“Spotlessly clean”

Reviewed 4 February 2013

Well placed close to the centre of Hastings the room was spotlessly clean with a good bed. If I was ever in Hastings again would certainly consider using this motel again. If you need a breakfast I would suggest buying the ingredients from a local shop and making it yourself.

All of our ingredients are grown locally and we like to work by the simple and flavoursome values, however we will... More

“Good economical place to stay”

Reviewed 30 January 2013

I stay here often for work - my business is close by. The rooms are of a good quality, bathroom is modern and overall very clean. Breakfast was ok if you like a basic cooked meal but without a good coffee I tend to go to a Cafe Owners are pleasant and I will return.

“First and Last time”

Reviewed 24 January 2013

It was my husbands and my first time staying in a Motor Lodge in Hastings. We didn't find the male owner very friendly, in fact we were made to feel that we were a bother. It was up to 27 degrees, so very hot and the only thing we had to keep us cool at night was a fan that... More

You are right, the summer here in Hastings has been very hot and we have had a few weeks where the temperatures were well over 30 degrees which was very tiring for everyone, including Motel owners. Fortunately the single story design of... More

“Helpful friendly and clean”

Reviewed 6 January 2013

We recently stayed at Portman's for 9 nights. We arrived days earlier than booked and after 11:00 pm. Both Robert and Keren were extremely helpful and consistently friendly throughout our stay. We found the facilities to be clean and well maintained. We would have no hesitation in recommending Portman's to anyone staying in Hastings.
