Hacienda Motor Lodge

Palmerston North Central

10/10 Excellent

What a delightful motel and such friendly and helpful staff. We were glad we chose this property. It was convenient for walking downtown to the Rugby Museum and lots of shops. The room was well appointed and my husband said it had the most comfortable lounge chair/seating of any property we had been in during our month of travel. The kitchenette worked well for our needs and the spa tub was perfect after a long day of hiking and car travel. Would highly recommend this property for a visit to...

Drovers Motor Inn

Palmerston North Central

10/10 Excellent

Last-minute switch to this hotel from another that was not acceptable. Our expectations were not high but we were pleasantly surprised. Bed was very comfortable, room was very spacious. Small balcony outside. Road noise minimal. Bathroom very large and somewhat spa-like in Its furnishings. TV was good, internet was fast, a/c was working and good! Restaurants within walking distance. Good amount of local info in the room binder.
