"We had such a great stay at Harrington’s Motor Lodge. The staff were absolutely lovely and so welcoming. The room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We stayed for two nights and were pleasantly surprised that the room was cleaned each day, which was a nice touch. The location is great too. It’s right across from the Esplanade and park. There’s also a BP within an easy walking distance, and it’s not too far to walk into town. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and honestly couldn’t fault it. Would definitely stay here again next time we’re in Palmerston North!"

"First time here and relaxing, peaceful and local stay in Palmy. Check in was no fuss, room immaculate and clean, had an iron and ironing board, everything we needed amd so local to restaurants, mall, city centre. We had Room 7. The only downfall was the Spa, we loved that it was a private Spa that could at least 4 of us, but the temperature was more like warm than hot. Other than that, a great stay, we'll come back here for sure."
