I had a fantastic stay at this motor lodge! The room was spacious and very clean, with great amenities like coffee and Sky TV. The on-site restaurant served a delicious meal at an excellent price, and the surrounding gardens were lovely. The only drawback was the presence of trucks in the parking area, but thanks to good soundproofing, I barely noticed them. Overall, it was a great value for the money.

The hotel had a very clean and modern room, and I found the beds to be comfortable. While the price was great for what I received, finding the entrance was a bit challenging. Additionally, having to wash dishes in the bathroom sink was inconvenient, but overall, I felt I got good value for my last-minute stay.
