This is an old-fashioned, park your car at your door motel, a real throwback. But inside it's modern, recently renovated, and immaculately clean. Nothing fancy, but everything you need, and very convenient to downtown Belfast. (Not walkable, since you have to cross the big bridge, but only a mile from town.) HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Thanks for your review! We are glad you appreciated our clean, efficient style. We look forward to seeing you again. Just an FYI, you can walk to the downtown area from the motel via the pedestrian footbridge. (There is a sidewalk on the opposite side of the road from the motel that leads to the footbridge. It is about a 20 minute walk to downtown).

Room was spotless. Cleaning staff was around and available. Laundry room was also very clean with both washer and dryer in good order. Wished they offered continental breakfast but there are restaurants in town available and within short driving distance.

Everything was great. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was clean and spacious. Lines were a good quality. Complimentary coffee and tea. I was beyond happy with the room.

Not much bad to say about this property. Beds are comfortable, rooms are clean. Amenities are satisfactory. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because maids began rolling their (noisy) cleaning carts past our window way too early in the morning. Like, 7:30am. Woke us up.

the motel was great for us and served our reasons for beng there perfectly! We will come again for sure! One comment, the shower head in our room needs repair, it makes it less pleasant to shower, small detail and one I think you may not know about unless another guest lets you know! thanks Kate and Brad

This is a great choice for someone on a budget who wants to have a clean and comfortable room close to downtown Belfast. It appears to have been recently renovated and has modern conveniences. The mattress seems new but it was quite thick and soft which really kills my back. But maybe others love the warmth and coziness of such mattresses, so I can't fault them for it. The heat works very well but it does blow all night, cycling on and off. The microwave, mini fridge, clean bathroom, and ample space to move around in the room were all appreciated. The staff were available when they said they would be and were friendly/efficient.

We stopped here for a rest after a long day of traveling. The room was so clean and cozy. Only about 4 minute drive from shops and restaurants, but not within walking distance of much. Everything was quiet and it had all the amenities you could need for a hotel room, including microwave, coffee maker, and a small refrigerator. Front desk staff member was kind and check in was super easy. Thankful for this little hotel after a long travel day.

Perfectly acceptable, clean and comfortable. Like most places these days, there is no daily housekeeping. It would been nice to have access to recycling containers and to a centrally located bin for used food containers or food waste (peels, etc.).
