Spacious room with most everything we needed for a quick overnight stay along our journey. Despite this being an older hotel we found the space very clean, the beds comfortable and the shower great.

Perfect for what we needed and bed was very comfortable. The staff at checking in was very nice and helpful. The only reason for not 5 stars was the fire alarm in our room kept going off from 12.45am till 6am and we couldnt stop it so had interrupted sleep.

The motor lodge was unclean, dirty windows, dirty and worn carpet, filthy staircase and skirtings. My room - windows had mould on them, only wall plug to use was on a wall across from bed. Terrible wifi - kept disconnecting. The shower had shampoo and conditioner, but the shampoo bottle was nearly empty, and for body wash - it was only a tiny bar of soap. Will never stay here again.
