Staff and other guests were really friendly. The shared continental breakfast in the breakfast room was really handy and a nice way to start the day. The motel is in an interesting setting in the Port, and we were lucky enough to have an upstairs balcony with a view out over the water. While the outside of building tired, the room was beautifully done up. The restaurant/bar next door had nice food and friendly staff. Very enjoyable stay, thank you.

Good place to stay while in Nelson. Short walk into town. There is a restaurant about 50m from the motel. The motel also has breakfast in the morning. Basic but fills the void. The staff were great at check in, and through out the stay. The property backs on the the port but that wasn't an issue..

We had a great stay at the Harbourside Lodge. Our room was spacious and clean. The king bed was very comfortable. It was a 15 minute walk to downtown Nelson which didn’t bother us as the view of the marina was beautiful. The price of the room included a nice breakfast. We highly recommend this hotel.
