Paula

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The motel is a bit run down and doesnt look like much from the outside. But the room is large with plwnty of space, balcony, couch, table and chairs, desk and kitchenette. The room walls are very thin and unfortunately we had some very inconsiderate neighbours which let the stay down. The water pressure wasnt great but the toiletries supplied were nice. Walking distance to supermarket and eateries.

Ideal for my needs

I asked to change the booking to 1 person on arrival, due to friend cancelling, but this was kindly done. Friendly staff. The spa bath was great after a long flight and days of walking. Close to hospital and hospice, & conveniently placed to easily get into the city using the frequent buses from Smales Farm (5 mins walk), although its position means a lot of traffic noise. It took a while to get the best wifi on 2nd floor. All davilities as described.

Rochelle

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location and size of the room was perfect for a one night stay for a family of five. What was rude was being called after being stuck in traffic saying they were going to close if we didn’t check in by a set time. The. They weren’t even there at check out. Also, milk in fridge was off by a month. Pays to check the small things. No breakfast for the kids as a result.
