Reviewed Jul 13, 2026The location is perfect for staying at the mount, near the shops and the room is very tidy and comfortable. I really love having all the sky channels at your bedroom TV.
The shower height is too low. There is an alley (Steeple Lane) by the rooms, so expect to be awaken at the middle of the night by people walking from the Bar.

Reviewed Jul 11, 2026I loved the look of the motel and the ease to get to it. I enjoyed the things in the room which was a lot of Convenience. I loved this place and hence I am putting an effort to write what could be better! 😊
The neighbourhood I believe has a club and the night was slightly difficult because music played until 2/3am and I could hear it loud and clear. I wish they had sound proof windows considering the clubbing situation. Also we found that the plunger still had leftover coffee grounds and wasn’t clean. I wish they had more than one sachets of body wash, shampoo and conditioner because that was defo not enough for two people. I would like to suggest having inbuilt ones like other motels so they don’t have to rely on sachets and min quantities.
