The Honest Lawyer, Ascend Hotel Collection
4.2/543 Reviews
I really wanted to give this place a 4 star, but the location of a wedding party opposite my room and the surprising lack of breakfast ( just a box of weetabix and some cookies) made it a little disappointing for me….. That’s a shame as the hotel/pub is a nice place., tranquil (when there is no wedding), a few meters from a great walking path along the coast towards Nelson or Richmond and with a fine pub with good food all on site. The staff are friendly, rooms are clean (if starting to look a little tired) and have most things you could need, even a spa bath! If I was here again however I would investigate the newer and better looking hotel over the road…..

Century Park
4.7/558 Reviews
Absolutely LOVED the presidential suit I booked for 2 adults and 3 children. So clean, beds were comfortable, facilities were perfect for a young family. Our hosts Ric and Tina were absolutely amazing and went over and above to service us. They offered beach towels for outings, washing and drying services and daily cleans. Can't recommend this place enough! 20/10!
Delorenzo Studio Apartments
4.6/5103 Reviews
Hotel location is convenient, walk to the main street of the city 7-8 minutes. The kitchen and bathroom facilities are complete, and the separate kitchen is suitable for those who like to cook their own meals. If you bring a child, you will have to pay for the child. Filling out the child information when booking a room automatically calculates the room rate and automatically assigns the appropriate room. If you temporarily increase your child's stay, you will need to add a child's room rate. This is a motel with plenty of parking.
Rutherford Hotel Nelson - A Heritage Hotel
4.2/579 Reviews
Great location, Staff were lovely, place was dated but tidy. Dinner Restaurant is still closed due to covid. The main reason for the down review is I had booked with a voucher for the first night that included breakfast. I asked for 2 more nights and expected breakfast. When I checked in, I validated it was but when we checked out was told not the case so we paid $69 (2 pax) per day for an avg breakfast that had we known we would have gone elsewhere and paid less. Mgr on duty would not budge or even apologise. Disappointed as I would have rated much higher
