The room was quite modern but is on a busy road so alot of night noise (no double glazing), room got light early - no curtain/blind on back door. Bed pillows also not great. Strangely there was no couch in the room - missed that. No place to sit relax / watch tv.

This was an OK place to stay. However, they used a photo that is not the accommodations, featuring a lovely Italian style villa. If you have never been there and assume a place cannot put fake photos on the Hotels.com website..... you would be mistaken here. This place look nothing like the photo.

I booked this property for my mum who was travelling alone. She thoroughly enjoyed the room she was allocated. On arrival the room was warm and a light had been left on for her as she arrived late. The bed was comfortable and the staff took good care of her as she navigated getting backwards and forwards to the hospital.

Good stay close to Hospital

Check in welcoming. Room aired and ready for me. A small milk in the fridge and obligatory soap, bath wash, shampoo/conditioner, make up wipes and body balm on display for use. A container of coffee ( instant and plunger)2 tea types, hot chocolate, sugar sachets and 2 cookie pack. Kitchen well supplied even salt and pepper condiments. All that is needed for your stay. Shower had great pressure, floor a little slippery even with the wet floor mat. Glossy bathroom tiles seem to be prevalent in motels. I would prefer to see a non slip tile. Bed excellent with quality linen and good pillows. Great to have a dining table and chairs. Place mats a good find too. Heating definitely welcoming and warm. Plenty of space as room to store everything and still move around. Good blockout blinds and curtains. Staff very approachable and friendly

Nice enough place, pitty about the price.

Checkin was a little long as the receptionist was on the phone when I arrived. Was given a 150-200ml bottle of milk to take to the room for coffee milk. Room was tidy and roomy, bed comfortable. I did have to unplug the clock radio to plugin my charger but otherwise all was good 👍. Nice shower in bathroom, great pressure. The only downside was the price which was +10% of the other motels around. Was a good 1 night stay for appointment at the Hospital.
