Bed was comfy with crisp linens, large bath towels. Needed an extra mirror other than the one in the bathroom. We asked for a power board or extension lead as my mums cpap sleep apnea machine couldn’t plug into power points as they are right at the bottom of the skirting boards. After some time I was notified via text message that they had found 2 & had left them on the table in our room which was helpful. Also a bedside table next to single bed would be a good addition. Overall enjoyable stay in a convenient location.

Location is really the only thing going for this Motel. It’s old and tired. Room 21 needed towels over the window to stop the light from the stairs keeping us awake. Blinds didn’t close properly. We had 1 coffee cup. The bathroom was from the 70’s. As was my bed I think. For the price you pay I’d expect more. Definitely not worth the price tag. Staff were great though and it was close to the function we were attending.

The location is great for the theatre and cafes/restaurants. The room was nice and clean and the complimentary tea/coffee etc was appreciated. Although the room themselves are getting dated, e.g. the blind did not close probably.

The bed was comfortable, room clean and area was quiet. Added bonus of complimentary cereals, tea, coffee, milk and biscuits. Only thing needed was block out curtains as a lot of light did come through the blinds. Overall a good motel for an affordable price.
