I was in Palmerston North for about 5 weeks, from late May until late June. I was traveling for work at Massey University, where I served as a temporary faculty for the summer, and I could not have had better accommodations. The Esplanade motel exceeded my expectations in every possible manner. The owners are absolutely lovely people, and made me feel at home for the entirety of my stay. I don't particularly enjoy traveling for as long as I did (5-6 weeks), but I could not have been made more comfortable during my time in PN. I was provided with fantastic venison burgers & ceviche by the owners, and they were extremely flexible with charging during my time, especially considering I was at their property for over a month. I will be back in PN later this year, and I already know 100% where I'll be staying- I wouldn't consider staying at any other property after my experience, which was again, absolutely top notch. I can't wait to get back and see the owners again- I highly recommend anyone traveling to PN, especially those who will be working at Massey (barely a mile to the campus), to stay at the Esplanade.
The only downside to my stay was that I was 16 hours ahead of the US, so the NBA finals were on at inopportune times. I had no bad experiences directly related with my stay at the Esplanade- the staff were lovely, the room was clean and I was provided with fresh linens multiple times a week. I can't complain about any part of my stay at the Esplanade, and highly recommend it to anyone looking for accommodations in Palmerston North.

Fantastic place for the price I paid. It was quiet and comfy there. The view wasn't great but not hard to get out and explore. The spa bath was pristine and the room was large

Amazingly relatable interpersonal owner/staff, felt like we could approach them about anything.
Nice comfortable environment and accomodation.
Unfortunate not to give the spa bath ago!
Lots of utilities included, fridge, kettle, microwave.
Neighbours were only partially loud but not to fault of accomodation, only loud if windows of both parties are open, through wall noise bleed is honestly not very bad.
Didn't fully understand the deal with using the pull out couch but didn't ask staff about it, assume they don't want people breaking it by not knowing how to set it up. So made do without it.

The room was way too hot. No air-conditioning. The one fan in the bedroom was full of dust and not able to be put on. Mould in bathroom around bath, and on sheer curtains on room and.licinig area.

Parking out front. Reception was pleasant.
Of all the places we stayed in NZ, this was our only disappointment. We did not feel comfortable here. The kitchen table was dirty and dusty. The sofa covering was not very clean. The furniture was outdated.
