Had a comfortable two night stay at this small motel. The room was quite spacious, and the beds and couch was comfortable. The shower had good pressure and worked well. The hosts provided 2 heaters to make sure the room was warm, and pre-heated the room prior to arrival. The decor of the motel is a little dated, but everything was clean and in good condition. The motel is well located, being a very short walk from the main square. The motel was reasonably priced. The managers were friendly and welcoming.

Good basic room in a great location. Great service from the owners. Hot water for showers was a bit in short supply in our room, it helped to shower at different times.

Despite some friendly hosts and a very central location, our stay here made us glad we were only staying one night in Martinborough. The dirty carpet, lack of WiFi (which is as advertised to be fair) and numerous bug sightings makes the Motel feel very outdated and quite uncomfortable. Also, while of course not the Motel’s fault, the fire station across the road blaring a siren in the middle of the night like the Blitz is raining down on you made our night less than ideal. While I understand the stay is cheap for the area, compared to what we have received across the country for the same price we were disappointed, and I would recommend paying a bit extra for some of the beautiful other stays in Martinborough. The cheap price and location is the only thing saving this from a one star review.

The biggest issue is the room booked was NOTHING like what Expedia sold me. The owner did ring me to advise - alarm bells right there. Overall clean & tidy, the carpet was yuck and small double bed sofe & lumpy. Really dated overall could do with a freshen up. End of day you get what you pay for. Was v glad when the morning arrived and we could leave.

Colin and Gail are very friendly and helpful and the rooms are warm and comfortable, but could do with an update. A new bed and sofa would add value to this property. However, for the price and location, which allows easy walking to anywherw in town, this property is hard to beat.
