I was a bit scared with fighting going on all night in the room next to me. No one to report it too. Outdated and old. Dirty old carpet and not enough exits. Windows throughout dirty. Shower mould. It has a lot of potential. Staff were nice and kind.

No Service and No Care
Booked in for 3 nights. Arrived early evening, so no reception. Settled into the room to find no tea bags. Next morning I spoke to the reception person and asked for tea bags to be put into the room. I arrived back for the 2nd night to find no tea bags and nothing done to service the room. The next morning I hung the 'please service' sign on the door. On arriving back for the 3rd night, no tea bags and no service of the room. On leaving the next morning I called into reception to complain and the receptionist said "oh we forgot to service your room". No apology and a 'no care' attitude. I will never stay there again.

I should’ve slept in the spa bath.. the king size bed was so uncomfortable and lumpy PLUS the sheets were TOO SMALL FOR THE BED: the bottom third of the bed wasn’t even covered by bedsheets! (I took photos if you need them). The little milk container in the fridge was opened already before we got there and during our stay there was a continuous banging on the doors and shouting in the corridor by other motel stayers, even ambulance visits, so who knows what was going on. Not the nice relaxing stay I was looking forward to!

I thoroughly enjoyed my 2 nights stay at the Bell. It was easy to find, plenty of close parking, a clean, comfy, well-equipped, warm and spacious room. My only suggestion would be a nice 2-seater lounge to make staying in the room that much more enticing.
