It is a traditional small motel with relatively few rooms of different formats aiming to appeal to several types of budget conscious traveller. Our room had been renovated very recently. It was simply decorated but with everything one needs for a comfortable stay including a sofa,fridge,free standing table and sufficient cutlery to enable breakfast to be taken in your room. It was also very clean. The deck with a table and chairs was an added bonus. There is an attached pub which does very good pub style food but it does get very busy at weekends. Indeed my only criticism would be that whilst there is plenty of Parking locals going to the pub park outside the rooms rather than walk the few extra yards. If you go to bed early the sound of satisfied customers returning to their cars and conversing outside your bedroom window could disturb you. We sleep later so it was not a problem for us. We would stay there again. ##### Phillip Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 29 Feb 2020 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 21 Feb 2020 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was newly renovated and tasteful. However, the hallway entrance was very old and shabby. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and professional. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Taghazout Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taghazout-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Taghazout-Bay.h10210077.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Romantic Hotels in York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Romantic-Hotel.0-0-d5489-tRomanticHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [Family-Friendly Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Family-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d178279-tFamilyFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) ### Packages > [St. Barthelemy Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Barthelemy.d6140949.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Athens City Centre Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athens-City-Centre.d6200220.Holidays-City-Breaks)
