The Hotel Nelson

The Hotel Nelson

8/10 Good

"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."
