Quirky artwork throughout hotel was a joy. Indoor and outdoor dining areas were excellent and food was good. Our king executive room was very comfortable. The spa shower and good quality shampoo, conditioner and body wash were an unexpected treat and greatly appreciated. Fresh air from door to balcony was appreciated. Great location for all Nelson CBD has to offer.
