“I found this to be a particularly well-situated place to stay, located near the port with its many restaurants and a supermarket just across the street. The inclusion of reclining seating in the rooms is a thoughtful touch and after looking at the location and services, I'd say it's an especially good choice for those who want to explore Nelson and also have easy access to local amenities.”
