The Hotel Nelson
I only stayed one night, arrived late and then found my VISA card was still not working... honestly the reception & restaurant staff could not have been more understanding and helpful. All was sorted and for just one nights stay I was treated like a VIP!!

Grand Arden Monaco Nelson
A bit dated and shabby. The shower was mouldy the sink cracked and generally poor.

Tides Hotel
room was clean and spacious. Charging 15 dollars for motel parking seemed odd-just add the cost into the room. Breakfast was adequate-but not great. Good location-hip vibe-the decorating was well done
