Very nice place to stay in Nelson. Clean and comfortable, the room had a small kitchenette that we didn't expect but appreciated, and just overall felt upscale. Staff were very friendly. Location was great and within walking distance of lots of great restaurants. Slightly limited parking, but it was off-street and easy to use. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay at the Palazzo Motor Lodge. Our studio was large, well equipped, comfortable and quiet. Staff were all very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The location is great for getting around town and there are good bus links nearby if you want to go further afield without driving.

Very well appointed motel room. We were (very) worried about the road noise especially as we had room 201 that faces the very busy road. However the property supplies earplugs and, more effectively, a white noise generator. Couple this with the immaculately clean and well equipped room and the super friendly staff we can’t but recommend the Palazzo.
