Excellent location and great staff

Went to Sale for the weekend and stayed 2 nights at The Matador Motel. Older style motel but spotlessly clean with all usual amenities. Great staff, knowledgeable and very friendly. Breakfast included and although only a Continental breakfast it was plentiful. The Motel is well situated to walk to the town centre, the Lake, The Wedge and the Art Gallery. Also free parking. Highly recommend.

Lovely stay - the pool was great and the motel within easy walking distance to a good range of eateries. The room was clean, well-appointed and dark for sleeping. Would have been good to have seats outside the room after a day of driving. Would definitely stay again.
Barbara-Anne, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This hotel is well located in Sale . The bed was very comfortable and good parking. On the downside the room was cold with the heating noisy and not very effective. The TV remote did not work with the television in the bedroom and there was a lot of mould on the ceiling in the bathroom.
