From an 80 year old's version of the shower recess stepping over the large step was somewhat challenging as there were no support rails to hold onto and the bath mat was to small'

Fantastic staff, and very quiet dark room for sleeping considering the place was pretty much completely booked out!! The heated pool was not as warm as I was hoping, and my 4 year old found it too cold for her, but considering it was quite a cold day, and the pool is solar heated, it did not surprise or particularly upset me :) Over all, a great place to stay, will definitely use The Matador again in the future!

Hi Anonymous, I'm sorry that you did not enjoy your recent stay with us. I do believe that you have been a little harsh with your review though. The reason you had trouble opening the safe on arrival is that you were putting in the incorrect code that we had given you. The kettle wasn't unsafe. You put it on with not enough water in it and it boiled dry whilst you were outside. I'm not sure why the smoke detector didn't go off. I tested it as soon as you left and it worked however we are having it checked by the detector inspector just to make sure. When we received your call regarding your noisy neighbours we called you back however you didn't answer. We then went and saw the culprits who shut down immediately so problem was solved. Unfortunately we are unable to control the guests and not all think of others when staying in motels. Upon checkout you spoke to our receptionist. I do apologise if she didn't offer an apology. We did call you once we found out we had missed you but again you did not answer so we left a message which did include an apology. It seems we have missed the mark on this occasion and we are sorry as we want all our guests to have a positive experience when staying. Warmest Regards Craig, Alicia and The Matador Team
