Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room was great for our needs, beds comfy, location excellent for shopping at doncaster. However, barely slept until after 4am because there is an inch gap under the door of room 8 and its closest to the bistro so could hear every word of the security guards talking until the wee hours and every patron or staff that left out that door, every car that moved let alone the traffic noise. Easily rectified with some soundproofing around the door. Would be good to be able to turn off the balcony light too.
With parking close by and fabulous service, I often stay here for both business and pleasure.
The restaurant food can be delivered to your room with a smile and there are supplies in the room such as bottled water, jelly beans and ‘hotel biscuits’.
Fabulous beds and block-out blinds for a great night’s sleep. You can check in any time while the gaming room is open and the staff are all very accommodating. Love it - I stay often.
Great location for a night or two. Reception staff member incredibly welcoming and friendly, remembers return visitors.
On site bistro has decent, inexpensive meals.
Only downside is it is quite noisy at night but still excellent value for money.
Fabulous motel - best beds - very clean - complimentary water, biscuits and lollies.
I checked in much later than expected and it wasn’t any problem.
Love this place - they have the most comfortable beds ever.
