Room was large and comfortable with a Spanish Euro theme that works well. It was a suite so the separate bedroom and living room was well organised. Room was very clean and the bathroom was large and modern. Excellent hot water and shower pressure. Quiet at night with good sound deadening overall. Nice continental breakfast a bonus. Parking is a bit of a free for all, though, with no allocated slots. Very good staff.

Excellent location and great staff

Went to Sale for the weekend and stayed 2 nights at The Matador Motel. Older style motel but spotlessly clean with all usual amenities. Great staff, knowledgeable and very friendly. Breakfast included and although only a Continental breakfast it was plentiful. The Motel is well situated to walk to the town centre, the Lake, The Wedge and the Art Gallery. Also free parking. Highly recommend.

Great place and good value!

The Matador is a great place to stay in Sale. The staff are very friendly, the room was spotless and the breakfast was great! It’s very good value too.
Thank you for another lovely stay. Antony and Yvonne

This hotel is well located in Sale . The bed was very comfortable and good parking. On the downside the room was cold with the heating noisy and not very effective. The TV remote did not work with the television in the bedroom and there was a lot of mould on the ceiling in the bathroom.

Lovely stay - the pool was great and the motel within easy walking distance to a good range of eateries. The room was clean, well-appointed and dark for sleeping. Would have been good to have seats outside the room after a day of driving. Would definitely stay again.

Staff were so friendly and helpful. Made it a pleasure. This might sound silly, but in much more salubrious places we’ve stayed, there is only one chair. The Matador had two around the table, plus one at the desk! Too easy. One of us didn’t have to perch on the bed.
Could do with a bit of a freshing up with paint work here and there but the bathroom and toiletries were super. Including “Who Gives A Crap” loo roll!!

Nothing not to like

One of the best country motels. Right in town, 2 blocks from the shopping centre and supermarket, over the road from the Port of Sale and great breakfast included in the price. There is nothing not to like

Clean room, good bathroom and comfortable bed. They let us check in slightly early which was appreciated on a very hot day. The continental breakfast was more than adequate.
