Gateway Motel

My wife and I chose the cheapest option in booking a standard queen room for our overnight stay. We sent a message to the motel asking for a quiet room, however, upon arrival we found our allocated room to be very noisy with busy Windsor Road too close to the front door and the rear window overlooking the hotel beer garden that is open until 4am. We returned immediately to the reception to request a quiet room and had to pay a third more for a superior room in the block at the back of the property, which was much more to our liking (apart from the adjacent building works, but they stopped at 4pm). The room was spacious, modern and very clean, with a comfortable King size bed, great shower, kettle, toaster, microwave, cutlery, crockery and it was very QUIET. We thoroughly enjoyed our restful, overnight stay.

Very comfortable and friendly staff. Having the pub next door was very convenient.

Air-con failed one hot and humid evening. Control Panel showed "CP". But Hotel Duty Manager kindly allowed us to sleep in another room with a working Air-con. The hotel fixed our sir-con promptly the next morning. There are no empty parking bays in front of our room when we returned late in the evening. We had to park on the lawn. Staff are all very friendly and lovely.
