Adam, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was dated, and noisy as in from of Laundry and next to toilets Food seemed not as good as last stay
Amy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed at the Hotel Nelson for 3 nights and had a double queen bed room with kitchenette. The beds and pillows were comfortable and when we had a problem with a toaster, the management were very prompt replacing the toaster. We also ate at the onsite restaurant one night and found it to have good service and a reasonably priced menu. The only thing that I didn't like was the lack of dedicated car park spaces. Two of the three nights that we were there, we ended up parking on the street out the front as it was closer to our room.
