Very comfortable. Nice quality. If you’re staying in Palmerston North, this is the best place to stay. Cons: bed very soft (subjective), no tissue boxes in the room, no option to opt out of getting the room cleaned each day.

We had to make a booking the day before and I'm so glad we got in here. On check-in we needed to add an extea guest and it was no issue at all. The room was clean, modern, warm and homey. The courtyard attached was brilliant as well. Highly recommend.

We stayed in a studio apartment, which was lovely and clean. The carpet was new and clean, as was the bathroom. It was great having a smart TV with Netflix. It is short drive to the town centre, and a short walk to the supermarket.
