This is a well-run outfit, and it shows: The whole site - indoors and out - is kept very neat and professional-looking. The stay was very good value and comfortable.
Check in was quick and easy. Unit was very clean and well appointed. Nice clean bathroom and good powerful shower. Good comfortable beds. Parking directly outside and facility very handy to City and all other areas we were visiting. Had stayed at Palm City Motor Inn twice previously in a smaller 3 bed unit but felt the 4 bed unit we had this time was a cut above. Would definitely stay again when visiting Napier.

Lovely stay, room was spotless and hotel is close to Town Centre and Marine Parade.
Receptionist was lovely and friendly. Such a lovely motel to stay the room was absolutely spotless clean, the bed was so comfortable to sleep on. We had a restful nights sleep. The motel is a short distance away from the city centre. The pool was nice and refreshing especially on a hot day. Highly recommend and shops, takeaways and bakery/cafe 1 min away from motel. Definitely would stay here again,, Thank You for a lovely stay.
All was good except travellers need a comfortable chair to rest in. Not dining chairs.
I believe an investmnt in some comfortable chairs would make units very good.

Good location, the fridge froze our food which was very frustrating and the shower pressure was low. I have stayed here a few times before and it was much better.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Couldn’t believe they would service the room on Christmas Day! Really appreciated and didn’t expect such service.
Room very spacious for our group of five adults. Very well equipped kitchen. Plenty of plunger coffee :) appreciated the freestanding fans and AC in the hot weather. Not the most modern motel you’ll stay at but their service and plenty of extras makes it very worthwhile to stay here. Will stay again when in Napier. Thanks so much.
No fuss late check in. Felt safe. Very clean. Everything you need. Great option as had a hire car, so easy to park and short walk to centre.

It was nice and clean but I booked it for the spa bath which didn’t work and looked like it hadn’t worked for a long time

The staff at Palm City Motel in Napier were very nice and very accommodating. Unfortunately the room we were in had an odd and unpleasant smell and the main room only had very bright ceiling lights. Not the most comfortable room.
