Location and quiet
No towels had to ask. No spare pillow. No soap in bathroom. Asked for service everyday they didn’t make the bed 1st day or top soap up. Had to ask for towels first day and extra pillow. Serviced room second day made the bed but someone was drinking milk in our room and left it there. Told receptionist and she said was the cleaner and laughed. Stained bedding and towels. Broken window and lights in bathroom.

The motel was convenient for the station, which is why we chose it. The room was clean and comfortable but basic.
The location was not particularly pleasant - busy roads, no interesting shops or cafes nearby.

Great location for attending an event at Wolfbrook Arena.
The room was NOT clean! Cobwebs in kitchen, thick layer of dust on light shade above the bed, mould on net curtains across the sliding door, mould and dirt on shower curtain.
This is not a 4-star facility.
Payment was taken from our card the day BEFORE we arrived with no notification and they would not refund this and allow us to pay with a different card on arrival and they still have not responded to messages sent via booking.com
