"We had a 12 day stay while attending a conference in Nelson and really enjoyed the Sails. The staff was great, even helping us locate my wife's lost nickers which were accidentally taken out with the used towels! All the conveniences of home. Also, great location for all things Nelson. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed."

"Room was nice and clean, staff welcoming. The hotel has a restaurant which was convenient. Breakfast was available for a fee. Parking is also free. Just the location is not that great as it is on a main street. We had a room facing the busy street, therefore, the night was not really quiet. But anything else was fine and it is a good hotel."

"Nice large room. Beds were comfortable. I wasn't too keen showering with a cockroach. Being a motel cleaner and my sister a motel owner, my expectations of cleanliness maybe high. Moved a chair in the kitchen and the floor was covered in crumbs. Suggest to lift mats when vacuuming and occasionally vacuum under the beds. Can't complain about the price though. Good wifi, no sky. I happily stay again."
