Feeling the love and hospitality - will return!

👍 like my review! We had an amazing 2 night stay at Colonial Motel in Blenheim, New Zealand as part of our journey across the country. We chose this place due to its proximity to the Marlborough wine region and its walkability to several places including downtown! Unlike other motels, we felt the hospitality and warmth instantly from the family managing the property throughout our stay. Even though we arrived late due to a major delay of the ferry going through the rocky waters of the Cook Strait, they responded to our messages (using the Hotels.com mobile application) with understanding. After parking our car in our allocated spot, our stay in the upstairs room #10 was enjoyable. The room was very clean, bed and pillows were comfortable, bathroom had its toiletries (e.g. shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion) along with a working ventilation fan, fridge had a separate compartment for freezing, internet was optimal, outlets throughout and near the end of the bed were useful for charging, and several amenities (e.g. Nespresso, instant coffee, French press coffee grounds, tea, hot chocolate, fresh milk, cutlery, utensils, cookware, microwave, stovetop) were thoughtful. They were also next door to a laundromat along with small and big grocery stores nearby nestled with quick places to eat. Overall, we would definitely want to stay here again and would recommend it to our friends and family.

The room was clean and well stocked with the necessities- that had conditioner which is always a bonus. Check in was easy and the staff were so friendly. Very close to everything, with a Night and Day next door. Really enjoyed our stay- even better we could take our dog!
