I had an outstanding experience at the Century Park Motor Lodge during my recent stay in Nelson. The location was perfect; I could easily walk to the city center and nearby restaurants while enjoying a peaceful atmosphere at night.

However, there were some minor issues with the amenities in the room that could be improved.

Our stay at the hotel was simply fantastic! The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and we were pleasantly surprised by the upgrade to a bigger room. The friendly hosts provided great suggestions for local attractions, making our trip even better. It was easy to access the main attractions since we were just a short walk to downtown. However, the main road nearby did make it a bit noisy at times, though our room remained quiet. Overall, we got great value for our money.
