I've stayed at this location many years ago and always found it great. Booked 2 rooms for elderly relatives travelling with me. We had major problems with the Ferry sailings after a cancellation and not going to make it by 5pm as originally planned. They arranged to leave keys in the rooms, milk in the fridges, and lights on for when we arrived. They also let us have a late check out in advance and went out of their way to accommodate us. Beds were fantastic and great sleeps after the late arrival

First of all, thank you for the lovely receptionist who was very helpful and made our stay more enjoyable. The studio we had is huge and fits a family easily. There is room to move around and to have our belongings stored properly. It is very central and within a short walk to the stream. Plenty of carpark and easy reach.

I didn't cook but the warning about the smoke would worry me. There is no range hood so I guess it could happen very easily. The bathroom and toilet doors are not lockable.

The room was clean and neat and felt cosy the minute I entered. I was offered fresh milk by the owner, which was a pleasant gesture, and nothing was a problem for them. They helped me out with directions to wineries, restaurants, and other places I wanted to go. When I had a mishap with the rental car, they stepped in and helped me no end. The location is fabulous, the room is well fitted with everything you need. It was perfect.

Nothing

Very clean. Comfortable.

Had to pay by cash because of ridiculous credit card surcharge - even on a debit card which was accepted elsewhere in New Zealand without this surcharge. Ground floor location with full height windows and no privacy unless curtains drawn. Basic level of equipment. Good location for centre of Blenheim but we found Blenheim to be dead. Very disappointing. This may not be the fault of Lugano Motor Lodge but we would not stay there again nor could we recommend it.

Friendly and polite staff, great location close to the town centre and the room was spacious, clean and well equipped.

The light comes from a large front window and patio door, which makes the room really bridge and airy. But there is only a curtain and no net, so has to close the curtain quite early in the evening for privacy. So the addition of a curtain would be useful, but other than that, it was great.

Great location, within walking distance to cafes and restaurants, river and park walks. Very quiet at night. Very clean and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful, even doing a small load of washing for us for a minimal charge - much more convenient than the local laundromat.

I prefer a softer bed, but still slept fairly well.

What we were looking for was a convenient and well equipped hotel for a one night stay to visit some wineries and to see the sights of Blenheim. The manager was pleasant and very helpful. The room was spacious, with a small kitchen and roomy bathroom. I loved the chimes from the bells in the town square across the road and even enjoyed it when some of the locals loudly but briefly celebrated a football win in the surrounding streets. A bit of local colour! Most of the cellar doors were closed (lack of planning on our part) but we enjoyed our drive around the beautiful roads surrounding Blenheim. We spent 12 nights in NZ and Lugano Motor Lodge won the best bed competition. The Blenheim gardens were superb, well worth seeing!

The refrigerator in our room was a bit noisy, turning on and off in the night, but that is a common problem. Apart from that minor issue, we enjoyed our stay.

Staff very welcoming and also accommodated a late check out. Excellent location - close to town centre and easy walking distance to cafes, supermarket and restaurants. Wonderful view of Seymour Square and gardens. Lugano is also very close to the stunning riverbank walkway. We will stay here again on our next visit to Blenheim.

Very comfortable bed and great location. The clock tower only chimes until 10pm so that was awesome.

Didn't understand the TV as kept saying internet disconnected. We didn't get back to accommodation until 9.30pm and we were in upstairs until and there were no lights or sensor lights on.

Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Good location overlooking the park and handy for shops and restaurants. Lovely staff - really friendly and helpful, arranged late check in for us.

The hotel was perfect, but almost nothing was open in Blenheim 8pm Sunday, just Pizzahut and Woolworths.
