Top hotels in West End

Copthorne Hotel Palmerston North
It would have been good to have two chairs in the room

Fitzherbert Castle Motel
The space was great,all we needed,and surprisingly quite being so close to a main road . Very central to the town and all amenities, however the room could do with some cosmetic fixing up .And dish liquid would also be helpful for washing up the dishes provided, especially on extended stays.
