Motels

Whether you’re seeking a cosy retreat, a luxurious escape, or a home away from home, we have a great selection of accommodations for you.

About Motels

Motels serve as the workhorses of the accommodation world, providing straightforward comfort for road-weary travellers. Their trademark layout – rooms opening directly onto car parks – makes them ideal for those with loaded boots or outdoor gear.

While they may lack the glamour of hotels, motels compensate with practical perks like late check-ins, 24-hour tea stations, and those surprisingly good fry-ups at the on-site diner. Many have been family-run for decades, with owners who know every pothole and shortcut in the area. For road-trippers, sales reps, or anyone who values convenience over chandeliers, these no-fuss stays hit the sweet spot between price and practicality.

Pros and Cons of Motels

Motels offer a range of advantages for travellers looking for budget-friendly accommodation. The majority of motels are conveniently situated near popular attractions and transport links, making it easy for guests to explore the area.

Additionally, these motels often provide basic amenities such as free Wi-Fi, parking facilities, and 24-hour check-in services, which can enhance the overall stay experience. Another benefit of staying in a motel is the affordability factor, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious travellers. With competitive rates and the option for self-catering facilities, guests can save money on their accommodation expenses.

However, some motels may lack the luxury and amenities that higher-end hotels offer. This could include limited dining options on-site or smaller room sizes. It’s important for travellers to weigh the pros and cons when choosing a motel to ensure it meets their needs and expectations.
