    warm electric blankets
    unwelcoming service
    poor ventilation

    The team ensured the electric blankets were on for our arrival.

    Upon check-in, we faced an unwelcoming attitude from management. Arriving at the designated check-in time, we were told our room wouldn't be ready for another hour and a half, which made us feel like an imposition. During our stay, there were moments when the manager's nosiness about our activities was uncomfortable. this, coupled with the chilly winter and condensation issues in the room due to ventilation, made our stay less enjoyable than expected.

    spacious studio
    big spa bath
    friendly owners
    soft mattress
    traffic noise

    Absolutely loved the spacious studio I stayed in. The big spa bath added a touch of luxury after a long day of exploring. Location was perfect for accessing local cafes and restaurants, just a 15-minute walk to the city center. The staff, notably the owners, provided a warm welcome and were genuinely friendly. One downside was the noise from nearby roads. it was quiet most of the time, but some traffic sounds did sneak in at night. Also, while the room was bright, I found the mattress a bit too soft for my liking, which resulted in some discomfort during my stay.

    Consider booking a one-bedroom apartment for more space, especially with a separate sleeping area making it a cozy stay.

    comfortable room
    cold atmosphere

    The location is easy to find, with

    a quick 15-minute drive from the airport. The room was tidy and comfortable, complete with amenities like tea and coffee. Friendly hosts even turned on the electric blanket for us on a chilly arrival. However, a bit more warmth could make the experience perfect.

    impeccably clean room
    lack of elevator

    friendly staff and cozy atmosphere

    Upon arrival, we were greeted by a cheerful staff member who provided helpful maps and recommendations on local attractions. Our room was impeccably clean and had comfortable accommodations, including a well-equipped kitchenette. We also appreciated the quietness of the motel, allowing for restful nights just a short walk from the city center.

    However, we faced a minor inconvenience with the lack of an elevator, making it a bit challenging to navigate our bags up the stairs. Also, while the shower pressure was excellent, the shower space felt a tad cramped.

    I had a great stay with friends, exploring the Canterbury Museum and enjoying a classic punting experience. The accessible room was roomy and clean, located within easy walking distance to attractions. The staff were friendly, and we appreciated the convenience of the kitchenette for making snacks.

    spacious room
    impeccable cleanliness
    accommodating managers
    lack of elevator

    The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and well-appointed with amenities, including a lovely kitchenette that made for a comfortable stay. The managers truly went above and beyond by accommodating our needs, even squeezing in an extra bed in our double room. This centrally located motel provided great value for both business and leisure visits, with easy access to the city and local attractions.

    A minor inconvenience was the lack of an elevator for navigating luggage.
