Would recommend

Efficient, functional and comfortable. Well set up for the family. Lovely jacuzzi. Only thing would be to sort the various wires hanging down from the TV. Could be dangerous for little ones.
Richard, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The heater in the room had not been switched on prior to our arrival and took quite some time to warm up, not what you want on a cold winters nigh. Apart from that 5\10
Jacqueline, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Was supposed to pay at property but they precharged before arrival so couldn’t use the credit card I wanted to so cost me in fees
Julie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great room ,good firm bed. Nice reception staff and close to town.
Sandra, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very accommodating manager. Couldn't do more to make us comfortable!! One criticism is the shower was tricky!! Hot water didn't come on easily. We eventually got it going after seeing the notice on the wall. The shower floor was very slippery, as the curtains didn't keep the outside dry, so quite dangerous when wet. I had to dry the floor leading to the toilet to prevent my husband, and myself, from slipping. Needs an air vent/ expel fan. The kitchen could benefit also from an expel fan.
Jan, 1-night trip

May, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very Clean Motel

The Asure Motel was lovely and clean it was a cold day when we arrived late in the afternoon and they had put the heating on which was great. We had the room close to the road and were worried about road noise but it was not a problem
