It was very loud inside the room from street noise. The room smelt musty/mouldy, and the bed made us roll to the middle (we aren't big people). The stairwell smelt strongly of cigarette. We won't go back, great if you are just looking for a bed for one person, not good if you need to spend any time inside the room.

Better than expected for this price point making it great value. Room very clean and adequate for requirements.
Only downvote because pool was closed - but the water was clear and surrounds immaculate so must have some temporary issue.

We were only staying one night and were aware that we had paid a budget price, but the bed was one of the best we have slept on.
The hotel is tired, but you can see that it is being renovated

Clean and Quiet, even though it is next to the main road (the room was on the other side of the building from the main road) restaurants and pub were close enough to walk to. Position is next to the River and good pathways. We would use this motel again. Price was great.

It was convenient, well priced, clean and everything worked. Convenient carparking. It was a little noisy, but I just turned on the aircon. It was better than i expected for the price point.

Furniture was dusty and carpet was sticky. Bed was a rock and all pillows provided were all flat. Used 3, but still a very uncomfortable night.
