"Highly recommend and will be back:)"

10.0

Fantastic motel, and great hosts in Michelle and Terry. Beds and pillows are amazing, and the room was spacious, well appointed and stylish. Would highly recommend. Also in a good location with plenty of coffee shops, bars and restaurants in walking distance.

"A good location and room - let down by the lack of room servicing."

5.0

Clearly an older property, but a nicely refurbished room. Decent shower and bathroom. The bed was enormous. Reasonably comfortable seating. Off-Street carparking was appreciated. Good location, close to town and Merivale area

We stayed three nights and didn't get any form of servicing of the room. No new towels. No rubbish removed. The booking.com advert said that room service was provided, but they must have missed the memo. Because of this, I would say that this place is only worth staying for one or maybe two nights.

Excellent quality, all amenities available. Great location and easy to access.

Has stairs and a step up into the bath which shower is over. May not be like this in all rooms.

10.0

It is located close to Hagley Park and a short walk into town. The rooms were very clean and spacious. We need good access as we travel with a wheelchair and Terry went out of his way to make every detail perfect!! We will definitely stay here again 😊
