Convenient location for our weekend in Cowes. Very large king sized bed, but firmer than we would have liked. Door to the bathroom did not shut - sliding door did not have a latch and kept falling half open. Good heating in the unit and also good water pressure in shower.

Decent motel. Cold bathrooms as there’s no heating inside. General areas are clean but do no look behind curtains and bed… Still, for the price it’s good value for money

The best thing about this property is that the king bed was super comfortable! Even struck up a conversation with our neighbouring guests how comfortable all our beds were! Cosy blankets. Plush pillows. The room itself was very spacious, with 2 very comfy lean-back armchairs, a small dining table, and a window that let the sun in to warm up the room for us. Aircon/heater warmed up the room quickly when required. Bathroom looks a little dated but works a treat, with lots of bench space, tissues, hair-dryer and toiletries provided. Small kitchenette but had main necessities, like microwave, sizable fridge, kettle and complimentary tea/coffee/sugar. Parking easy and short walk or 3 min deive to the main street for shops/food. Only note, the deluxe king suite is up a flight of stairs, so beware if luggage is heavy or cumbersome. No issue to us though. Would stay again!
