CHANDRA MOHAN, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Immense gratitude to the staff / owners of this lovely motor lodge. Their kindness and compassion at an extremely stressful and heartbreaking time whilst having to visit my father in the hospital was very much appreciated. The room / facilities fulfilled all my needs and expectations. There is also a beautiful rose garden directly over the road from them, with seats to relax on and lawns to stretch out on whilst enjoying the fresh air in peaceful surroundings [despite not being far from the main road] I would not hesitate to stay there again, or recommend this to anyone needing to visit family / friends in the hospital. Thank you to all who made my stay so much easier, keep up the good work as I do appreciate how hard times are now for you all.

Loved the room layout. Having a seperate bedroom would be great for families - for us it was our walkin wardrobe😋 the main room with kitchenette was spacious and the cherry on the top was the yummy large spa bath.

A good place for a basic overnight stay. Very hot with no air con just individual fans. A mirror outside of the bathroom would be useful.

Overall, this property was good. Its definitely far-ish out of the middle of the city so you'll want to have options for driving. It was clean and staff was polite.

Very noisy due to other inconsiderate guests.
2-night trip

6/10 Good

The property was close to city centre. At time of our stay many guests were there and a lot shouting arguing and swearing which waa not nice especially with family and little kids. The facilities were pretty basic
3-night trip

6/10 Good

We regret that the facilities were not as good as we have experienced on past visits. In spite of the request for guests to clean after use (with a surcharge if not cleaned) the glassware was very dirty, and the electric jug did not work (it was replaced on our second day). It would appear the motel had been used as accommodation during the covid lock down which may account for the lower standard. Motel "rules" include request to "not intimidate other guests", a first in our years of travelling.
