This is a fantastic motor inn and motel in Palmerston North. I stayed here for 6 nights in late November 2024. The first three nights were for a work conference and the second lot of three nights were a Sunday and few days of annual leave that I spent to catch up with friends who live locally, or were visiting at the same time. A relatively new motel, it had many features normally associated with boutique hotels, especially the massive, luxurious spa bath, which was the size of a small spa pool, but with clean water that could be filled and emptied like a regular bathtub. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and warm and there was a multi channel TV, including major streaming services. There were also good quality sofas and chairs. The room had a small kitchenette which could be used to make basic meals, including breakfast. There's self-service laundry available, which was handy given the length of my stay. Palmerston North is quite spread out, and distances seem longer than they are, but this motel was an easy 20-25 minute walk to The Square and nearby shops, supermarkets, restaurants and cafes. There are also frequent buses running along Fitzherbert Avenue, including one direct to and from the airport for a good price (NZ$2 if you have a BeeCard, only slightly more if paying cash, at time of travel in November 2024). Most guests here appeared to have a car (I didn't), with the drive into the Square only around 5 minutes, if that. The motel is well located for connections to Massey University, which is where the conference I participated in was held. The owner/manager was great, really helpful and welcoming as were the staff. City Corporate Motor Inn is well recommended for both short and long stays. I would definitely stay again.

Bang for your Buck Very clean and well presented room. Warm and comfortable Spa bath is massive Quieter place just out of city but walking distance
