“Good option for a reasonable price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2011

I paid $129 for a one night stay here. My room was back from the road, quiet and well appointed. The front desk staff were very polite and helpful. The beds were comfortable, my only complaint about the room is that the shower head was a bit odd - the water ran very close to the wall. It was nice to get give a small bottle of milk (in my choice of low fat or regular) at check in to go with coffee (there was a plunger etc. in the room). $5 for 20 meg of WiFi internet was very handy too. If you don't have a car be aware that the lodge is in a "strip" of hotels etc. that are bit out of the central business district. So not at your doorstep if you're walking - I walked to town though and it probably too minutes.

“Fantastic accommodation, shame about the arrogant rude staff member.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011 via mobile

I have used this motel many times for accommodation and also for training in their coomference rooms. The accommodation is brilliant, and now they even have a bar and restaurant at the front of this large complex. It is quiet and the beds are great.
Today I had another training session but unfortunately for Leisure Lodge they have hired a staff member who was so rude, not once but at least 3 times that we will not be using this facility again....that is if they don't take advice to get rid of her quick smart. Such a shame...and by the way isn't the customer always right?

“Good location and room service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2011

Stayed here for 3 weeks while I was working a temp job. Great location and easy to access with its U-shaped driveway. Plenty of space to park your car. Has coin-operated washing machine and dryer facilities as well as a swimming pool and BBQ area that is unfortunately closed over winter. Wifi available too at $5 for the first 20MB and then 10c per MB thereafter and per sheet of paper printed. Rates are reasonable. Great room service - they will even wash your dishes and scrub your pots! Restaurant and bar allowed me to catch the Rugby on my days off with a $4 surcharge for meals being delivered to your room. Only downside is the lack of a fan in the kitchen which means a lot of steam builds up when you are cooking and condenses on the walls leading to water dripping down the walls. Otherwise great service from a great hotel in a sunny town. Recommend to others.

“Pricy and front desk staff needs more training”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 March 2011

This hotel has potential, with nicely appointed big rooms and grounds. This hotel even has an on-site restaurant. However, I had some trouble during the check in process where the front desk staff who was helping me didn't seem to know how the check in process works and caused quite a bit of confusion and frustration. Maybe that was just one staff, but maybe not. I was also somehow able to exceed the internet allowance without being notified and was charged a fee. The fee was nominal because I didn't exceed the allowance that much. But the charge could have been a lot more I guess if I used a lot more internet than I thought - could be an issue. Last, the hotel is also a little on the pricy side for what it is (a semi-upscale hotel), maybe that is true of all the hotels in Nelson however. Because of the above, I may or may not stay here again in the future and hesitate to recommend this hotel

“No support at all! AVOID!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 February 2011

We have arrived from Chch the next morning after the earthquake the 22nd Feb. In one of the hotels they had no rooms and manager contacted the Leisure Lodge for one family unit and a studio. They have confirmed availability. As soon as we arrived the receptionist letus know the price (around $200 for family and aaround 150 for studio)and it was ok with us. As soon as the manager came out and looked at us and the 3 kids she made "no" head move to the receptionist and immediately the was "no room available" to us. We are all business people in hospitality industry and we know what the "customer service" means. There is NO friendly and any other customer service in this place. Please avoid them so they probably will fix their attitude. To the owner: feel free to contact me if you think it is a not fair comment.
