Cornwall Motor Lodge
Great spa experience, located on noisy intersection. Unit looked a bit tired

Copthorne Hotel Palmerston North
Kitchen and restaurant staff were definitely not attentive. No coffee until we told them, no toast bread until we told them, no milk until we told them etc. Not good considering the price. Seriously understaffed. I would never stay there again.
