Good location near beach in Nelson

The Beachcomber Hotel has an excellent location, across the street from a large park, with the beach just past the park. There is also restaurants very close by. Our room was a bit small but met our needs. There is not air conditioning, but a fan helped.

Good value for a quick and fun overnight stay. Enjoyed the pool (especially because no one else happened to be there).. Pool was heated just enough.. A pleasant surprise, but not sure if they keep that up 365. Even better was the super hot, good pressure, spacious shower afterwards.. (bc it was dark/cold by the time we got out). Surprisingly bigger property than expected so kudos to all the staff keeping it tidy and clean.
