There was hair on the floor in the bathroom, mould in the shower, grime stuck to the skirtings. The wallpaper was ripped in the bathroom, no extractor fan in the bathroom either and no towel rails. The window latches were falling apart and there was no aircon so had to have windows open all night. Our room was right next to the road so very noisy. Beds were rock hard. The kitchen bench had a big brown stain on it and the drawers felt like they were going to collapse. The plugs are in very strange places and even installed upside down. There was also bubble wrap still left on the chairs like they couldn’t even be bothered removing it and my daughter found a loose screw on the floor and almost swallowed it. Can tell it’s very run down and the minor renovations that are underway aren’t done with much care. When we asked for a refund the husband was very understanding and made the process quite easy for us but then the wife rang me the next day and said they would only process the refund if I agreed not to write a review. Which is awful customer service and just made my trip very stressful so would definetly not recommend staying here!! ##### Shawney Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexander 30 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff were nice to deal with. Rooms are basic but it was what we wanted. Bed was very nice to sleep in and there was no noise from other units. Units are well off the road so no noise there either. Having units so far from the road makes parking so much safer for your car overnight. Would stay here again when in the area. ##### Alexander Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 24 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room recently upgraded, new carper.

The property is in dire need of some ongoing maintenance ,ie walls where fixtures have been moved have holes in , carpet and mats ragged in places ,entry doors and windows to rooms have not been cleaned since goodness’s knows when . ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hae Jung 8 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 안락하고 만족한 숙소 해밀턴에서 출발해서 결국은 예상보다 늦게 9시경 도착했음 Check in 시간을 확인하고 전화를 미리 해야하는데 그 시간을 놓쳐서 전화를 했더니 안 받아서 메시지 남겨놓고 갔더니 오피스 문에 emergency 번호를 남겨놓아 연락함 방안에 키를 뒀으니 들어가면 될수있도록 해놓음 깨끗하고 쳔안한 숙소였음 주방도 잘 되어있고 늦게 맛있게 밥을 해먹고 잘 쉬었음 ##### Hae Jung Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Thu 27 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Spacious and comfortable Manager was helpful when we needed to check in late.

This worked well. Could be a super motel if managment tidy up little things like removing carpet stains, cleaned up walls and paint falling off the bathroom ceiling. Other than this place was really clean. ##### Jo Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 20 Feb 2020 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I made my booking through Wotif and I was phond by the motel and told there was no accommodation available and Wotif should not of taken the booking.

We were very disappointed with the standard of cleanliness and the lack of basic maintenance we noted in unit 304. I was unable to bring the deficits to the attention of management until the day we left (we had a two night stay). Management were very apologetic about the state of the room and offered us a partial refund which we accepted. Management assured us that they would attend to the problems. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Travelodge Hotel Wellington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wellington-Hotels-Travelodge-Hotel-Wellington.h523242.Hotel-Information) > > [4 Star Hotels in Dalbeattie](https://www.expedia.co.uk/4Star-Dalbeattie-Hotels.s40-0-d182757.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Copthorne Hotel Wellington, Oriental Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wellington-Hotels-Copthorne-Hotel-Wellington.h1275.Hotel-Information) > > [Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto - Kyoritsu Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kadensho.h34491269.Hotel-Information) > > [Rydges Wellington Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wellington-Hotels-Rydges-Wellington-Airport.h30101357.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kendrick Exclusively for Adults](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-The-Kendrick.h92090226.Hotel-Information) > > [Quest on the Terrace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wellington-Hotels-Quest-On-The-Terrace.h7994080.Hotel-Information) > > [SplashWorld Venus Beach All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hammamet-Hotels-SplashWorld-Venus-Beach-All-Inclusive.h13056275.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartaments Independencia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Apartaments-Independencia.h2185216.Hotel-Information) > > [The Blue Boar Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alcester-Hotels-The-Blue-Boar.h2496222.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Estepona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Estepona-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d5128-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Wolfe Inn Wolfscastle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haverfordwest-Hotels-The-Wolfe-Inn.h31934315.Hotel-Information) > > [Museum Apartment Hotel, Independent Collection by EVT](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wellington-Hotels-QT-Wellington-Apartments.h5588822.Hotel-Information) > > [L’ETOILE BEACH HOTEL](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marmaris-Hotels-Letoile-Hotel-All-Inclusive.h11667141.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Wellington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wellington-Hotels-Ibis-Wellington.h892402.Hotel-Information) > > [Wellington Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belfast-Hotels-Wellington-Park-Hotel.h23442.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moorea-Maiao-Hotels-Hilton-Moorea-Lagoon-Resort-Spa.h554778.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Tower Knightsbridge, A Luxury Collection Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Park-Tower-Knightsbridge.h5449.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Grays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grays-Hotels.d10702.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in New York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/John-F-Kennedy-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aJFK-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Arlanda (ARN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/arn/manchester-to-stockholm) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Patna (PAT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/pat/london-to-patna) ### Packages > [Sandy Lane Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sandy-Lane-Beach-Holetown.d6061305.Attraction) > > [Agadir Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agadir-Marina-Agadir-City-Center.d6153196.Attraction) > > [Montmartre Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montmartre.d178676.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Balos Lagoon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Balos-Lagoon-Crete.d553248621532502076.Attraction) > > [Cala Brandinchi Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cala-Brandinchi-Beach-Sardinia.d6346843.Attraction) > > [Braies Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Braies.d6306630.Holidays-City-Breaks)
