    Quirky diner serving delicious snacks 24/7 is a highlight!

    fantastic access to parks and attractions for city explorers

    The DIY breakfast was a highlight with a large variety in an awesome kitchen, making my stay feel personalized and inviting, and the nearby Pishiobury Park provided a beautiful green space just a short stroll away for leisurely walks. as a solo traveler, I really appreciated the comfort and cleanliness of my double room.

    The bedroom door could use a physical lock or chain for those who like to feel extra secure. the electronic lock doesn’t give much peace of mind. The concept of a DIY breakfast might not suit everyone, especially those expecting a traditional service. if you’re not a fan of cooking in the morning, that could be a drag. the room could have benefited from a ceiling fan or air conditioning, as it tended to get a bit warm at night.

    Unique automotive theme, 24-hour accessible kitchen, American diner breakfast room

    Rooms can get quite hot, even with provided fans!!! Limited local dining options mean you might find yourself stranded without a cab!!! Those wanting a traditional hotel feel might want to look elsewhere!!!

    limited breakfast options

    The diner was a proper gem, serving up fluffy fries and all sorts of tasty bites that had me raving! Plus, being able to peek at those stunning Morgan cars was a cracking bonus, making it a unique stay all around.

    The only downside was the occasional roar of planes overhead, which got a bit annoying, but it didn't really dull the shine of our stay.

    Unique and Fun Automotive Experience

    I had an incredible stay, surrounded by a stunning collection of Morgan cars, which truly made it feel like a car lover's paradise. The quirky American diner-style kitchen was perfect for grabbing a late-night snack or preparing breakfast at leisure. Melvyn's warm hospitality added a personal touch to our experience, making us feel right at home. The only downside was that the breakfast selection was a bit basic, but overall, it was a memorable experience.
