Fitzherbert Castle Motel
"The Young son of the proprietor was fantastic, couldn’t be any more helpful. Although it was right in downtown Palmerston, easy walking distance to the Square, it was Quiet, and the bed was fantastic and it was Clean. There were enough blankets to suit even me. I will be staying there every time ..."
