Things are clean, the only problem is that there is no exhaust fan in the toilet, but overall it feels good.

Perfectly good stay Really lovely and helpful service. They were quick to find a better single bed when we asked as the original was soooooo soft it bent in half. Nowhere to hang towels but they quickly ensured we had clean ones each day to compromise. Good amenities but tired (remote control batteries held in with tape, cupboard door’s that don’t shut). Very handy location. Overall, it was about right for the price we paid.

The toilet was not attached firmly to the ground, floor dirty, our feet were blackened. The shower was good and the bed very good.

Reasonable price for an older motel with some modern features such as new flooring. Good appliances in kitchen area. Good heating from the main area heatpump. Bathroom cold and no heating but great hotwater and shower pressure. Some of the electrics, eg power point for tv, looked a bit unsafe. King bed mattress firm and comfortable.

Property is very dated. Although clean. And staff were friendly. Convenient easy walk to the town centre. It is a busy roundabout so some vehicle noise. Overall good experience for the price.
