Spotless and spacious ”

Couldn't fault the cleanliness. We were very impressed with our room. Spotless. A nice break away with the family for a couple of nights. Close to the town centre and a short drive to Victoria esplanade. We had a one bedroomed room that felt spacious and well laid out. Although beside a busy road it was very quiet at night. Friendly and welcoming. Would recommend.

Shared a room with a friend. We were impressed with how spacious the room and bathroom was. Amenities were provided, making the stay easier. We didn’t use the kitchenette, but can see it being helpful for those who stay longer than a night. Check in and check out process was easy. Staff were very accommodating to us needing to check out earlier than the time reception opens in the AM. Wold recommend for those staying in Palmerston North. Getting to and from Shadzz Motel was easy, and it’s walking distance to the city.
