We only need an overnight spot, so I picked something inexpensive, with decent reviews and - Wow! What a lovely place it turned out to be, with a comfortable bed, a handy little kitchen (fridge, microwave, hotpot, toaster, bread, milk, jam), nice shower stall that's more than tall enough for a six-footer, lovely windowseat, and room-darkening curtains. There was a tiny bit of road noise, but not enough to disturb us. And it was convenient for our visit to Omaka Aviation Museum, Makana Chocolate Factory, and Dodson Street Beer Garden. I also noticed a racetrack (horses) nearby. If we get more time to visit Blenheim, I'd be delighted to stay there again!
