Reviews for VIP Motel
Review 1：Very hard to communicate with man in reception in all aspects. Had to ring another person about WiFi connection. The shower had long black hairs on the wall.
Review 2：Breakfast was satisfactory.
Review 3：Great staff and what you'd expect for the price.Needs a designated smoking area - people were smoking and socializing too close to our room.. 'Continental breakfast' consisted of snacks and coffee you grabbed and took back to your room; would be nice if a savory item, like pre-wrapped cheese was offered. Nice, walkable location.
Review 4：Great price for a last-minute, high season booking.
Review 5：Quiet room. Owner/manager responded quickly when we had problem with TV. Nice little grassy area with picnic table to relax with coffee and cigarette. Bench just outside room for sitting.
Review 6：The room that was assigned to me they gave it away ,and gave me one with out air conditioning I asked for a room with a/c and got a room that was so hot you couldn't sleep. Ask them to leave the room as was because I was staying one more night and they went into my room turned my fan off so the room was so hot that you couldn't sleep and took the extra coffee that was given to me for morning. Wasn't happy with the managment at all
Review 7：The women who cleaned the rooms was very nice, I'd give her a 100% nice to talk to every friendly.
Review 8：It would have been nice if the room furniture was a little more modern or in better shape.
Review 9：Property was extremely clean, though dated. Overall, very good value for the money and would stay again.
Review 10：The host has very limited English. Cannot explain attraction in the area. Make your own coffee as the one at breakfast is cold. Mixed clientele at this location in the off season. Summer may be better.
Review 11：Parking, central location, price.
Review 12：The ice machine was out of order for the 2 nights I was there.
Review 13：This place was very good value for the price. Although the furniture is older, the place is well maintained and very clean. Parking was right outside the door which was very handy. Wine glasses in the room were a nice touch.
Review 14：We stayed here during the Thanksgiving weekend , six of us in the family room, the rest of our family was camping at Rathtrevor campsite. So we went back and forth. VIP was great , great value for your money, and clean, and so much room in the family suite!.

Review 71：This was a great Motel. Even though it was an older building it has been kept in good condition. I loved the convenient parking right outside your Motel door. Every amenity in the room that one would need. The continental breakfast was great and I was happy to be able to take it to my room on a tray. The owners were a lovely couple , very warm and sociable. Great value for your money. I certainly will stay there again. Vicky
Review 72：Room information is not correct! Here it states Queen Room is equipped with microwave, this isn't true as none is provided! Room cleaning haphazard and takes place at irregular times. Maid let herself into our room by mistake before we'd checked out!
Review 73：Free, generous continental breakfast! Room kept clean, soap, toilet roll and towels replaced often. Washing machine free to use, dryer $4...
Review 74：This motel was recommended by my in laws who have stayed there many times before. I took my wife there for her birthday and booked for 3 nights. On the seconded day, I went into the lobby for the included continental breakfast. The toaster did not work and the carafe for coffee was gone already. There was no one in the office The last morning, the toaster again was not working but the staff member said that it had to be plugged in. The office had an overpowering odor of well used cooking oil and garlic. Upon arriving back to the unit on the 3rd night, although the bathroom towels had been replaced, there were no clean coffee cups, drinking cups nor soap left. It was evident the bathroom had not been cleaned. The bathroom ceiling paint was peeling. I was not impressed with my stay.
Review 75：Sheets were too small for bed office was smelly bath tub not cleaned properly face cloth had holes in it breakfast was only so so room not cleaned properly we have stayed at this motel many times over the past 20 years and feel that it has really gone downhill in the past 3 years
Review 76：Owner had no clue that room was booked on booking.com. I had booked the room at about 730 pm, and even messaged the hotel about our late arrival time. They seemed unaware.
Review 77：We arrived after 1 am, the office was dark but the owner came to the door after 1 ring. Free toiletries a nice touch, as was the continental breakfast.
Review 78：Located on a busy road. Certainly not as soundproof as their website states as I could hear cars all night which is not something I'm used to. Constantly had to enter the wifi password.
