Handy roadside location near out-of-town shopping
Travellers found this motel’s location just off the M5 motorway to be convenient. Not only was it located at the edge of the Cribbs Causeway retail complex packed with shopping, dining and entertainment, but also it was easy to drive or take the bus to vibrant Bristol city centre for sightseeing, theatres and railway stations. Moreover, there was a pub-restaurant next door and further dining options located within walking distance. The free parking was another plus.

Obstacles to sleep reported
Although many guests said they slept well, some light sleepers remarked that certain rooms were exposed to traffic noise from the nearby motorway. Musty odours and cleaning product smells also proved bothersome for guests in several rooms. Critics occasionally claimed it was a struggle to regulate the room temperature with ease.
negative:
Disappointment at Wi-Fi arrangements
It pleased guests that there was free access to the Wi-Fi network for 30 minutes. However, those wishing to use the network for longer were often unhappy that they faced charges for doing so.

Minor maintenance and cleanliness issues
There were reports of minor maintenance and cleanliness problems in some rooms. These included tired-looking furniture, bathrooms requiring additional refurbishment, stained bedding and insufficiently cleaned bedroom carpets.
