The hype
Travelers are consistently shocked by the high-end room specs (soundproofing, bedding, tech) given the low price point.
Mollies Motel
$90-160/ notte
Prenota se You want the cool factor of Soho House design without the membership fees or the pretension.
Perché piace così tanto
- Soho House interiors at budget motel prices
- Dyson hairdryers and GHD straighteners in every room
- American diner on-site with killer burgers and shakes
In sintesi: It’s a glorified roadside motel next to a BP gas station, but once you step inside, it’s genuinely chic.
Recensito da @wherejesstravels: I was blown away by the value here. For £45, you get interiors that feel like a members' club and a diner that serves incredible comfort food. It's the perfect stylish base for a Cotswolds road trip without the usual price tag.
