Find the Cheap Palmerston North Hotels

I must admit I was not sure what to expect when I booked this motel. I’ll happily admit I was pleasantly surprised. Easy to find and well located. Friendly host. Clean and tidy parking area. The room itself was spotless. Although I was only there for one night, it left me with a positive impression and I’ll very happily stay there again.

Picked this place as it was significantly cheaper than others this close to town. The male who checked us in was not good, unfriendly, didn't tell us where our room was, stared us from upstairs as we went out which was creepy. The room was really clean (apart from plastic left on the floor). The 2nd day service was terrible. No beds made, no soap replaced,no face cloths replaced, used towel not taken, left cleaning spray bottle in our bathroom. Appreciated they did our dishes which we didn't expect them to. The file about the room was sososo sticky the pages inside stuck together. The shower pressure was terrible! Nice hot water though. Loved that we could fit five of us in one room! Three singles in the bedroom & a queen in the lounge. Comfortable beds & bedding but had to ring for another blanket (& soap) as everyone was cold with the sheet & super thin duvet only. No electric blankets provided. Super comfy couch. Despite other reviews re this we found it really quiet & it had good black out curtains. Little touches like matching light bulbs the same shade & color & repairing the bedside unit are cheap & make a big difference. Wouldn't not recommend, it's well priced, a good location just let down by service in all areas.

Comfortable bed, good linen and lots of clean fluffy towels provided. But the place feels tired and sad. Seems it was being used as 'mixed' accommodation i.e. Emergency Motel that's still open to the public when we stayed there. Had on odd feeling to it. We had a two bedroom apartment which was OK. Everything we needed was there but it was just sad and tired. The 'apartment' was dark, 'lifeless' and overpriced, and had a strong disinfectant smell throughout. The spa didn't work properly (spewed out water in places it shouldn't have). When we arrived the receptionist couldn't find our booking and was quite rude, unhelpful and unwelcoming. The advertising for Bentley's Motor Inn is overstated.

Very helpful and supportive for having to extend my stay, without much warning.l, due to hospital appointments. Clean and cosy studio unit which was suitable for my needs. Cafe Zest is a superb Cafe with menu items for Gluten-free customers and also willingness to find out ingredients in foods offered. Great coffee always 😋

Palmerston North is blessed with a load of Motels and Hotels, ranging from the Absolute Dire, to Really, Really good. Aspree Motor Inn is the pick of the bunch. Fastidiously Clean and functional rooms, epic Customer Service and an awesome location. Even whilst being on the Main Drag, the rooms are quiet and afford a decent night's rest. We have our Drivers staying here at least once a week for a while now, and they do not like staying anywhere but the Aspree. Fantastic parking around the back allows easy access for Trucks and Trailers. It's location in proximity to Supermarkets and Restaurants really cannot be beat. The Nightly Rates are extremely good value for money. We really appreciate our Drivers being able to stay in such Clean and Comfortable rooms while they are away from their families. Keep up the amazing work Aspree Team!

Great location, easy to find Cuba Street directly off Main Street. Motel located opposite stadium. Appreciated that they accommodated request for upstairs room and were okay with possible late arrival. Have stayed previously, obvious current owners have continued to update and improve facilities (new carpet, I think, and bigger TVs) Very clean, most importantly no trace of previous occupants, just a couple of spots that need attention....on carpet (looks like a spilage) and corner of spa bath (bit of mould) and walls by TV in need of repaint after repair. (I had first room in corridor, upstairs) ...otherwise perfectly clean. Disappointed not to have the recliners but understand that they may have to the end of their useful life. Would have liked to have had breakie out on deck but no table, (just 2 chairs), a small table would be very useful addition. Bed in this room not as comfortable as previous stays, maybe needs a topper. Air conditioning was great. Book direct with motel to get best rate.

A Great last minute stay here! Booked a room at the Harrington's Motor Lodge only 10mins before I arrived. I usually stay up the road, but the last minute room rate here was really good. The lovely lady at Reception hadn't quite seen my booking come through, so she rushed around getting my room organized. Proper Fresh Milk offered, none of those horrid UHT pottles to be seen. Parking was available directly outside the rooms. My room was just one of their basic studios. They were nothing flash, but all the fundamentals were excellent. Comfy Beds, Clean, and warm. Huge TV with the 50+ Sky TV Channels. Small Kitchenette with all the stuff you'd need to cook a small meal/breakfast. Bathroom had a wet area shower, which unfortunately had pretty shocking pressure. I had feared when I arrived, that this place may have been being used as an Emergency Housing Facility. There were a couple of shady people hanging around outside their rooms, and old beaten up cars. After a terrible experience the night before in a Motel that was an EH Facility, I was really nervous. However, the shady people outside were extremely quiet and respectful. So hopefully this place is not a EH Facility. My few gripes would be the shocking shower pressure. The lack of Power Sockets by the bed for the charging of phones and the likes. And not the Motels fault, but Turning right out of the Motel onto Fitzherbert Street can be very hard at times, and some massive patience is needed. So all in all, the Harrington's Motor Lodge is an extremely decent, comfortable, clean and affordable place to spend the night. The owners/manager are very friendly people. This place offers excellent value for money. Would definitely stay again

Good: nice to see a motel refurbishing the bathroom -clean , presentable and nice shower over decent spa bath .location central however single glazed so somewhat noisy from road . Bad : clientele next door I had a guest and there friends partying, coming and going , loud / shouting and drunk and ….very messy They took my delivery order food ! Claiming they thought it was there’s. Reported my concerns about this / drunk …driving / noise to reception Also made offical complaint about it all in morning - met with no empathy from owner little in the way of fixing except I have talked to guest about the visitors . The place didn’t feel good I didn’t feel safe and had poor sleep and no dinner ! The bed was very low to the ground and bed linen not nicely dressed or presented .. cheap shiny cover and flat pillows . Given lack of response from owner or assurance will not return ever . One of the worst experiences in 30 years of travelling

Booked this motel through Webjet with after pay, it was such an easy process, Called to see if they received my booking & it was confirmed. I paid a security deposit of $200 as I don't have a credit card and this was returned back to me upon checkout. The staff was Super Lovely I wish they came like that everywhere!! Spa was So amazing I stayed in there nearly the whole evening. The only thing that stuck out was the noise of the vehicles you can hear few beeps and burnouts with the windows closed, but it didn't really bother me as I'm from Auckland and live next to a motorway.

Booked 3 rooms for family group, totalling 8 room nights. In Palmy for a family wedding. The room was very clean and the rate very good at $135 a night. The motel is very close to the Mall Entrance with lots of decent shopping and also near a number of restaurants. I liked the walking distance aspect. The rooms were very dark and there is a fan rather than air con. Luckily it wasn’t too hot. Our room had an upgraded bathroom, others did not. There were a couple of issues with the shower not draining in the non renovated bathrooms. The reception manager is friendly, however we requested a later checkout and when refused, asked if wer could just use one of our three rooms, for half an hour, due to a late night the previous day at the wedding. However this was declined. I would have thought request that wouldn’t have imposed on the cleaning schedule too much as the other rooms could have been serviced first. For an $1000+ reservation group, most hotels I’ve stayed in would accomodate this request. Accordingly I have marked down this property, which I rarely do.
