Sails Nelson Motel is a culinary gem! The in-room breakfast was a delightful way to start the day, and the nearby restaurants like Stefano's Pizzeria and Halifax Cafe are just a stone's throw away. The large TV was perfect for unwinding after an epic day of exploring, and the kitchen was stocked with thoughtful goodies like fresh milk—such a nice touch!

While my stay was mostly top-notch, the nightlife from the street did keep things a bit lively, so earplugs might come in handy.

I had a super cozy stay in the King Studio, Disability Access. The bed was amazing, like sleeping on clouds! Loved the spacious bathroom with fab toiletries. It felt very clean and fresh. Just a quick walk to downtown made grabbing food easy. Overall, a top-notch experience!

Spacious and comfortable with great amenities

Our one-night stay was delightful, particularly because the bed was incredibly comfortable and the room was clean and spacious. The kitchenette had all the essentials, and the coffee machine was a fantastic touch. However, the noise from the street was a bit annoying at times, which made it hard to get a restful sleep.

lack of play area

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The rooms were clean and well-equipped, perfect for our family. Mark's recommendations for local attractions, like the Natureland Zoo, were a hit with the kids. The breakfast was plentiful and quite delicious!

My kids wished for a larger play area for some outdoor fun.
