Chose this motel for location, look and pool as shown on internet. Location great, 500m from town and opposite Trafalgar Park. It was clean in arrival. However, for the price, it's old and dated, plus not serviced. Our room wasn't cleaned and when I asked I was advised it was because I didn't put sign in door. I had no sign, no advice to do so. Following day towels were changed out but that's all. No other servicing which was not at all expected nor is it advertised as a no service hotel. Pool is NOT heated as advertised. It was like ice and day 28. We were told pump was broken and it was swimmable but filthy and full of bugs. Full of kids toys and surrounded by old, broken furniture. Receptionist was friendly and helpful, but the rest really let them down.

Very friendly & helpful staff . The 2bedroom unit was in poor condition, mould on the ceiling of the bathroom, the oven still had crumbs & the icebox was unusable due to ice buildup.

Property looked much different in photos than it did in person. Cockroach running along walls, dirty under the furniture, very small. Pool was a mess. Overall very unhappy with my stay.

Weekend Away Nelson is a lovely place to stay. Weather was warm & a great vibe in the town centre. The motel has parking but it's easy to walk into the town centre. It was comfortable with separate little kitchen & bathroom. Nice cafe next to river about 5 mins walk from motel.

Never again! From the get go there was next to none customer service. The managers were arguing as I arrived and carried on even after I rang the bell. I was not alone in hearing this as another guest told me they heard it too. When we got back from dinner there were 5 guests who could not get hold of anyone to give them their room. Other guests and myself helped them out by offering them beds in our rooms. I literally had 3 strangers sleeping in one of my bedrooms. The shower was clogged and didn’t drain away and the shower pressure was very low, hard to rinse hair out before the shower base overflowed. There was 1/2 roll of toilet paper with no spares. Overall an awful experience.

Property was in need of a serious makeover. Appeared old and worn.

Clean, comfy & great location. Family group of 5 with adult children enjoyed our stay. Clean & comfy with ample space. We were upgraded to a 2 bedroom apartment which was ideal. We were able to check in an hour earlier when we arrived to park the car. It is an easy walk to CBD and lovely walking tracks around the river/creek. Management staff very welcoming & easy to talk to. Close to main roads, but no traffic noise at night. We enjoyed our stay & highly recommend.
