The Esplanade Motel & Conference Centre is a motel and conference venue at 305 Fitzherbert Avenue in West End, Palmerston North. It has a 4.2 rating from 166 Google reviews. The directory lists it as a swimming pool, but its listing and website describe a motel, so it is written that way here.
Its website says the motel is close to Massey University and the Fonterra Research Centre, and it offers wi-fi and guest laundry. The motel is opposite Esplanade Park, with its rose gardens, aviaries and playground, and a short walk from the Manawatū River walkway. The site also offers conference facilities.
