Castles Motel

The bed was comfortable and the heater was fabulous to warm the unit. Liked the spacious table in the kitchen and full fridge for our food.

Our electric blankets didn't work, was told they'd put new ones on our bed after the first night, never happened and we stayed four nights. Shower had terrible pressure, didn't get fresh towels each day, and had no tea towel to do dishes. Key was terrible to turn and unlock the door and one of the window handles was broken and left on the floor. Garden view was OK, but not what I'd expect for a motel. We weren't even in the main castles motel building, but at the back in a separate wing with communal garden.

The heater in the main lounge wasn’t working at all and we were very cold the shower was also so weak it ruined the rest of the good things about the room once addressed the rest was clean and a nice place. But there is no taxis in this town at 7 am as they have a contact with the airlines and we had to go to the bus stop at 6 am so this is also a real issue with young children. Then at bus we discovered that the local toilets cost 20 cents so may not visit Nelson ever again and recommend others think twice as well. Thanks
