Copthorne Hotel Palmerston North
3.9/5124 Reviews
We loved our stay at the Copthorne Palmerston North, the bed was so comfortable and the room exceeded our expectations of cleanliness, so thank you. This was our second weekend in a row in Palmerston North and unfortunately we made the mistake of staying at another hotel the weekend before and was so disappointed as it had been a rather expensive place, thinking it would be of excellent quality but no, hats off to the Copthorne. We couldn’t fault them at all, we will be returning there always.
Aspen Court Motel Taihape
4.4/5109 Reviews
This is our favorite motel in the North Island and we have stayed 6 times now. The spa studio room is nice and roomy, with great area for suitcases off the floor which saves our backs. The bed is super large and super comfy. The spa was super relaxing. Plenty of hot water, and the plunger coffee was a lovely addition. Lovely friendly service staff. Highly recommended to anyone looking for the same experience. Thanks to the owners.
Distinction Coachman Hotel, Palmerston North
3.6/5109 Reviews
The only problem we had was the room was double booked for what ever reason . We require a refund for the second room as it was cancelled by the Coachman.
Skotel Alpine Resort
4.1/5124 Reviews
The hotel has very friendly staff, there is an option to rent hiking and skiing equipment, the rooms have their own bathrooms, and some basic kitchen things, such as plates, are provided in the rooms. An option of a whirlpool is also nice. Just be careful that the views from the rooms on the pictures only applies to the rooms on the side down from the hill. The side up to the hill, such as where we had our room, faces a parking lot with facility's background. I visited the place in December and at that time, there was no vegetable at breakfast buffet, just some canned fruit. I would have very much appreciated some veggies. Other than that, you are close to the national park with a lot of hiking trail options around, especially if you have a car.
Fitzherbert Castle Motel
4.2/5101 Reviews
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.

Aotea Motor Lodge
4.3/546 Reviews
A Motel I really loved in NZ! A fantastic and very warm welcome and really wonderful rooms. I had a room with a spa and it was great. Big rooms, well maintained and very comfy. As we had a room in the back of the compound, we did not hear any traffic going by.
Avenue Motel Palmerston North
4.2/546 Reviews
Couldn’t recommend more highly. Such a kind and pleasant owner. Exceptionally clean motel, very comfortable beds and everything one could need. Close to the city centre but quiet. Excellent parking. We had been let down very last minute by “The Quality Suits” in Palmerston North and found ourselves stranded (after a long flight from singapore) with no accommodation on the eve of our daughters graduation from Massey University with nowhere to stay. PN was fully booked as you would expect. This motel owner could not have been more helpful and managed to shuffle things around to fit us in. He really saved us and we went on to enjoy our special family celebration. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in PN this place and owner is gold. Thank you.
