Southgate Motor Inn
I always enjoy staying at the Southgate when my husband is in Wlgtn hospital. It means I can park my car and walk across the road without having to navigate through heavy traffic or limited parking. The receptionist is always super helpful and friendly. I highly recommend staying here.
