Sherwood Forest and Thistle Development Holidays from £781

An old classic motor court style motel. No food, but there is a swimming pool

The staff was friendly and able to check us in a little early. The bed was comfy, the shower had great pressure, there were enough pillows as well. The pool was the perfect temperature and had privacy from the road next to it. The AC worked, the TV had good channels, there were enough outlets and I appreciated they had hair conditioner. The only downsides honestly were that we were on the bottom floor and could hear every footstep above us. They were like line dancing up there I swear. We could also hear their shower running and it sounded like thunder. One of the bottom drawers wouldn't stay closed and you could potentially run into it with your leg. Last but not least is that the area seems sketchy and we wouldnt recommend walking around.

Old but super clean, vintage retro vibes. Rooms had everything you need. Staff was helpful and I would recommend. Sucks how they don’t include parking and you have to pay an extra fee. You need luck to find parking close by even though we always however we did have to pay street parking.

very clean room but the walls are super thin. you can hear the other people in the other rooms

Honest review: Pros: Very near UCLA, staff was nice, bed was quite comfortable, internet was fast enough to stream a movie on my laptop, room was clean, free breakfast (would have preferred more protein, but it was free after all), valet was very quick with my car, reasonable price given how many other hotels nearby are outrageously priced, clearly they use dehumidifiers to keep the humidity level managed (nice for us given we come from a drier climate and aren’t used to the humidity), the staff reached out in advance to see if I had any special requests before arrival Cons: Next to the freeway and traffic goes all night (we were on the freeway side) - manageable with earplugs or if you are a heavy sleeper; no shower door or curtain so good luck keeping water fully in the shower and it was impossible not to be cold while showering; the toilet paper holder was not stable; no microwave to reheat food we brought with us; BIGGEST complaint…the A/C unit was so loud it sounded like an airplane engine starting up and we were forced to turn off the A/C so that we could sleep without being woken every hour. All other inconveniences were minor compared to that. I really hope they fix/upgrade their units. Would I stay again? Yep. Would I make sure to have earplugs? Big YEP! Would I prefer them to have a maintenanced/quieter Air conditioner? Giant YEP!!
