Guest Reviews
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Had very basic facilities and the beds and pillows were rock hard!! Otherwise a nice place!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - It was just a quick in and out visit, so didn't want to pay a lot. It did the job, is a little tired, tape around mirror, wall not clean under bench, bathroom dated. But was ok for the price and the fact we only slept and left. Pillows were hard beds comfy enough. Free WiFi.
- Christine (8/5): Good value and comfortable. - A small but comfortable older style unit just five minutes from the city centre and not much further from the airport. Electric blanket and reliable heating welcomed on a cold Palmy night. Staff very obliging, as ever. My second visit but not my last.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Close to airport and quiet older motel but clean
Owner working on buying the building so can do up the barhroom areas
- Verified traveler (8/5): - would use it again, comfortable bed, little traffic noise
- Verified traveler (8/5): - It was a clean, friendly and good value place to stay.

- Frank (8/5): - Our Always Inn Motel Unit was a great base for my family as we stayed in Palmerston North over a few days. We appreciated the heaters which kept us warm through some cold winter days. The staff were friendly and the Manager was very helpful.
- LJ (10/5): Value for money - Room had everything we needed for an overnight stay. The owner is great and goes out of his way to make sure you are comfortable. The electric blankets and heater were on when we arrived. Room was very clean. We would stay again.

- Christine (2/5): A good value option - A good choice for a short stay. Room had all amenities and was warm and comfortable. Bathroom a bit old though everything spotlessly clean. A little out of the town centre but really only 5 minutes drive. Would stay there again.
- Antonia (8/5): Thoughtful staff and comfy bed - Stayed one night en-route to Wellington. Arrived late at night due to long drive. On arrival the heater and electric blanket were on. So thoughtful!
Room was comfy with everything you need for a short stay.

- tanea (8/5): easy find motel for travellers - Late arriving but with great communication it was not an issue. Clean clean, clean! Everything worked. Thanks a million
- Kaz (8/5): Cheap and cheerful - An older motel and the outside really needs a facelift, however, I was pleasantly surprised when I stepped inside. Everything was very clean, bright and comfortable and there were some thoughtful extras such as makeup remover pads in the bathroom. The only negative is that the entire shower needs updating and the water pressure was poor. Pretty good value for money and very friendly owner.

- Meghan (10/5): Soft towels.... 😍 - Great place. Very comfortable. The softest towels I have ever had In a motel.
- Harold (8/5): Good Value - Like visiting a friend. I got a txt early the day of our arrival querying when we would arrive, from Ian. Very pleasant, and a congenial fellow when we did arrive. Quality as one would expect for a budget price but clean and perfectly serviceable. He was out of brochures on local restaurants, but other than that just fine.

- Noise from the street -top much tarsealing. Well positioned close to city square.
- Renee (10/5): Very clean and great service - The room was so clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed for our stay. We were given clean towels each day and when I asked a staff member if I could do some laundry, she kindly offered to do it for me and returned all clean and dry. A lovely Motel to stay at. I'd definitely stay there again and will definitely recommend to my family and friends.

- raine (4/5): Motel we had stayed at years ago - The first night was fine the next day when we left the reception was still closed at nine am. that night we where disturbed all night by the people next door , in and out there door smoking and the door was slammed open and closed. the next morning the reception was still closed at nine thirty when we left. When we returned at three thirty the reception was closed and owners where out we where disturbed that night from next door with talking and laughing and in and out the door until I shouted out to shut up. There was no info in the room about the motel or who ran it or anything. we where going to book another stay here for a time in May but changed our minds after this disappointing stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Stay the weekend and found that the stay is comfortable for two people. Highly recommend
- Tim (6/5): - Clean, tidy and comfortable for overnight stay. Manager courteous and helpful.
- Jan (8/5): Enjoyable stay - Unit was comfortable, including beds. Not noisy. Owner helpful. Location was convenient for our needs.
Would stay there again if needed a motel near airport.
- Warren (8/5): - A little older tha the normal motels i have stayed at recently. But good vaule for money
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Overnight stay. Perfect spot in Palmy. Recommend this motel.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - It was disappointing to have no sink or water in the kitchen. If you wanted a cup of tea the only place to fill up the kettle was in the bathroom and there was nowhere to wash dishes.
- Verified traveler (8/5): CONDITION OF PROPERTY
- GENERAL APPEARENCE FROM STREET AND PARKING AREA NOT THE BEST,TIDYNESS IN GROUNDS AVERAGE.BAD ACCESS TO GET OUT ON TO ROAD IF WANTING TO GET BACK TO CITY CENTRE.
ROOM CONDITION TIDY AND CLEAN BUT VERY 1970'S STYLE.FACILITIES PROVIDED ADEQUATE.
- Lockland (10/5): Everything you need for a great price - I stayed here recently booking at very late notice which the staff were more than willing to accommodate.
It was the best value Motel in the area and on arrival the friendly staff made me feel very welcome.
The room was clean, tidy and comfortable with off street parking.
There was internet access and Sky channels which I didn't expect, overall the Motel had everything I needed and was a great stay.
Sure it's not the most fancy accommodation around but it was good for me and didn't break the bank.
I believe there are family rooms available also which is always a good option.
I highly recommend this Motel and will use again.
Enjoy!
- Leeann (8/5): Affordable & clean - Very nice and helpful staff. Older motel but all facilities in working order clean and affordable. Is on a main rd but there was very little road noise
- babita (4/5): Always Inn Motel Stay - We stayed to attend a family function. Very old fashioned and moist. Bathroom and bedroom too cold and moist. No ventilator in the bathroom. No proper heating available apart from electric bed heaters. Front heater too old and keeps turning off as of the timer system on it. Mirror handing at the wrong side of the wall in the bathroom and front mirror too small and on the place no one can use. Room door blocking bathroom/toilet excess if room door left open. No bath towels for the floor. No extra choices of Tea or coffee. Nothing available for kids to drink.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Satisfied.
- The male receptionist was very welcoming, pleasant and helpful. I was only there for a few hours at night
and have no complaints. Was speaking to someone today who also uses your motel in P.Nth .
Will use it again if I need accommodation in P.Nth.
- HOWARD (8/5): Adequate for price. - 2 night stay. Adiquate for what we required. Have stayed before and would stay again.
- Sherry (6/5): Somewhere to lay your head - We only needed a night to the lay our heads as we had a busy weekend schedule!!
