What guests think

At Meadow Inn Hotel-Motel, travellers report basic, budget-friendly rooms in a very convenient location near the airport and shops, generally friendly staff, and significant traffic noise from the busy intersection.

Rooms are dated and show maintenance wear, with occasional issues like poor lighting, limited power points, temperamental heating or showers, and inconsistent TV or internet, though several guests found the beds comfortable. Cleanliness is mixed: many mention clean rooms and fresh linen, while others note dust, mouldy grout, musty or cigarette smells, and the need for a deeper clean. The on-site bistro earns frequent praise for basic pub food at good prices. Best suited to travellers seeking a simple overnight base.

The road is discusting for access to rooms and reception. The walls in the room near the front door had water leakage causing bubbles to form on the wall.Thick dust along wall behind bed. The bed itself was comfortable. The bathroom amenities were okay.

We were there only the night and it was fine. For us it was a sleep while in transit so it didn't matter that it was not modern. But it was clean and at times there was a bit of traffic noise, but that's to be expected in this area. If we are passing again, at their reasonable price, we would stay again. We also appreciated the fact we could collect the key way past closing hours.

Was fine for the one night needed so we could get to the airport early in the morning. No remote in the room to adjust the heating unless you climbed on a chair - room was freezing as you could feel the cold coming in around the door. Shower ran hot and cold constantly with minimal pressure. Random hairs on the bathroom door and sheets had dirt that you could pick off. Stairs to the 1st floor were dark as the lights were not turned on until late. Road noise was horrific and made it hard to sleep, Reception was empty when we arrived and it took 20 mins or so to be checked in. Needed a mobile number to call or a bell or something so we didn't have to search for a staff member. Staff really friendly when we eventually checked in. If you are looking for a bed within 15 minutes of the airport then it is fine, but I personally wouldn't return.

The staff are excellent but the site is noisy which you would expect given the location. The shower grout had mould stains. The bedding was clean and fresh but the thing that bothered me the most was the lack of power points on the wall behind the bed. I wanted to charge my phone while using it as an alarm as there was no alarm clock. There were no lamps so once I’d finished reading in bed I had to get out of bed to turn off the light which rendered the room pitch black- great for sleeping but not for walking around in the night.

When you are told one of the facilities is a tv and you call the main office to request batteries for the remote as they were none in there to switch on the tv you’d hope they would accommodate your request. But no one came with batteries so it was a quiet stay with no tv. As accommodation you should make sure the basics are working.
