Begonia City Motor Inn

Begonia City Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Whilst this property offers superior value for money (room size, location, facilities), there are silly niggles. For example, I was there for four nights but they do not refresh tea/coffee/sugar/milk. They refresh towels and empty bins but do not make the bed. Used cups and glasses are taken away but not replaced. I would recommemnd this property to business travellers but would ask the management to consider these minor issues for longer term stayers."
