Hotel berhampiran Hulme Reserve, Palmerston Utara

Great spacious and comfortable 2bdrm apartment for the family. Lots of room for everyone to move around in, very clean and tidy with comfy beds. Kids loved the spa. Very convenient and only a 5 min walk to town and takeaway restaurants. Highly recommend 👌 the Chancellor. Hosts are lovely and friendly.

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.

Great location, easy to find Cuba Street directly off Main Street. Motel located opposite stadium. Appreciated that they accommodated request for upstairs room and were okay with possible late arrival. Have stayed previously, obvious current owners have continued to update and improve facilities (new carpet, I think, and bigger TVs) Very clean, most importantly no trace of previous occupants, just a couple of spots that need attention....on carpet (looks like a spilage) and corner of spa bath (bit of mould) and walls by TV in need of repaint after repair. (I had first room in corridor, upstairs) ...otherwise perfectly clean. Disappointed not to have the recliners but understand that they may have to the end of their useful life. Would have liked to have had breakie out on deck but no table, (just 2 chairs), a small table would be very useful addition. Bed in this room not as comfortable as previous stays, maybe needs a topper. Air conditioning was great. Book direct with motel to get best rate.

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

A Great last minute stay here! Booked a room at the Harrington's Motor Lodge only 10mins before I arrived. I usually stay up the road, but the last minute room rate here was really good. The lovely lady at Reception hadn't quite seen my booking come through, so she rushed around getting my room organized. Proper Fresh Milk offered, none of those horrid UHT pottles to be seen. Parking was available directly outside the rooms. My room was just one of their basic studios. They were nothing flash, but all the fundamentals were excellent. Comfy Beds, Clean, and warm. Huge TV with the 50+ Sky TV Channels. Small Kitchenette with all the stuff you'd need to cook a small meal/breakfast. Bathroom had a wet area shower, which unfortunately had pretty shocking pressure. I had feared when I arrived, that this place may have been being used as an Emergency Housing Facility. There were a couple of shady people hanging around outside their rooms, and old beaten up cars. After a terrible experience the night before in a Motel that was an EH Facility, I was really nervous. However, the shady people outside were extremely quiet and respectful. So hopefully this place is not a EH Facility. My few gripes would be the shocking shower pressure. The lack of Power Sockets by the bed for the charging of phones and the likes. And not the Motels fault, but Turning right out of the Motel onto Fitzherbert Street can be very hard at times, and some massive patience is needed. So all in all, the Harrington's Motor Lodge is an extremely decent, comfortable, clean and affordable place to spend the night. The owners/manager are very friendly people. This place offers excellent value for money. Would definitely stay again
