The staff at the front desk were pleasant and informed us of the laundry facilities on the 3rd floor we could use ($4 to run the washer and dryer each). It's really was a good place to stay and I would stay here again. My only complaint is that the parking lot is too small and we had to park on the street.

Big room, a couple of nice chairs, prep sink and counter area, big bathroom with thin towels. Our room overlooked the car park so we worried about sleep. But, it was really a very quiet hotel.

For $79 pp we purchased a wine tour wristband @ were given a map.. Vans stopped at 26 wineries &…read moreliquor themed venues. Vans came every :30. It took :20 minutes to get to Blenheim for our first winery. A wine museum, gift shop, gin distillery, confectionery, vine village, beer garden ... we drove through magnificent wine country with rolling hills, sheep & of course vineyards. Our driver was knowledgeable sharing info about the area, wines & stops. There were people running to the van @ he was frequently running late. We had time to stop at two wineries for :30 and one for an hour lunch. At the end of the day they checked that everyone made it back to the port. We were told that we shouldn't have an issue getting lunch at any stop. We wouldn't need reservations today. However, there were cruise ships tours & Viacor tours that tied up many kitchens & wine tastings. We would have like to make more stops.

We were picked up in a great coach at the port (shore excursion) and taken to several wineries in Blenheim and the Marlborough area. We had an amazing lunch and tasting at one local vineyard they put together for us. Additionally, we had many great tastings throughout the day, learned about New Zealand's wine making industry and living in this beautiful part of the country. Cam made this visit so personal and tailored it to our group. We met with winemakers and a local brewmaster. If you go to wine country, Hop n Grape will not disappoint. It was one of the highlights of our trip to New Zealand

My experience at the Blenheim Palms was fantastic. I almost stayed somewhere else and am very…read morethankful I did not. Check in was so fast and so friendly, and the friendliness remained throughout. I had a one bedroom (not studio) which is a slight up charge but highly recommended. Having seen smaller rooms, the upgrade is worth it. I had a living room with recline sofa, kitchen with everything but an oven (including fridge and microwave), very nice restroom, and a roomy bedroom. Everything was truly spotless. The location is ideal - 10 minutes drive, at most, from the airport. A very short walk to both downtown (restaurants, bars) and a nice supermarket (with a decent wine selection). Also near parks and the path along the river, which is good for running or walking. Wifi is free, which is rare in this area. That's honestly why I chose this hotel. It isn't the fastest, but for $0...it's pretty good. All future stays in Blenheim will be here!
