Good:
* Nice welcome

* 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
Bed - super comfortable
Dining - good menu options and the food was amazing. Our waitress was a delight
Checkin - staff were less than welcoming
Checkout - excellent he smiled and was very warm
clean and comfortable centrally situated and great parking.
Breakfast was too expensive $25 for cereal and fruit.
Hot water was far too hot when you turn the tap on.
Floor flooded from shower. shower curtain really useless.
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
