Rooms were clean, extremely well lit, albeit lacking somewhat for coat hangers, just a couple of hooks and a small chest of drawers. Room small, bed good, bathroom huge and very clean. Easy to check in and out. Coffee machine needed engineering degree but worked fine. Parking plentiful and easy

Booked this hotel based on an 8.4 rating but this is no where close to that rating . It was clean and comfortable but very much in need of an update . Not a terrible stay but will book something better if in Nelson again . Travelled with my wife and this isn’t a couples hotel any longer .
