Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Comfortable room, noisy neighbours
A convenient place to stay for the Brit & Euro Car Show, just a 20 minute walk away. Having read some decidedly avearge reviews, I was pleasantly surprised by how good the studio room looked on arrival. It looked freshly decorated and modern in the bed/sitting area. The kitchen and bathroom/toilet were rather dated but perfectly adequate. Despite being on the main road, traffic noise was not intrusive - the studio was at the far end of the site from the road. Unfortunately I had a very noisy group of people in the neighbouring unit, they stopped at 11pm but started uo again in the small hours. This is not enough to put me off staying again the next time I'm in the area though. The nearest cafes and the supermarket were about a 10 to 15 minute walk away.

I havent been to this hotel in a while as it is often booked up well in advance but had the opportunity to stay there again for a couple of nights. And was delighted to see they have spent time and money on giving it a revamp in the rooms which are an absolute delight now . the fresh new duvets , the new curtains and carpet abd even new beds ! pooja has a way also wth making the customer feel relaxed and looked after whilst remaining professional . I will be back it gets a 10/10 from me !

Mostly clean, very dated and noisy.
I expected the motel to be pretty average, given the price. However, the age was older than it looks in the photos, especially the stove, and bathroom. While on first inspection it appeared to be mostly clean, when you started to look closer, it had only been given a cursory clean. There was rubbish still under the beds, and it was very grimy around the stove. Added to this, we had the Police knock on our door the first night, as they'd had a 111 call they couldn't track. The second night, there was a drunk man shouting abuse and banging on cars at 4:39 am in the carpark. It felt very unsafe staying here with those 2 events. When we asked the staff about it the next day, they knew nothing, but said they would check the security cameras. No idea if they ever did. Even without this drama - it was very noisy with road traffic, and we found it very hard to sleep. The bathroom is upstairs, and the stairs are very narrow, tight and we didn't feel as if they were safe to climb up and down at night. This would not be a suitable place to stay for disabled or elderly people. The couch was so old we didn't dare sit on it. The Positives: The private courtyard was quite nice. The manager was friendly and welcoming. If you're on a budget, and not too worried about cleanliness, and you are physically able to navigate the stairs to get to the bathroom, then stay at your own risk. Just make sure you bring ear plugs and a sleeping mask.
