The staff at Palm City Motel in Napier were very nice and very accommodating. Unfortunately the room we were in had an odd and unpleasant smell and the main room only had very bright ceiling lights. Not the most comfortable room.

Not worth the money
The receptionist was really nice, otherwise the room smelled like a funeral home, looked like it was built 50 years ago, a few bugs here and there and the bed was super uncomfortable. Positive points for extra blankets. I paid way too much money for what I got.
