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.

Thank you for your comments. We are proud of the way our staff keep the units for you. However I am sorry to hear that perhaps breakfast was not up to scratch as we are often complimented on them. All of our ingredients are grown locally and we like to work by the simple and flavoursome values, however we will... More

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.

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

I am sorry to read that your stay with us was not how you would have liked it. 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

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.
