Rooms were clean, tidy and modern. Nice hot shower, with nice towels and shower cap provided. Good selection of teas n coffee. Staff were friendly and helpful. Although wouldn’t let us stay 30min longer in morning, which was abit of a disappointment as my daughter was really tired, as we had been to a concert the night b4.

Unfortunately, on checking in, we found that the room we had booked was supposed to have a spa bath, as shown in photos. However, staff was very courteous and offered to swap the room subject to our inspection. Took the room with spa bath, but it was not a good bath. Pressure very low. Also, the carton of milk in the fridge had been opened. Otherwise, clean & tidy.

Clean and well equiped rooms, friendly owners, quiet location. Loved how they had extra fleece blankets, as most hotels only have very thin blankets. Very convenient location with amazing restaurants across the street. Will book again!

The unit was excellent but the when we arrived and I asked if he wanted the Expedia booking reference he rambled on about ‘fat cats in America’ taking money offshore and that it’s better to look up the price on there and then to call the motel direct (to cut out the middle man). Was unimpressed to be lecture us like this? if you want to advertise on their platform accept get they take a commission and don’t try to circumvent the process that brought the customer to you.
