Good check in experience. Easy to find location and owner did not mind me having an extra 10 minutes to check out so I could shower after my Park run. great

Nothing really. All good

Excellent value for money, clean, comfortable and thoroughly enjoyable

9.0

The motel we stayed in was exceptional value for money. The staff were polite and helpful and all 6 of us plus the dog had a lovely stay. We would book it again

Minor thing - we booked for 6 and they only provided 5 chairs for the table. We could have easily requested a further chair (and set of cutlery) but discovered we did not need it in the end
