Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Our stay at Ashford motor lodge was very good! An absolutely clean and comfy place to stay. Super comfy beds, a great location around food places and shops. The pool was super cold but very good on a hot day, it was just a little dirty at the bottom but not off putting. The main downfall about this place was the Carpark. It was super tight and when full hard to get around. Another little downfall was when I checked it’s I got greeted but didn’t get much info about the place such as the places rules and pool times, leading me to look it up myself. Luckily there’s a book in the room that has the rules but would’ve preferred to be told upon arrival as that’s what usually happens when I check into places. Overall a very solid stay.
