8/10 Very good

Great value for money and perfect for somewhere to stay while working in the area. Bistro meals were a little pricey but the food was good and the serving was generous. The rooms were spotlessly clean and the bed was comfortable however the motel in general could do with renovation.

It was central to my appointments and great food at the Hotel. Also the room was reasonably priced as I am on a budget and can’t afford expensive accommodation

Lack of signage made reception hard to find. Bed was too soft, lumpy.
