    Had an enjoyable stay for an overnight business trip & would come here again. The hotel was clean with handy and incredibly comfortable location between airport and city centre and brand-new rooms. Location: the venue was close to nearly botanic garden Hagley park too and most tourist attractions and the supermarket. The staff was attentive, thoughtful, and everything was nice.

    The motel's location was very convenient, with the town centre and shopping area within a short distance. There were also many dining options nearby. the room had a mini kitchen and appliances like a hairdryer, providing all the necessary facilities. the daily cleaning and change of towels were greatly appreciated. the bed linen was clean and well-pressed, and the towels were soft and of high-quality. the housekeeping staff were amazing, going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay.

    The wifi connection was slow and difficult to connect to.
