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.

We enjoyed our short stay. Room was very nice with a great kitchenette , a small table and 2 chairs. Very clean. We selected because it was not in the center of town but had easy access to travel out to areas nearby. Everyone was very accommodating. Parking spot for our room.
