Older style motel but comfortable and has everything you need for a budget price, next to some take away shops makes it very convenient.

In a quiet location and room was reasonable without being great. Bed was very comfy. Cleanliness was ok but the bath / spa didn’t appeal. The water pipes and / or the exhaust fan was really loud and needs work as it made a horribly loud noise within the walls

My partner and I stayed here a few weeks ago to have a break for the weekend. If you're looking for something low budget, clean with friendly service this is the perfect place! The accommodation is very well maintained and everything we needed for a weekend stay

*You can get room service everyday, not always available in some places. *The place is super clean: the toilets/ shower is sparking clean. *The service is fantastic: We locked ourselves out of the room, on a freezing night, (at around 8:30pm) and the staff didn’t hesitate to come and open the door for us. The staff is very friendly and helpful. *Good location: - it is in the main road, few minute from the shops by car. - the offer return transport to some local venues. *There is parking in front of your room. I think you can get everything that you need in a hotel at the Ambassador Motor inn
