    Decor needs to be improved. Kitchen items were basic. We booked 3 rooms and each room had different things missing ie. studio 1 knife, studio and twin room had a microwave each, 2 bdrm unit didnt have a microwave, 3 dinner plates instead of 4...

    The place was clean and quiet location. We booked 3 units and our 2 bedroom unit had plenty of room, comfy couch. Our kitchen had a new stove. Property Managers were very helpful and attended to our requests.

    Room was smaller than expected. Cooker did not work. Had to use cooker in another unit, we were not offered to move into another unit! Check in procedure was not easy as we are foreign travellers with no access to mobile phone and check in had to be done via the phone!

    Owner tried to resolve issue re cooker by providing alternative option. Place was clean.

    Some things were not working, such as the kitchen light, some smaller lamps, and the toilet flusher button gets stuck, and there were no wine glasses which was a pity as we enjoy a glass of wine with / after dinner. Not serious issues, but would be nice to have those things attended to. We do appreciate the problem with the supply failure of the lamps, I personally have this problem at home as well.

    Location is great, it's a short walk to town, but still very quiet and peaceful. The service was prompt, professional, and friendly, especially when asking for a couple of things to be attended to, such as the kitchen light. We appreciate the speedy attention, thanks! Parking is as good as it can be, right outside the door! Can't do better than that! The place is comfortable for the duration that we had it. And finding it is so easy, with just one turn from the town centre, and a signboard to guide us.

    Mildew on bedroom curtain, light in bedroom not working, toilet seat loose. The wifi was not working for the two days we stayed. Little things that could have been easily fixed and would have made a big difference to our stay. The office was also closed when we went to check out even though it was within checking out hours so we were unable to let them know of the above comments

    Spacious unit, great location, good parking area. Comfortable beds. Although there were a few easy to fix things, the unit was good value for money.

    The unit needed maintenance, such as dripping tap and toilet cistern that didn’t shut off properly. Other maintenance such as repairs in bathroom had not been completed. Floor did not look like it had been cleaned prior to our visit.

    The two bedroom unit was spacious. The chairs were comfortable and the unit was easy to warm up.

    I arrived at Ascot Motor Lodge at 4pm. Reception was locked but there was a phone number on the door. I rang, and the woman that answered told me there were no available rooms, even though I had already paid. She texted me the address of another motel to drive to. When I arrived there it was run down, with no sign out the front. I rang her again and she told me which unit number to go to, and that it was open with the key in it. There was a group of men hanging around my unit (they were guests, and they were fine) and I felt extremely uncomfortable. There was no milk in the fridge so I couldn't make a coffee. The whole experience was awful for a solo woman traveller.

    No-one on reception, had to phone to check in. No info in room re wifi, had to txt and phone to get the password. Double bed was so spongy and uncomfortable that I got a sore back and had to sleep in a single bed which was only marginally better. The unit was only superficially clean. There were cobwebs in corners, the floor in the loo behind the door was filthy (I could literally scrape black muck off with a fingernail), surfaces in the kitchen were sticky, the tinfoil under the elements was dirty. We were left only a tiny bit of loo paper for a two day stay, had to buy more ourselves. We bought food to cook for breakfast then couldn't use it because turning the elements on the stove top kept turning themselves off - the fuse wasn't blowing so there is something else wrong with the electrics, this may be a fire hazard.

    No breakfast, location was good.

    In the ad it said there is a barbecue but there was no barbecue on site. We couldn't find the wifi username and password. It wasn't given to us either.

    The room was all we needed to stay for a night. It was very clean and confortable. Parking in front of the room was also convenient.

    Worse room we have ever stayed in. The motel looks run down. Everything in the room looks worn out, out dated and desperately in need of a make over. The large sliding glas windows were dirty as. In the kitchen everything was greasy. In the bathroom, shower and the kitchen the drains were blocked or only drained very, very slowly. We got a room with a kitchen, but decided to go out for dinner in this place.

    To get out of there as early as we could!
