I had an amazing stay at Motel Mediteran! It offers a great value for the price, with clean and comfy rooms, and a lovely atmosphere that makes you feel like you're on a mini getaway. The breakfast was surprisingly good for a budget motel, but the pool area was a bit small. Overall, it's a fantastic choice if you're in the area, especially for visiting the nearby Safari Park.

My stay was rather mixed. The hotel was clean and offered a spacious room at a reasonable price. However, I had a frustrating experience with the service, particularly at the front desk. While there were nice breakfast options, they ran out quickly. If you're looking for a comfortable room and decent facilities, this place might work for you, but the customer service could definitely use some improvement.

I had a rough start with a disappointing room change, but despite that, the hotel does offer clean and well-maintained accommodations. The staff was ultimately helpful in resolving my issue, though initial communication was challenging. If you just need a quick overnight stay, it might suffice, but don't expect too much comfort in some rooms.

The room I ended up in was not what I expected; it lacked the comfort of a couch and had uninviting seating.
