Great room ,good firm bed. Nice reception staff and close to town.
Unit was clean, tidy, a little dated but in good condition. Conveniently located, helpful staff. The clincher for us is the dog-friendly classification allowing us to take with us our beloved black Labrador.
The one thing that would lift the unit to 5 stars would be a heat pump/air conditioning.
We shall certainly book again.

Layout of the room could have been improved as could not use the couch and watch TV. TV was a bit small, tucked in the corner and too low to comfortably watch from the bed. Otherwise, clean, tidy and good service on arrival.

As always the Ambassador offered a restful, convenient place for this traveller. I have stayed there a number of times before and would recommend it. The complementary muffin on arrival is a lovely touch!

Very Clean Motel
The Asure Motel was lovely and clean it was a cold day when we arrived late in the afternoon and they had put the heating on which was great.
We had the room close to the road and were worried about road noise but it was not a problem
