We got in late, which was accommodated and had a wonderful night's stay in a clean, quiet, and spacious room. My mom wanted the AC running all night so I was worried I'd be chilly, but the bedding was warm without being overly so. I would gladly stay there again next time I'm in Nelson

Friendly staff. Good room layout with the two single beds is the separate room and the queen in the main living area. It seems odd at first, but really does work better.
