Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great accommodation but the location is pretty grey. Friendly host. Modern, clean facilities. Rates are a bit high for the location relative to cities where due to Covid hotels are competing on price.

Beds were super comfy and our 2 bedroom room was huge! great for young children with plenty of space inside and the lawn right out the back door.
Motel is the cleanest I have ever seen and was great that the room got refreshed when we were out. The owner was great to us and showed my husband to our room plus turned on the heater which was awesome when we were getting in late at night.
We hardly noticed the traffic on Sunday morning but was a bit louder on Saturday - nothing some ear plugs can't fix. We will definitely be choosing to stay at the phoenix motel again.

Excellent motel to stay at and good handy location. Very warm and comfortable and very very clean. Richard the owner was so welcoming and thoughtful turning the heaters and lights on for when we arrived home after a long day away. We enjoyed it so much booked an extra night and another booking 2025. Would recommend these motels to anyone wanting a great place to stay 😊

We stopped in here for one night and business.

The room was clean comfortable and had everything you would need. The parking was easy and it is a short walk to restuarants and town.

The only thing we had a problem with was the road noise. I am not sure if all rooms would be as bad but ours was on the second floor and facing the main road. Others may be used to this but we aren't and it did interfer with our sleep. Apart from the noise it was a good place to stay and well located.

Excellent comfortable and clean motel in great location handy to central town. Very spacious with super comfy bed. Friendly and helpful host who put the heater on for us to come back to a warm room in the evening. Will definitely visit again.

There is a saying that goes "You only get one chance to make a first impression." When I walked into my motel not only was it immaculately presented but there was a subtle but beautiful smell to the room. The whole picture said to me "Welcome, come on in, we really value having you here." First impressions don't come better than that Clare - you did a top class job. Thank you. There was nothing that detracted from this first impression during the whole stay either - another satisfied customer - I shall return!

Stayed here for the first time. Lovely and spacious, clean and tidy. Comfortable bed and lovely spacious bathroom. The only down side was being right beside the road and hearing the traffic noise all through the night particularly trucks. We were advised of this when booking but didn't realise how bad it was. Perhaps we are just light sleepers. It was the last room available so couldn't be choosey

We stayed here as a large group and were very pleased. It is very clean, rooms well appointed with all the amenities you should need. Some rooms a bit noisy with the traffic, but really not a major consideration. We would definitely return.

It was running late and we looked on Ebookers for somewhere to stay, this place popped up as close by and good ratings,

We have virtually no experience of motels, but I have to say we where impressed, the room was large and spotlessly clean, it had a well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, extra pillows, 42” tv, sky, iron, tea /coffee/milk, table/chairs, settee and spa bath,

Very impressed with effort put into making this motel a home from home,

We couldn’t have had an easier and more pleasant check in and stay at a five star hotel,
