Liked: I didn't stay for breakfast Location was good as I was visiting customers
Disliked: All good
Liked: Great location. Friendly staff
Disliked: A little taffic noise. The fold out couch-bed could use an extra blanket
Liked: The motel is originally 1990s. The painted walls of pinky brown and blue green carpet reflect its era. The bathroom finishes also are in keeping of the 1990s. The bed i think is also original. The low flat mattress with not padded top and springs that have known many years of service. Very authentic. I think the price reflects what you get. Otherwise good value.
Disliked: Dated and needs a make over. The bed most have been original. You know the ones that are very flat mattress and come up to you knee. The springs are tired and roll you into the centre. Im sure our plumbing system was connected to next-door, as I did hear that water rushing through the pipes sound a few times. The shower tap fell off,but was easy to replace and turn it off. The lounge suite needs replacing. Its springs appear to have just about given up. The arms are worn and dirty.
Liked: Great friendly service good area we were able to clock in earlier at 1.30pm good kitchenette which had everything we needed to use, small heater wasn't not too bad jst a little noisy as it got cold at night
Disliked: Locking the door was frustrating, there started water leaks on the bathroom floor which I think was coming from the toilet I almost slipped, location too close to the train track n was not able to sleep properly also the bed was low bouncy n too uncomfortable
Liked: Friendly staff. The main bedroom was comfortable. Clean. Very handy location to hobbiton
Disliked: - Sofa bed in the lounge was one of the worst I habe experienced. Could feel every spring. It was so old. - Bathroom has exposed screws in the bath so kids couldnt have a bath without getting hurt. - Toaster did not work - No fire alarms. The brackets were there but the fire alarms were gone. - The smell of rubbish in the courtyard was really bad.
Liked: Very spacious clean
Disliked: Toaster didn't work
Liked: No fuss at check in very helpful, handy location.
Disliked: I was quite happy with the property.
Liked: Clean and roomy
