I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean, although it was a bit inconvenient that tea bags and drinking chocolate weren't replenished. The parking also proved inadequate in the evening, with cars outside our room. However, it was excellent value for money, and the staff were great, always ready to help despite the occasional soap-dropping mishap.

My stay at the hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms were nice, especially with the huge spa bath and spacious bathroom. Ground coffee was a nice touch. The hot tub added a luxurious feel to my stay. The service was fantastic, with the staff going above and beyond, and I appreciated the attention to detail for guests with disabilities. The location was convenient, with a short walk to restaurants. The motel had free Wi-Fi, which was a big plus. The dining experience could use some improvement, as the prices were a bit high and the quality was lacking. The facilities were good, but there is room for enhancement.

My stay at the hotel was a pleasant surprise. The room was much bigger and more comfortable than expected, spotless, and nicely decorated with a small kitchenette offering everything one might need. The location was conveniently close to restaurants and in a quiet area. However, the service, though polite, had some communication issues due to language barriers and maintenance concerns like blown light bulbs. The dining experience had its ups and downs with good service but overpriced and unsatisfying food.

I was pleasantly surprised by the clean, tidy, and top-class rooms despite being located in the furthest darkest corner of the motel complex. They were spacious, comfortable, and very warm. The service was friendly and welcoming, but it's worth noting that the motel needed better maintenance. However, I have already booked to stay again for another weekend. The location was excellent, with easy access to supermarkets and downtown, making it convenient for friends to join us for a drink. Although the separate smoking area was a bonus, the dining experience was overpriced and less satisfactory compared to nearby cafes.

Staying at this hotel was like a refreshing breeze, with clean and spacious rooms equipped with cooking facilities. The ceiling fan not working properly made it a bit too chilly for comfort, but overall, it was a good experience. The service was top-notch, with friendly and accommodating staff throughout my stay. The location was very convenient, close to the Central City and other essential services. The dining experience was a bit disappointing considering the cost, but the Mediterranean dishes were a highlight. The facilities provided were satisfactory.

I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at the hotel. The rooms were like a public restroom, yet the coffee beans were freshly made and I even received fresh milk. The ambiance felt institutional with a lot of printed signs, but the service from the housekeeping was decent. Although it lacked the wow factor, it was still fine for a motel unit.
