Positive Reviews
positive:
Good location
Previous guests have found the location of the Robin Hood Motel appealing, mentioning they were able to walk into town via a designated path. Those who didn't fancy the walk found the nearby bus stop and shuttle service handy. Shopping, including at the Fairway Market, is close to the motel.
positive:
Reasonably priced
Guests tend to find the rates at the Robin Hood Motel appealing and it is probably for this reason that the property seems popular for snowbirds staying for the winter. Freebies such as Wi-Fi, local calls and parking offer additional value.
positive:
Friendly staff
The majority of guests comment favourably about the staff here. There are a few exceptions but the staff is mostly described as welcoming, friendly and helpful. Guests find the staff is happy to offer tips and recommendations for the local area.
Negative Reviews
negative:
No breakfast/dining facilities
A small number of guests mention being disappointed by the lack of on-site dining facilities. Beyond a vending machine for snacks and picnic tables, you'll need to take advantage of your room's kitchenette facilities (if you have one) or visit local restaurants.
negative:
Some refurbishment needed
A number of guests comment that they found their room was a looking a little tired and was due new carpets and some decorating. That said, the hotel does seem to have a refurbishment program in place, so room quality may improve.
negative:
Disappointing air-conditioning
Not all rooms and suites at the Robin Hood Motel have air-conditioning units, so this is a problem in itself. Furthermore, those guests who did have a unit in their room often say they were noisy and, in some cases, ineffective.
