We had previously stayed at the Best Western so we knew exactly what to expect in terms of the room size and facilities. The rooms are a bit tired (especially the bathrooms) but it was extremely clean and had everything we needed. The staff were courteous and helpful. The motel is on a busy road so earplugs are recommended for a good nights sleep. On the last afternoon of our stay we didn't have hot water in our room. The staff responded immediately, calling a tradesman in to fix the problem. Unfortunately the 'fix' didn't work so we were offered another room. As it was our final night we didn't want the bother of changing rooms but were able to use the shower in the other room. The staff were extremely helpful and nothing was a problem.

Traditional comfortable motel, which was great for a one night stay. Good bed in a ground level room. Friendly staff. We didn't eat at the restaurant but had heard it was good. It is on a main road, but we couldn't hear any traffic noise.

Room heating did not work. They offer a room change but they managed to get heating working aftet a while. Bed was clean, but was made up in very strange manner forcing us to remake the bed ourselves to even being able to get into bed. Wanted a cup of tea/coffee but no cutlery except a single knife, no teaspoon, and the tea/coffee/sugar sachets just enough for one cup each, and were not topped up when room serviced. When we returned the next day for a booked 2nd night, we were locked out, forcing yet another trip to reception. Had stayed at this property previously, and quite happy then, but thus stay will give us 2nd thoughts of staying there again. Staff reasonably helpful and friendly, but other issues forced a poor rating. Overall not a good experience.

I have stayed at this property previously and was upgraded to a premium room which was quite nice, as a result of repair work taking place around the hotel. Based on the level of cleanliness I had assumed that the standard rooms would be basic but equally clean and tidy. This was not the case - standard room was terrible. Stained and damaged furniture, curtains stained and discoloured, kettle was full of rust, cutlery was dirty. Overall, far below other, cheaper hotels in town. I raised my concerns with front of house who were most helpful and was upgraded to a premium room, which appeared quite good initially, but the more you look, the more you see amiss. I won't be back.
