What guests think

Across recent reviews, The Swiss Motel is described as a basic, budget stopover with dated facilities and limited in-room amenities, alongside occasional maintenance, security, and parking issues that can affect comfort and convenience for some travelers.

Many guests find the rooms clean enough for short stays, though some report run-down bathrooms, missing basics like chairs, tableware, or bedside lighting, and inconsistent Wi-Fi or hot water. Staff are frequently praised as friendly and helpful, and heating and electric blankets keep rooms warm in cold weather. Location is considered okay to convenient, with easy walks to shops or town. Best suited to short, no-frills stays.

Gave management a week to reply to my concerns of our stay but never responded. Listing pictures did not match the unit, other guests not declaring total staying leading to over full car parking tor other guests, management gave nothing to say except thinking the parking is being used by offsite people. Room warm warm on entry but all other aspects just makes the stay a joke.

Very comfortable bed, very clean sheets and large towels. Only teaspoon and cup but no plates and cutlery which made it difficult to use the microwave and toaster. The room has a heater, electric blanket was wonderful. I love reading but no bedside light only an overhead light. A small round table provided no chairs, at least one would be useful.

The overall appearance of the property was a little raw. Not the most inviting for a female travelling alone and felt a little unsafe as the door only had a pop lock( like a bathroom lock) Otherwise , it was dated but clean . Great for a cheap stay but for either multiple people or a male.

It’s not bad for a night stay with the family. Clean and have enough space to move around. It’s mainly a place to sleep and we had a comfortable night. Heater was already on when we arrive and room has a good scent. There were spare warm blankets in the cabinet which we didn’t really need to use because of the heater. Toiletries also has a nice scent. Just that no spare toilet rolls and the one in stock is less than half. And no milk to go with the tea or coffee.

It's an older motel that is getting renovated. when I checked in I was greeted by Margaret who is absolutely gorgeous. Her first sentence to me was hello, I was getting worried about you! so sweet - as it was dark and late when I arrived. (and travelling as a female on her own can be daunting) The room was just the right size for me, the heater worked well and they had a new kettle, toaster and microwave in the room so that was a win. Electric blankets on the bed as well. As I said, it's older but getting done up. I would happily stay there again.

Basic. No table or chairs. Limited milk. No microwave but I should have checked first but usually standard even at budget stays. Nice and quiet. Better bed than most more expensive. No mention of wifi but had my own.

Tired worn out old motel. Uninviting, unappealing. No screen on window and it had no lock which meant room could not be left secure when we went for dinner or while we slept. I wish I read the reviews before I booked. Avoid.
