The Matador Motel is my motel of choice in Sale. I’ve stayed here a couple of times and both stays have been great. It’s quiet, very spacious, and excellent value for money. The rooms are clean and comfortable, making it an easy, stress-free stay. I’d happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it.

Staff were lovely and welcoming. We liked the amenities such as guest laundry and a simple breakfast. Some nice little details like complimentary chocolate. Downsides were that the motel is quite old and we shared the room with a number of bugs and harmless spiders.

The unit had an old bull fighting theme which was quite nice. Room was modern and clean. Breakfast was nice with various cereals, toasts, pastries, youghurts and some cold meat and cheese. Juices, tea and coffee were included and was a nice touch as an inclusion.
