Excellent accommodation in Palmerston North. Close to the Plaza. Good sound proofing on windows. Very new and everything in our studio apartment was excellent. The mattress protector squeaked and crackled but otherwise excellent comfy bed. Don’t ask to check in 20 mins early as you will not be welcome. First time I’ve been growled at for arriving 20 mins early. I totally understood our room wasn’t ready and check-in is AT 2PM! but there are nicer ways to explain this to guests. The rest of our stay was great. So just a small blip on the radar. We would definitely stay here again.
The hotel is technically at the town centre, but it feels hidden and sort of at the very fringe. The hotel seems to have little intention to make its existence known as there are no clear signs at the top of its building or any signs placed at other strategic locations. It has quite a lot of parking spaces though. And there is a big Park N Save supermarket and petrol station across the street. The room has no air conditioning. So be aware.
Comfortable bed, good linen and lots of clean fluffy towels provided. But the place feels tired and sad. Seems it was being used as 'mixed' accommodation i.e. Emergency Motel that's still open to the public when we stayed there. Had on odd feeling to it. We had a two bedroom apartment which was OK. Everything we needed was there but it was just sad and tired. The 'apartment' was dark, 'lifeless' and overpriced, and had a strong disinfectant smell throughout. The spa didn't work properly (spewed out water in places it shouldn't have). When we arrived the receptionist couldn't find our booking and was quite rude, unhelpful and unwelcoming. The advertising for Bentley's Motor Inn is overstated.
Booked 3 rooms for family group, totalling 8 room nights. In Palmy for a family wedding. The room was very clean and the rate very good at $135 a night. The motel is very close to the Mall Entrance with lots of decent shopping and also near a number of restaurants. I liked the walking distance aspect. The rooms were very dark and there is a fan rather than air con. Luckily it wasn’t too hot. Our room had an upgraded bathroom, others did not. There were a couple of issues with the shower not draining in the non renovated bathrooms. The reception manager is friendly, however we requested a later checkout and when refused, asked if wer could just use one of our three rooms, for half an hour, due to a late night the previous day at the wedding. However this was declined. I would have thought request that wouldn’t have imposed on the cleaning schedule too much as the other rooms could have been serviced first. For an $1000+ reservation group, most hotels I’ve stayed in would accomodate this request. Accordingly I have marked down this property, which I rarely do.

So Quiet!. Even though right next to a service station this motel was very quiet and the coffee from the BP was actually very good. Could not fault the clean crisp sheets and plenty of room in the Tons of Sky Sport but there’s no movie channels. An easy fix if you remember your Netflix password. Very happy with our stay
ผผู้เข้าพักPicked this place as it was significantly cheaper than others this close to town. The male who checked us in was not good, unfriendly, didn't tell us where our room was, stared us from upstairs as we went out which was creepy. The room was really clean (apart from plastic left on the floor). The 2nd day service was terrible. No beds made, no soap replaced,no face cloths replaced, used towel not taken, left cleaning spray bottle in our bathroom. Appreciated they did our dishes which we didn't expect them to. The file about the room was sososo sticky the pages inside stuck together. The shower pressure was terrible! Nice hot water though. Loved that we could fit five of us in one room! Three singles in the bedroom & a queen in the lounge. Comfortable beds & bedding but had to ring for another blanket (& soap) as everyone was cold with the sheet & super thin duvet only. No electric blankets provided. Super comfy couch. Despite other reviews re this we found it really quiet & it had good black out curtains. Little touches like matching light bulbs the same shade & color & repairing the bedside unit are cheap & make a big difference. Wouldn't not recommend, it's well priced, a good location just let down by service in all areas.
Palmerston North is blessed with a load of Motels and Hotels, ranging from the Absolute Dire, to Really, Really good. Aspree Motor Inn is the pick of the bunch. Fastidiously Clean and functional rooms, epic Customer Service and an awesome location. Even whilst being on the Main Drag, the rooms are quiet and afford a decent night's rest. We have our Drivers staying here at least once a week for a while now, and they do not like staying anywhere but the Aspree. Fantastic parking around the back allows easy access for Trucks and Trailers. It's location in proximity to Supermarkets and Restaurants really cannot be beat. The Nightly Rates are extremely good value for money. We really appreciate our Drivers being able to stay in such Clean and Comfortable rooms while they are away from their families. Keep up the amazing work Aspree Team!
Very helpful and supportive for having to extend my stay, without much warning.l, due to hospital appointments. Clean and cosy studio unit which was suitable for my needs. Cafe Zest is a superb Cafe with menu items for Gluten-free customers and also willingness to find out ingredients in foods offered. Great coffee always 😋
