    Wonderful hotel with accommodating personnel. Nice looking and good sized room for relaxing. Marvellous and stunning location a super close walk to city center. 0.5 miles from Nelson airport. Friendly service at the restaurant! Not the cheapest one but value for money.

    Sails Nelson Motel is a culinary gem! The in-room breakfast was a good 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!

    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. A great experience!

    Excellent place with its Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and in-room breakfast. I remember how the staff helped me find my lost wallet during my first stay. I always return for a holiday.

    Spacious and comfortable with great amenities

    The kitchenette had all the essentials, and the coffee machine was a fantastic touch. The noise from the street was a bit annoying at times, hard to get a restful sleep.
