Tudor Lodge Motel

Tudor Lodge Motel

10/10 Excellent
"The room was clean and spacious the temperature was a good, particularly for sleeping in the comfortable bed. There was a heater had it been required. The kitchen was well appointed and the bathroom large, both user friendly. I was there for 2 nights and away at a Conference close by for most of the time. The unit was lovely to come back to, My thanks especially to the owner/manager, I accidentally left my phone behind and he went the extra distance to assist with management of this inconvenience."
