Diana, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a quick stay for us to be close to the airport for an early morning flight. We were pleasantly surprised by how well it worked out: Staff was very nice, the space was good for a family of 5 (or larger), and the beds were comfortable with heated mattress pads! The kitchen area is not large, so it's best for short stays or people not planning on doing tons of cooking. We were happy with our stay for the price point especially!
Jennifer, 1-night trip

Wow the Ashford Motor Lodge is a fantastic place to stay. There’s plenty of places to park your car. Lovely relaxing swimming pool. Room and bathroom large and extremely clean and a nice kitchenette to make breakfast and snacks. The staff are so helpful and friendly you could not ask for more on a holiday
