💼 Your office might be in another city, but that doesn't mean your accommodation should feel unfamiliar.

When you're travelling for work, the little things matter.

A comfortable bed after a long day. Somewhere quiet to catch up on emails. Easy parking. A relaxing spa bath. And a friendly welcome from someone who remembers you.

At City Corporate Motor Inn, we're proud to offer something a little different from the big hotels.

Corporate travel, personally looked after. 💙

Whether you're visiting Palmerston North for one night or returning regularly throughout the year, we'd love to make your stay feel like coming back to somewhere familiar.

🏆✨ What a fantastic night celebrating Manawatū business excellence!

A huge congratulations to all the winners and finalists at the 2026 Yorb Manawatū Business Awards! 🎉

It's wonderful to see so many incredible businesses and individuals recognised for their hard work, innovation and contribution to our region.

Here at City Corporate Motor Inn, we were delighted to welcome some of those attending the celebrations, including Professor Jonathan Elms, Pro Vice-Chancellor of Massey Business School, who refers to City Corporate as his home away from home. 💙

And that's exactly the kind of experience we love creating for our guests! Whether you're visiting Palmerston North regularly for business or coming to town for a special occasion, we want you to feel comfortable, welcome and genuinely looked after.

A big congratulations also to the Manawatū Business Chamber for organising such a spectacular evening!

To everyone who celebrated on Friday night, we hope you had a wonderful time. It was a pleasure to be a small part of your special weekend! 🥂

Big enough to have everything you need, small enough to know your name.

☀️ October... done!

And suddenly we're heading into November.

That means wedding season, end-of-year functions, graduations, Christmas get-togethers, summer road trips and a whole lot more visitors heading to Palmy.

Our diary is already starting to tell us that the busy season is coming!

If you know you'll need accommodation over the next few months, now is the time to get organised — particularly if you're travelling for a major event.

📞 Book direct with Ruby on 06 355 4522

And to everyone who stayed with us during October — thank you for choosing City Corporate. 💙

🎃 Things that are scary...
👻 Ghosts
🕷️ Spiders
😱 Realising you haven't booked your accommodation for that big Palmy event yet.

With graduations, weddings, Christmas functions, sporting events and summer travel all coming up, that last one might actually be the scariest. 😂

Don't leave it until the last minute.

If you know you're coming to Palmerston North, give Ruby a call and get your room sorted.

Then you can go back to worrying about the ghosts. 👻

💐💙 Feeling very loved at City Corporate lately!

We've been absolutely spoilt with beautiful flowers from our lovely guests recently, and Ruby and the team are feeling rather special! 🥰🌸

Usually, we're the ones trying to make our guests feel welcome, comfortable and cared for, so it's incredibly touching when they turn around and surprise us with such thoughtful gestures.

From gorgeous bouquets to little notes and unexpected gifts, it's a lovely reminder of the friendships we've built with the people who stay with us.

Some of our guests have been returning for years, and somewhere along the way, they've become much more than just guests. 💕

A huge thank you to everyone who has brightened our days (and our reception!) with flowers lately.

We must be doing something right! 😉💐

It's moments like these that make running City Corporate Motor Inn so rewarding.

💙 Sometimes the smallest gestures mean the most.

One of the loveliest things about running City Corporate Motor Inn is the friendships we build with our regular guests.

Today, Ruby received a handwritten thank you note from one of our wonderful returning guests, Rebecca Izzard, who is part of Massey Business School and has recently been elected to Massey University's Council. 🎉

To celebrate Rebecca's exciting news, Ruby surprised her with a little gift of a face mask — something to help her relax and enjoy a bit of pampering!

But there's an even sweeter side to this story. 🥰

Whenever Rebecca checks in, she always makes time to chat with Ruby's two boys, David and Daniel. Over the years, they've become her little friends, and the boys always enjoy catching up with her when she visits.

It's these little connections that make City Corporate so special.

Our guests aren't just room numbers. They're familiar faces, friends and people whose milestones we love celebrating.

Congratulations again, Rebecca, on your election to the University Council! We're delighted for you, and thank you for your lovely handwritten note and for always making time for your two little mates. 💙

At City Corporate, hospitality isn't just about providing a lovely place to stay. It's about making people feel part of the family.

Big enough to have everything you need, small enough to know your name.

🏨 Does your business regularly send people to Palmerston North?

Finding accommodation shouldn't become another job on the to-do list.
City Corporate has extensive experience looking after corporate travellers, from individual business guests through to organisations regularly bringing people into the region.

And because we're boutique, we can offer something a little different — personal, flexible service from people who actually know the property and their guests.

If your team regularly travels to Palmy, talk to Ruby about your accommodation requirements.

Sometimes the easiest booking arrangement starts with a conversation.

📚💙 Some guests leave reviews. Others send flowers. And sometimes… a book arrives in the post!

One of the loveliest parts of running City Corporate Motor Inn is the friendships we build with guests who return year after year.

Last year, one of our wonderful overseas corporate guests surprised Ruby and Cecilia with flowers. 🌸

This year, he went to the trouble of visiting several bookshops in Palmerston North, searching for a copy of George Orwell's Animal Farm to give Ruby.

Unfortunately, none of the shops had it in stock, but that didn't stop him from sending Ruby a thoughtful book gift afterwards! 📖😊

And when the parcel arrived, two cheeky little monkeys (otherwise known as Ruby's kids!) couldn't wait to get their hands on it and see what was inside! 🐒🐒😂

It's moments like these that remind us hospitality is about so much more than providing somewhere to stay.

Our regular guests become familiar faces, conversations pick up where they left off, and genuine friendships develop along the way.

We often talk about making our guests feel special, but sometimes our guests have a wonderful way of making us feel special too. 💙

Thank you for such a thoughtful surprise. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon!

Big enough to have everything you need, small enough to know your name.

😴 Monday... but make it a public holiday.

Now this is the kind of Monday we can get behind. 😂

No rush-hour commute.

No Monday meeting.

No overflowing inbox.

Just one more day to enjoy the long weekend.

To everyone visiting Palmerston North, travelling home today or squeezing every last minute out of the break — enjoy it!

And please travel safely.

From Ruby and the team at City Corporate Motor Inn. 💙

22/10/2026

🚗☀️ The long weekend has arrived!

Three glorious days with no need to set the Monday alarm. 🙌

If you're heading to Palmerston North this Labour Weekend, welcome to Palmy!

Take your time. Explore the city. Catch up with family and friends. Enjoy a long lunch, discover somewhere new or simply make the most of having an extra day to relax.

And if you're staying with us, come back at the end of the day, kick off your shoes and make yourself at home.

Have a safe and wonderful Labour Weekend from Ruby and the team. 💙
