West End Motor Lodge

West End Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely stay at West End Motor Lodge in Orange. The room was clean, comfortable and well presented, with a very comfortable bed and everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and parking was convenient, but it was first come, first served for the spot. The location was also handy for exploring Orange, with shops, restaurants and local attractions within easy reach. It was great to have a comfortable, quiet place to return to after a day out. Overall, we found West End Motor Lodge to be good value for money and would happily stay here again. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for clean, comfortable and convenient accommodation in Orange."
