"The location was excellent as were the staff, the room was nice and had a great view of the garden. The only small issue was that the tv was very small in a very large room. Regardless of this the next time we come to Martinborough, we will stay at the hotel in the Palliser room again."
"A comfortable bed and a good shower are my priorities when using a motel. And this one provided both.
The decor is dated but we paid half the price that we normally pay for a motel so not complaining. The unit was clean, tidy and had a good supply of crockery, cutlery, pots & pans as well as utensils. A small couch as well as a dining room table were also a bonus."
"Set in a quiet residential street. A basic, clean and comfortable room. The shower was rather weak unless you were happy with a very cold shower. As we were asked to check in/out on line, which was fairly straightforward we didn't get to see the staff (this is the only reason for the lower staff score). It would be helpful if the check in/out email reflected the local procedure rather than the company standard as the key was not where the email said nor did we have to leave it where the email said. About 1/2 hour walk to restaurants and shops."
"Great unobtrusive Kiwi hospitality in a wonderful location. We were there in early spring and already the garden was bursting with color with tulips, daffodils, and blossoms on the trees. Birdsong everywhere. Enjoyed a very comfortable room and a great breakfast. Had great communication from Renee and Kevin. Looking forward to returning."
