Lovely stay - the pool was great and the motel within easy walking distance to a good range of eateries. The room was clean, well-appointed and dark for sleeping. Would have been good to have seats outside the room after a day of driving. Would definitely stay again.

Staff were so friendly and helpful. Made it a pleasure. This might sound silly, but in much more salubrious places we’ve stayed, there is only one chair. The Matador had two around the table, plus one at the desk! Too easy. One of us didn’t have to perch on the bed. Could do with a bit of a freshing up with paint work here and there but the bathroom and toiletries were super. Including “Who Gives A Crap” loo roll!!

Reasonably priced hotel for a layover in Sale for family of 4. Staff were very friendly, continental breakfast was included ....new nespresso machine and generous spread of food. The hotel is a bit dated, but everything was reasonably clean. I will stay here again.

Really impressed with the accommodation. The Matador has been part of Sale for many years and the current owners are providing a high standard. It’s clean, comfortable and very convenient to the theatre and great eating venues. Staff couldn’t have been nicer and the complimentary breakfast was excellent.
