“Good value.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 March 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed one night. Unlike a prior reviewer, we didn't find the Fountain Court to be all that outdated. Some features may not be brand new, but everything was well cared for and very clean. The room was large. The kitchen was set up to be very usable. The desk/chair setup was excellent for for computer use, writing postcards, etc... ( I don't like always having my laptop computer actually in my lap.) Location is good. If you're worried about a noisy TV from a neighbor, don't be. In our room at least , the maximum volume was low enough to be annoying -- my one criticism. My husband's hearing is very good, better than mine, but even he was straining to hear it. Still, we recommend this facility. The positives far outweigh any negatives.

Stayed here Feb 2011,room was clean,but the temperature was 34 deg and no air conditioning,there was a fan available.Close to all amenities.All the motels are of good quality for what we get in the UK for the money and the service is excellent.Swim pool towels provided,motel is one street back from sea front, was quieter than those on the sea front as it is a busy road at times.Enjoyable stay.

“Spacious and well-equipped”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 February 2011

Room 22. Delighted with the amount of space for a studio room. Drop-out couch for extra bed was handy to sit on for in-house meals and watching TV. This was ground floor and there was some walking about noise from the room above but I believe one section of this motel has been sound-proofed for this. An upstairs room may be better.

“Outdated motel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2011

I stayed one night in this motel. The staff was very friendly and helpful - the staff was the best part of the motel.

I was quite shocked that the motel was so old and outdated for the price I paid. The rooms were clean but everything was just so old - starting from the ironing board and iron to the bathtub.

Even though the staff was so friendly, I would probably not stay in this motel again and I would not recommend it to my friends - just because of the style of the rooms. On a posivitve note, the room included a complimentary newspaper in the morning.

“Really good value, clean, good location, great service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2011

The Fountain Court is really good value for money. We had a two-bedroom unit that was large, very clean and comfortable. More than enough space for us three adults -it would have been great for a larger family too. Everything was fresh, clean and well kept. The bathroom was spotless and had a huge spa bath, and the kitchen was very well equipped. The location is OK: not on the Marine Parade, but consequently very peaceful, and only about a 10 minute stroll from the main streets. The service was exceptionally good -everything was done efficiently and in a friendly manner. The pool was small(ish) but OK for a quick swim after a hot day out in the town. Would recommend to anyone, especially for families and small groups.
