Breakfast was perfect. Good coffee. Good value as well. Dining was super convenient because of the direct connection between the motel and the Red Lion Hotel next door. I could not get the TV connected to the internet (maybe instructions would help). Otherwise really excellent service, spotless and well maintained venues with genuinely friendly attentive staff. Indoor pool, sauna and games area all excellent. Very impressed with the motel and Red Lion hotel. Thoroughly recommended.
This is a great place to stay, the staff are so good, the room is great and the bed so comfortable. The restaurant is the best and so convenient. Pool is good and parking easy

The facilities were great even if the gym is a bit outdated. The swimming pool, sauna, pool table and tennis tables are highly appreciated.
The staff were very nice.
We had dinner a the Red Lion, great food and service.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay the rooms were impeccable and the activities available onsite resulted in some much needed family fun for all.
Very pleasantly surprised with the overall stay, very clean, very well appointed, beds very comfortable, 1st time stay here and will
In future use it as our preferred accomodation, and right next door to the Red Lion Hotel.
Large rooms
Super clean
Great staff and location
Fair pricing
Fantastic facilities
This property has been in the one family for 3 generations and the care and attention shows even the cleaning crew I noticed weee extremely organised.
Another bonus was that it is right next to the red lion hotel so no driving and they also had great staff and extensive menu not to mention the wonderful tank beer! Please see my review on the red lion.. also super impress!
I am happy to submit a very good honest review
Heated swimming pool was fantastic and very clean with two spas and a nice hot sauna. They also have a gym and leisure areas of table tennis and various other activities with tvs showing the latest news.
The lovely Louisa and Jen were extremely helpful with a couple of small requests that they helped me with!
I will return -definitely! Thanks for your friendly hospitality!!
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Sovereign Park Motor Inn. Staff were friendly and helpful, my room was lovely, bed comfortable and locale nice and quiet.
Another lovely visit to the region our second time staying here . This time we we on the roadside and it was a bit noisier in the room with traffic but not so loud you couldn’t sleep . My grand daughter loves the pool and enjoys her afternoon swim
