Nice and clean with updated and freshly painted room.
Door was a bit hard to unlock
Handy to the hospital.
Door lock was a bit dodgy.
Clean, lots of space
Grea location across from the hospital.
Everything, easy access, parking.

Location to the hospital. Friendly staff
I liked the property.
Location and amenities.
The noisy heater.
close to where we needed to be - area safe enough to walk back to hotel at 2am
the shower = when using the shower the water can reach the carpet
Staff were super nice, we were a bit early and they let us in - great location and very neat
Location friendly host
Personally I could feel the bed springs but slept on the single that was comfy
Clean tidy

close to hospital, friendly staff, very clean
Excellent motel big rooms comfortable bed and very quiet will stay here again
I did not request breakfast so unable to respond
I have nothing negative to add
Very clean in room and overall property area. Safe and convenient location. Changing towel and rubbish everyday. Laundry is perfect. Friendly staff. Perfect stay. Recommend.
Room cleaning: I have told the hotel staff more than three times that I wanted the floor vacuumed and the bed linen changed every 2–3 days. However, they explained that vacuuming the floor and changing the bed linen are only provided for guests staying more than one week, which is not consistent with the information on Booking.com. In the end, the floor was vacuumed only on Day 5 of my 6-day stay (5 nights).
The location to the venue was spot on.
The bed we had was rock hard. We both got sore bodies from the bed. I had messaged the property through booking.com and never got a reply. The room doesn't have ventilation as the windows wouldn't open. The bathroom was a nightmare keeping the water in the shower as it was not draining correctly. The Spa bath took forever to work out. Turned out the button was stuck down. Got 3 of everything when it is a room for 2, so had to go and ask for one more pillow and towels for Spa bath. People from the Motel being noisy outside the room on the Saturday when trying to sleep in. Trying being the word with the bed being so hard. Motel advertised electric blankets on bookin.com. Nope they don't have them. There were hairs in the bathroom on arrival. So not entirely clean. Wouldn't stay here again.
the room was pleasant
Make sure you check the beds for blankets when you first get there and ask for more if needed before it gets too late. We had a very cold night.
The room was extra spacious for the two of us. The bed was comfortable. Friendly service.

Great location right across from the hospital
Was hoping to enjoy a fresh spa after radiation treatments but the spa was not clean.
Clean and tidy. Staff were very helpful
Lovely family run motel, comfy cosy beds
Bed was so uncomfortable barely slept
I knew nothing of this motel and booked it simply because it was across the road from the hospital, where my dad was undergoing a surgical procedure. However, I could not be happier - the staff bent over backwards to accommodate my requests, even going so far as to offer me free parking prior to check-in (dad had to be at the hospital at 7am that morning), an early check-in, and taking the time to call me to discuss better room options for my elderly mother who is recovering from a stroke. Our apartment was clean, tidy, very generous in size, and suited us perfectly. I thoroughly recommend this motel - thank you so much for looking after us!
I loved it, the feeling of being welcomed and so clean.
Nothing, il be recommending to others to stay
Room was clean large and quiet

Just somewhere to put our head down for the night so fitted the bill

Great location close to hospital & facilities. Close to cafe Aztec great meals with excellent service.
Great stay at a tidy and clean property. Very welcoming new owner. Highly recommend.
Everything was great, customer service, facilities etc. Would recommend to friends and family!
Nothing that I recall. Everything 👌
We were bottom floor. Late at night I could hear a lot of banging around from upstairs unit and then they started again at 3 am . Not a lot of sleep unfortunately.
It was very close to the hospital
The amenities are the attraction’s
All good
The milk was horrible and the shower mat wasn't very clean
Really appreciated the friendliness of the owner who went outbid his way to accommodate us with a room downstairs, to accommodate my elderly parents. The breakfasts were great, great value for money and I liked having them brought to your room the night before. Thank you.

Unwelcomeing checking, worse checkout. No air conditioning in the small room and no bed side lamps. A male staff member oned rhe door to the room I was sleeping in and yelled at me in the morning to het out. It was 10:07. Horrible experience.
Very clean and tidy

Room was clean and bathroom spacious, very comfortable for our family.
Good location
Service was 💩... Room was disgusting, when I spoke to owner he refused to accept the uncleanliness and made me feel as though I had made the room dirty... Pillows were disgusting
It was nice looking, clean and tidy
The stairs, we didn’t think about stairs when we booked and 2 of our groups struggled with them.
Always the best
Location to where we needed to be was great.
Nothing. All good
Comfy pilllows, quiet, convenient location to hospital
The unit was clean. Friendly staff.
Very small unit. Had to sit on the bed to watch TV which was very high up on the wall so uncomfortable viewing. The bed was quite hard so didn't sleep well at all
The spa bath
There was a weird smell in the bathroom
The door didnt lock, the wardrobe door was iff its hinges rhe power plugs next the bed were obscured and took a person to get on jands and knees to try and access the power point. Over all needs some work to make it safe for customers
