easy to find as you enter aviemore- opposite the ski road to Cairngorm (9 mile)- go up the bank away from the taverna and find the reception. we were booked into room number 17 at the motel (self catering).
reception check in was quick and helpfull. Now many places i have stayed, the reception staff have been helpfull- but here, you really felt they valued your custom, and would help if you needed any.
Our room was a double bed and a put down sofa bed, accomadating two kids if neccessary. the room was over looking the ski road and mountains- very nice!
Decent furniture- good television on the wall (plasma)- very nice clean bathroom, well shower (which was allways hot!).
Think travel lodge, then add superior!
We never had any noise at all, despite it being new years eve during our stay. No lager louts or unwelcoming guests etc. The main road outside was not herd due to double glazing.
Rooms were very warm, too hot if you put the radiator up full!
Cleaned daily by polite friendly women, and your money left etc was not touched- bin emptied daily and fresh towels.
The site of the motel is excellent- 5 mins walk into aviemore, a few minutes to happy Haggis chip shop and local indian resturant.
On site Taverna italian pub/resturant- excellent!
nice friendly staff in bar and a couple of games machines to keep kids entertained whilst you enjoy a couple of pints!
The food was very good if a little pricey- plenty of take away Pitzas too at around £10 for most, being 14"- plenty for 3!
Resturant was allways busy which is a good sign!- book in for an evening meal!
we will definatley return on our next visit to Aviemore, as everyone was so friendly- thanks again reception staff for finding out about skiing conditions each morning for me.
Now if i had one comment to improve things-
Get WiFi for at least the bar if not the motel!
Everyday we spent time at another establishment in town having food and drinks so the kids could get on their laptops!
This would have been money spent at your place had you WiFi.
Perhaps something to consider for the future?
We will return- and would certainly recommend others stay here!
Room Tip: Ask for a mountain view!
