Spa Lodge Motel

Spa Lodge Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Perfect spot for a long weekend stay. Just a couple of minutes’ walk from the thermal complex, in a quiet side road. The unit is older-style, as other reviewers have commented, but wants for nothing and has space that newer motels lack. Outdoor furniture catches late morning sun and overlooks the carefully-tended gardens. I slept well in a very comfy bed, was kept warm with an efficient heater (and electric blanket to take the chill off the bed). The sofa and chair were also very comfortable. I recommend highly and hope to find a room here when I next visit Hamner. "
