Very nice place to stay in Nelson. Clean and comfortable, the room had a small kitchenette that we didn't expect but appreciated, and just overall felt upscale. Staff were very friendly. Location was great and within walking distance of lots of great restaurants. Slightly limited parking, but it was off-street and easy to use. We would definitely stay here again!
