What is the difference between a 3-star hotel and a motel in Bristol?

One of the benefits of reserving a motel in or near Bristol is budget-friendly rates. This means more pennies in your pocket for sightseeing tours. Often located near highways and airports, and with on-site parking, this getaway type is popular among road trippers. When you check in to a 3-star hotel, you'll get more than just a comfortable room to relax in. You'll also typically have access to conveniences like business facilities and a fitness centre.

Do any 3-star hotels in Bristol have a pool?

Expedia has some good 3-star choices in Bristol where you can take a relaxing dip, such as Bluebird Ocean Point Inn and Linekin Bay Resort . June, July and August, which are the summer months here, are perfect for checking in to a 3-star hotel with a pool. If you want the warmest weather for your poolside holiday, book in July when temperatures average from 15ºC at night to 24ºC during the day.

What 3-star hotels in Bristol have an on-site restaurant?

Book a room in one of Expedia's Bristol getaways with an on-site restaurant and you won't have to venture far from your accommodation when you're feeling hungry. Linekin Bay Resort and Boothbay Harbour Oceanside Golf Resort are two 3-star properties that have this convenience on the menu. The first also comes with amenities such as a garden and a terrace, while the second includes a pillowtop mattress and hypo-allergenic bedding.

Do any 3-star hotels in Bristol have WiFi?

Make use of the WiFi at Boothbay Harbour Oceanside Golf Resort and easily post your incredible photos of Bristol. Linekin Bay Resort is another 3-star hotel where you can get online while on the move. WiFi may be included in the price of the room or available for a supplementary charge, so don't forget to check before you book.

What 3-star hotels in Bristol have parking?

A couple of our favourites are Linekin Bay Resort and Boothbay Harbour Oceanside Golf Resort . These 3-star escapes in Bristol come with parking, making it a breeze for you to jump behind the wheel and go. Leave the city for a day and explore new places farther afield. Portland Head Light and Portland Museum of Art are among the fantastic attractions that you can easily reach by car from Bristol.

"I want to start by mentioning our host was actually hospitalized with a health issue when we were visiting, so we just appreciated her efforts to make sure we could get in and have a place to stay -- I'm sure there might have been some extra small touches under different circumstances. Good: spacious shared spaces, big yard, would be nice outdoor living space if the weather cooperated. Very functional kitchen space. Lots of paved parking. Easy to get to town or the highway.

Ocean Gate Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the camp-vacation feel of property. Everyone was wonderful. Don’t underestimate the mini-golf course… so much fun! Will return for sure."

Linekin Bay Resort

8/10 Good

"We just wrapped up our sixth stay at Linekin Bay Resort, and it continues to be one of our favorite family vacation spots! Bringing our grandchildren here has become a tradition, and every year we make more wonderful memories. The pool is fantastic, the views of the bay are absolutely beautiful, and the grounds are impeccably maintained. The rooms are comfortable, and we appreciate that most have air conditioning. Our only small suggestion would be to improve towel replenishment and trash pickup. We found ourselves making a few trips to the front desk for extra towels, and although we were told to leave our trash on the porch for pickup, it wasn’t collected during our stay. It’s a minor issue and certainly didn’t diminish our overall experience. A heartfelt thank you to the entire staff for another wonderful vacation. We always feel welcomed, and we’re already looking forward to returning next year!"
