Martinborough Motel

Lovely host, tired motel Very basic motel, tired and run down but lovely host and motel within walking distance of the town. Beware there is no internet.

The owner (Colin) is just the nicest human being you could meet. Very helpful and friendly. This is very basic accommodation, so if you’re looking for modern, upmarket or such, this isn’t it. The rooms are dated and needing a refresh, but since we had only visited Martinborough to enjoy the restaurants, vineyards etc., it didn’t bother us. Everything was clean and tidy, so we were happy.

The biggest issue is the room booked was NOTHING like what ******* sold me. The owner did ring me to advise - alarm bells right there. Overall clean & tidy, the carpet was yuck and small double bed sofe & lumpy. Really dated overall could do with a freshen up. End of day you get what you pay for. Was v glad when the morning arrived and we could leave.

Despite some friendly hosts and a very central location, our stay here made us glad we were only staying one night in Martinborough. The dirty carpet, lack of WiFi (which is as advertised to be fair) and numerous bug sightings makes the Motel feel very outdated and quite uncomfortable. Also, while of course not the Motel’s fault, the fire station across the road blaring a siren in the middle of the night like the Blitz is raining down on you made our night less than ideal. While I understand the stay is cheap for the area, compared to what we have received across the country for the same price we were disappointed, and I would recommend paying a bit extra for some of the beautiful other stays in Martinborough. The cheap price and location is the only thing saving this from a one star review.

The owners were very nice and helpful. Very cheerful. Motel a bit dated but comfortable and clean.
