Nice clean motel. Very quiet area not in the main tourist area. Great fill breakfast. Family style resturant next door. No Uber service but easy and cost effective Stirling Taxi service we found quite affordable. 9 pounds to downtown.

Expectations were met, the staff were fantastic, it is misleading online about the laundry facilities, we paid more for the booking thinking we could do laundry at the half way point of a long vacation, be clear that laundry is sent out, not on site. Regards

Hotel.com don't care at all!!

Just expect to get your breakfast plate taken away before you are finished! I have tried to tell the proprietor about this issue via the app also via X with no feedback whatsoever! Maybe Hotels.com don't really care or want to hear real feedback! Just get InTouch with me please!

Always know what you’re getting. Good breakfast and nice pub across car park for evening meals. Clean rooms. We had a twin room but only one bedside table between the beds. There was easily room for a small shelf on the other side. No need for plugs just somewhere to put phone, kindle, etc.
