My experience at the Sphinx Hotel Motel was quite enjoyable. The ambiance was unique and reminiscent of Egypt, creating a fun atmosphere. While the food was good pub quality, I did not find it extraordinary. Overall, the service was attentive, which enhanced the dining experience, making me eager to return.

I had high hopes for my stay, but unfortunately, it was quite disappointing. On arrival, I faced issues with checking in and accessing my room due to a faulty lock. While the bed was comfortable and the sheets clean, the overall condition of the hotel left much to be desired, particularly the dated bathroom and lack of basic amenities. There were indeed a few positives, including a decent shower pressure, but many improvements are necessary.

My stay at the Sphinx Hotel Motel had its ups and downs. While the beds were comfortable and the overall ambiance reflected a unique Egyptian theme, I encountered several issues that detracted from the experience. From the old air conditioning and worn bathroom fixtures to the difficulties with the remotes, it was a bit of a struggle at times. Although I appreciated the ambiance, the management needs to address several shortcomings to enhance future stays.
