Great location, clean tidy with a change of towels and bins emptied each day. Decent shower and facilities, super friendly owners who were very kind and helpful, even went out of there way to make some phone calls for me as I don’t have a NZ phone.

I don’t have a car but peoples cars practically parked inside my room. Engines running with fumes coming in. Noise from people coming and going from all hours. Noisy people above but still overall I enjoyed my stay here, I’d probably choose the same style studio just away from the carpark if possible.

The welcome offered by Kelly and Fraser on arrival and the cleanliness and quality and size of the room and rhe comfort of the beds affirmed that Admirals Motor Lodge was perfect for our stay. The inroom amenities, the little extra like free milk, the extra advice on where to eat, how to walk to the city centre and what to see in and around Nelson added to the pleasure of staying. After 10 days travelling the laundry was all done within an hour in a better than home laundry . The cleanliness of the total facility was remarkable.

There was nothing that could be done better, because everything was perfect. My partner suggested that as every bathroom amenity was supplied a shower cap was the only thing missing. She commented on the thr glass doors on the shower where so clean and sparkling compared to curtains offered in other motels we had stayed in.

Check in with Kelly went very smoothly, at the end of a long day of driving, and she gave us some good suggestions for activities the following day. We stayed in #12, and the upstairs bedroom was perfect for our daughter to have some privacy in the evening; she loved the exposed beams. The kitchenette was small, but well provided with microwave, fridge, and kettle. We found the staff friendly and the location allowed us to walk and explore the center of Nelson.

A strong northerly wind blew through the night and the sliding door whistled a bit because of it.

This was by far our favourite place we have stayed in on our travels around the South Island. Excellent Host ,friendly and helpful .Great recommendations for what to do in the area and beyond. Rooms were fantastic, very spacious, beds super comfortable great nights sleep had by all .It also had a separate kitchen. Could not have asked for better. Would definitely stay here again

An upstairs studio apartment to ourselves. Peaceful. Location was reasonable to city. Walkable. Laundry facilities. Kitchenette facilities. Clean, serviced daily.

No control for lights next to bed. Needed bedside lamp. No room safe. Although a fan was provided there was no air con and the room was very hot as the afternoon as sun shone direct into it. No comfortable seats only hard chairs.

Fraser and Kelly (the owners) were extremely friendly and gave us a very warm greeting when we arrived. The room had everything we needed and it was a comfortable stay. There's a supermarket nearby, a great breakfast place (Rust Eatery) down the street and is about a 10 minute walk to the main part of town.

As the motel is on a main road, if you're bothered by noise, request a room that doesn't face the road.

Unit was great, looking onto a park/field. kids loved the attic style bedroom upstairs. Small living area but had a dining table which was good. Close to the CBD. Fraser was very friendly and helpful.

Basic kitchen, no stove or oven. No BBQ facilities. Laundry opening hours, we are early risers so would have been handy to do some washing early

Fraser was very friendly and helpful and made every effort to make us stay as enjoyable as possible

The nightlight in the car park was difficult to screen out through the sliding door, but this was really insignificant apart from waking up in the night thinking it was the day! To be honest that could’ve been due to jetlag

The staff helped with every inquiry concerning where we wanted to go. The Hotel was very close to the Hospital which we had to go to each day and the room was large and comfortable so it made it easier to come back to after emotional hospital visit. So enjoyed our time will book the Motor Inn again the next time we return to Nelson

Everything was great.

Family run motel, both Kelly and Fraser very friendly and helpful hosts, to book for 3 nights I had to book 2 nights in one room then the third night in another but they arranged things so that I just stayed in the one room for 3 nights with no need to move. Basically I had a studio apartment which exceeded my requirements but which I enjoyed all the same. The wardrobe in my room #18 was a real Harry Potter cupboard under the stairs!

Without a car (not their fault of course!) I ended up doing a lot of walking but it was manageable (for a senior) eg to Founders Park and Japanese garden one day and centre of NZ the next. Some people wouldn't like the main road location but that didn't bother me. Roadworks the first day (again not their fault) were a bit of an inconvenience.
