Our stay at Walton Park Motor Lodge was quite disappointing. The location was convenient for overnight travel, but the room left much to be desired with its stale smoke odor and poor cleanliness. The service we received was brief but adequate. Unfortunately, we felt the value for money was lacking due to the condition of the facilities and room.

The room was large but had a strong stale cigarette smoke smell. It also showed signs of wear with paint chips and stains, making it feel very uninviting.

We found a real gem during our long road trip. The hotel provided us with ample space and warmth, perfect for our family getaway. It was clean and tidy, which made our stay quite pleasant. The only downside was some minor inconveniences regarding the room amenities, but overall, a great choice for families looking for comfort on a budget.

Unfortunately, my stay at Walton Park Motor Lodge was quite disappointing. The room I was given was not at all what I expected based on the photos online; it had a strong smell of stale smoke and was in dire need of updates. The issues with the TV, leaking tap, and stained bathroom only added to my frustration. While it did have a convenient location, the overall condition of the motel made it a poor value for the price.
