Great stay

Very clean and pleasant place to stay in the edge of town. We had a room for three, which was spacious…one bed was in the living area with the second bedroom separate. Worked well for our little family

Was a very pleasant stay at the Monarch Motel. Greeting staff were brilliant. Was a bit worried when I saw the smallish heater on such a cold day but it heated the room beautifully. Was good value for money and I'd definitely stay here again. Thanks for the ice for my gin and tonic.
