Will definitely stay again!
Really impressed with the accommodation. The Matador has been part of Sale for many years and the current owners are providing a high standard. It’s clean, comfortable and very convenient to the theatre and great eating venues. Staff couldn’t have been nicer and the complimentary breakfast was excellent.

Accommodation and food very good. The lack of an electric blanket was disappointing as the weather was a bit cold at night.

Check in was easy and efficient, and it was raining the next morning when I left and I was met at my car door and key taken from me. How easy was that - Oh thank you for the chocolates, I am enjoying them now as I am writing this review :)

Parking can be an issue if the Motel is fully booked, because the parking is first in, and sometimes there are no parking spots left.
