old but ok!

The Frimley Lodge is an older motel with limited facilities, eg. luggage had to be placed on the floor, one single worn out chair only The Frimley has a pool though. The motel is on a main road, there is some traffic noise . Otherwise not a bad place to stay !

Had a proper fridge and cooker. Swimming pool right outside our door. Good price. - Even in a unit farthest from the road it was quite noisy. Needs modernising and regardless of price most people require a clean room. It wasn't clean.

The motel was well positioned for our purposes. We were well received by the person on duty when we arrived. We were very grateful for the room as it was the last one available in that part of the city, seeing it was a public holiday weekend. However the room we experienced was not what we saw pictured on line - obviously a photo-shop job. The actual room was clean on the surfaces but dirty in the corners. Light shades were dirty. The bathroom window sill was rotten at both ends. There was no shower curtain. There was no tea towel to wipe dry the dishes - we were there for an evening meal and breakfast.. Overall, it was a very tired unit needing some loving attention.

I liked my stay at Frimley motel, it was relaxing. Room was nice, beds were comfortable. The extra fans provided in the rooms were wonderful as it was a very hot night. Only thing I would suggest would be information booklets in the rooms, for how to use tv, phone etc. also something to let us know that the pool is quiet deep. My kids got a bit of a fright when they couldn’t touch the bottom.

The manager was very obliging when we asked to check in early. Unfortunately we were located next to the pool and a group of people were having a bbq and drinking making noise till late. Then the guests staying on the other side of us were drinking and making alot of noise through to 5am. Needless to say we did not get any restful sleep and got up and left for our drive home at 7am
