What guests think

Rooms are comfortable and warm, though some guests missed Sky TV, wished for spare blankets or bathroom shelving, and a few found kitchenware or fittings basic. While cleanliness is widely praised, a couple of reviews noted minor lapses, and there was one report of a booking not being honoured. Overall, expect a tidy, practical base for short stays.

This motel is very well run. Friendly, helpful and accommodating owners. They upgraded my booking as a kind gesture. It is spotlessly clean and quiet. Close to buses, shopping, restaurants and everything you need. I would definitely recommend this motel to others.

There was no tv channels other than Freeview. I booked that motel as the pro-mo said that there was Sky with 50 plus channels. (See the yellow part of the signage in the image above)

Extremely disappointed with my experience here. I booked and fully paid for a room, only to arrive and be told my booking was not in their system. Despite showing my confirmation, the staff insisted they had no available rooms and offered no solution, leaving me stranded and scrambling for last-minute accommodation. To make matters worse, when I later reported this case to booking platform, they claimed they had reached out to the motel to request a refund, but the motel refused. This completely contradicts what the staff told me on the night—that the booking or payment never reached them. So, either the motel misled me at check-in, or they are now refusing to take responsibility. Would not recommend. Avoid this place at all costs.

Person who greeting us was lovely she had upgraded our room at no extra cost as we had 1 child with us and gave us a 1 bedroom appartment instead of a studio room. She showed us to your room and told us off the ammenties of the room. Very lovely and friendly would stay here again.
