Great location. The room was very clean and spacious. Very good quality hand wash and body wash, loved that there were make up remover wipes. The TV was nice and big, many motels only have the 32 inch size which is too small for me. Lastly the owners were just so lovely and friendly.

    Palmerston North seems to have everything people would need great shops / Parks / Cossie club/ the only thing drivers would find confusing is the One-way systems .. also car Parking costs seem to be on all streets within the main areas.

    We were in PN because of treatment at the hospital for recently diagnosed cancer. On discharge from the hospital we choose to go to the cafe Thyme and Fig. We spotted a car park right outside the cafe. Perfect as my wife had a catheter in tow and was wearing her pyjama bottoms. When we had hydrated we decided to head home to Greytown. You guessed it- we got a parking fine. I'm afraid that soured our stay in PN. We were frassled and never thought about a parking infringement. There are no parking meters in Greytown so it certainly wasn't on our radar. I'm astounded that the fine is $70. That is steep for pensioners.

    Palmerston North, known to other New Zealanders as 'Palmy'...

    Palmerston North, known to other New Zealanders as 'Palmy' in a mildly disparaging way, is a surprising inland city. One striking thing is that nearly every street is tree-lined, with a range of beautiful mature trees. (Would be nice if more of them were native species though). This is because the local council has undergrounded all the services. Parks are great. One has an impressive miniature railway which kids love to ride (even if their parents/grandparents look a bit overscaled!) Massey University is in a beautiful setting, like a botanical garden, with many interesting buildings. I was there on a site visit as architect of the two major bridges on the soon-to-open Te Ara a Turanga 4-lane highway, SH3, which reconnects Palmerston North with Wairarapa/Hawkes Bay, after the old highway through the Manawatu Gorge had to be abandoned in 2017. The bridges and the shared walking/cycling path over the Tararuas is sure to become another tourist attraction in itself.

    Palmerston North has no night life.

    Palmerston North has no night life. Climate is windy and cold but can get some nice autumn weather . Has some street beggers who can be threatening. The malls have great shopping but are spoiled by nasty youth gangs who want to beat you up if you don't have smokes for them. The Square is nice but again ruined by teenage thugs and boy racers. Stay away from The Square after sunset. Great art gallery.

    Still nice shopping in the Mall and surrounding streets.

    Still nice shopping in the Mall and surrounding streets. Love KMart being open until midnight. Some empty shops, but that is everywhere at present. Square still looking nice with gardens, mature trees, nice grass areas. Good restaurants, lots of variety. But they need to keep their prices as they are or face going bankrupt. They cannot just keep putting up meal prices. People just won't go out. The Rose & Crown are a good restaurant and bar. They've kept their prices fair. The steak house (name not given but they specialise in steaks in the square) with the best steaks is just too expesive for ordinary people to eat there. Wonder if they'll last much longer... Other bars and eateries are all pretty good. Usually go for a walk along the riverside which is always nice. Didn't have time on this visit. Enjoyed the visit overall.

    I was there to catch up with family and we spent a lot of our time at the Esplanade, as the weather was great and we could participate in the activities and walk around the gardens etc. Cafe was great, mini golf and train etc.

    Loved the quality of the room! It was lovely being upstairs and having a balcony. The spa bath didn't disappoint, and the room size was great, not to mention a massive big TV directly in front of the bed, which was perfect! The place was clean with also a nice coffee machine, bath robes in the drawer and other bits and pieces you need. I had previously stayed at a different hotel the night before, which was called Palmerston North motel, and it was absolutely terrible! But this place did not disappoint 👏 🙌

    The room we stayed in was warm, cosy and clean. Perfect location, central to shops Cafes. The spa bath was the amazing, lovely to come back to after a full day of adventures. I will recommend the Hacienda Motel Lodge to my family and friends and I’d come back to Palmerston North, I will definitely be booking here again.

    Harringtons is a little further out of the main city centre than the other motels along Fitzherbert Avenue. A quick trip in a car isn't a problem though.
