If you like a Tuscan vibe, this is the place for you. Great sea front location. I think we hit this hotel in off season and it was super quiet. Situated in a small, residential townhouse community - not sure what amenities are available.

Relatively easy to find and a quick drive into the city. Ability to have perculated coffee was an extra bonus. Clean & suited the needs for a one night stay.

To describe this place as oceanside is laughable. At best, it's estuary-side, and mostly the mudflats. I paid extra to have an "ocean" view, and that simply wasn't the case. We arrived mid afternoon and had to text a number to have someone come to the lobby. The room was fine, although certainly not high end. The people working that we saw, however, were super friendly. The restaurant next door is incredible! So, it's fine, but don't expect high end.

Note there is a 2.5% credit card surcharge for booking via Expedia, and reception does not open until 9am so you have no choice to avoid this when leaving. Nice boutique experience but overpriced by 25% at least. No elevator so you have to carry luggage to 1st floor so be ready for stairs. Bar staff in the attached bar/restaurant not particularly friendly or welcoming. Unlikely to recommend or stay here again.

Nice hotel, but....

Pros: Clean room, jacuzzi tub, water view, staff was super proactive about making sure I was handled for late check-in. Cons: No elevator, no microwave, mattress was really awful

Small room for the price but not many other choices in Nelson. Seems to book out quickly and last minute bookings not ideal. Nice facilities however, friendly staff.

Our room was on the top 2nd floor & only accessible by stairs. It wasn't a concern for us, but might be for some. We had a room with a view over the lake which was great.

The room was clean and comfortable, just older style. Bathroom was more modern which was nice. The reception area has limited hours but we were able to get our key when we arrived late in the evening. There is a wonderful restaurant next door
