Everything was excellent. The breakfast buffet was probably the best I’ve ever had great variety. Lots to choose from and just very quality food. Great location for pick up and walking. I can’t say enough good about the motel.

I could take the bed through Italy with us - like sleeping on a cloud. Peter at Front Desk was super helpful, friendly and genuinely a nice guy. Breakfast was great. Located within really early to everything.
Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Peter at the front desk was fantastic. Very helpful. Pleasant and accommodating. It was a rainy day at Ljubljana when we got there. He went out of his was to give us brand new hotel umbrellas to use while we went out. He also helped with getting breakfast organised for our two days stay as it didn’t feature in my booking even though I had asked for it. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. And a good variety spread too.

It's 2025. Hotel staff should be LGBT trained.
Check in was hard, unfriendly and unhelpful staff. Check in guy expressed that we were obviously in need of two separate beds even if i had requested a king size bed. Had some awkward time waiting for housekeeping to join our two single beds on one. While we were in the room. The room was old and the carpet was dirty. Not as advertised. Im thinking that the check in guy punished us with the old rooms with separate beds. I might be wrong, but i would not reccommend staying here.
