Good: * Nice welcome * Nice size quiet room, clean * Bath and shower were nice * Public area's nice * Secure parking Not so nice * Area seemed run down * Hotel was rebaged Novetel which was visible on the poorly painted side of the hotel * Room wifi was atrocious - the speed in the bar was 3 times quicker than the room. You would not be able to work from your room - staff dismissive of issue * New TV with apps but none worked (lack of good wifi in the room) - Staff told us they were awaiting a box to make it work but we have the same TV and it just needs good wifi

We have a 7year old and a 10 month old. We hadn't been away over night for soooo long, so this night away was a huge treat. From the minute we walked through the doors the whole stay was fantastic. A wonderful welcome from Karma, made us feel so calm and relaxed. We loved our stay, both baby and our son had a fab time. Extra fun with the heritage side to the building. The beds were very comfortable and everything clean as a whistle. Looking forward to staying again. many thanks

Pretty ordinary motel. Decor very tired. Reception staff don’t go out of their way to help. Room not serviced - they change the towels but don’t make the bed. Overall pretty sloppy
