The service at Ascot Motor Inn was amazing. We made a big mistake with our booking and they went well above and beyond with us and handled what could have been a very stressful situation very professionally and with kindness. Our room was also very nice and spacious, and location was very handy.

it's ok.

The Ascott is an older style motel. The room was large, however the was not enough space to put your luggage except the floor. There were good drapes, so the room was dark at night, which helps with sleeping. the unit was clean apart from a few ants in the bath room

Carpark thief.

Returned back to the motel around 10.30pm and somebody else was in our dedicated carpark which is always annoying.A quick call to to the manager and he instructed me where we could park for the night. Great stay and would stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Very clean and well equipped. Was noisy due to thumping all night from room above, although that is not the fault of the accomodation - more inconsiderate guests. There was an issue with the spa bath. Couldn't get to fill via tape - seemed to be broken so had to fill via shower head, but a lovely big spa. Would book again.
