4/10 Fair

I have stayed here previously several times whilst in Nelson for work, and it’s always been ok, however this visit the majority of the hotel seemed to be booked out for a school booking, who we so noisy it was impossible to get to sleep at any decent hour and constant noise was very frustrating Maybe if you have a large group of children staying in the future tell guests that are part of that group so they can stay elsewhere, I will not be coming back

My room was small and next to laundry which made it noisy, not only with dryers going next door but with sounds of water running through pipes and backflow sounds from the drain, etc. Fairly outdated facility but clean and tidy.
