SEVERELY RESTRICTS WIFI DATA
if you have to stay at this hotel, request a room with a view of the church. Also, the hotel was clean and had nice shampoo.
In the 2 weeks that we spent traveling throughout NZ, we have had wonderful accommodations with the Rutherford being the exception. This hotel does not belong in the luxury category, although by the decor and age of the bedspread (yes, I said bedspread) and bed linens perhaps it once was. The lobby is stale and lifeless even in high season. Customer service was poor. And the very worst part, THEY RATION WIFI DATA!! Good luck browsing the internet to plan your activities, email friends and family back home or share your photos on social media!!

Proximity to city centre. Room facilities. Helpful staff in breakfast room. Availability of parking.
Large fee for late checkout. Glass shower screens leak causing water to pool on bathroom floor.

I liked our dinner at Miyazu Teppan Yaki Restaurant. Our Chef was from Phillipines (Alvin?) (sorry I can't recall his name) but he was really friendly and gave us a great experience.

The complimentary dressing gowns.
Poor quality buffet breakfast. One view was enough to move us to other providers close by in town.

Reviews about Rutherford Hotel Nelson
“The Rutherford is in a prime position in Nelson, close to everything and one can walk to most things. This is one of its major pluses - especially as one can nip back during the day! The staff are friendly and helpful and and know the city well.”
“Breakfast buffet very good, though it should be clearer what food is allowed on what plan. ON my final day I was charged $10 for one breakfast and $15 for the other, apparently because I ate a danish pastry. Rooms very quiet and spacious. Lots of pillows, air conditioning, very comfortable.”
