Location good
Shower mouldy, kettle toaster fridge etc in the bathroom area needs a door to block off the toilet. Toilet not working for 1 night, was fixed promptly when alerted.

The staff were friendly and the layout of the buildings was good.
The room was old and tired, Cupboard handle broken, long carpet threads a trip hazard and the bathroom badly needs renovating. Not enough power points, had to fill the jug in the bathtub. Rooms not very soundproof and we were woken very early on a Sunday morning by next room occupants.

Location, hot shower, big room, toiletries, privacy
The room had a cigarette smell.
Though the room was big, it felt congested because of an additional bed (we didn't ask for)
The fridge and the cutlery were right next to the bathroom (not something I'd prefer)
My hubby could literally feel the springs in the bed.
5.0
Quite a spacious room, the bed was firm which I prefer.The walk into Bright along the Canyon track was nice.
We were there 4 days, didn't see the staff at all. Had to empty our own trash, no housekeeping services other than, clean towels available from reception. The bathroom was very dated with loose tiles that came off the floor,it was very cold in the room and the bathroom heater turned off after a few minutes. The restaurant is only open for coach tours, so there is no choice but to eat in town. Pets are permitted I think as there was a dog staying in the room next to ours, with its family. This is the first time I have experienced a motel that doesn't have any housekeeping service, I would expect to at least have the towels changed and trash emptied Monday to Friday.

It was clean, walking distance to town.
Freezing outside, heater didn’t work. Nightmare. Emergency contact number was on reception door, but not in the room. Next day they upgraded us. Honest to say, we expected refund. It ruined our day, due to cold, we hardly had any sleep.

Great comfortable rooms, loved the doors out to the gardens.
Need to put more effort into cleaning outside areas and cobwebs.
5.0
Outdoor facilities were nice. Great location close to town.
Old and run down room in desperate need of a renovation. Brown everything. Yuck blankets on the bed. Cracked tiles, messy paint work, everything falling apart. Extremely uncomfortable bed that dipped in the middle and gave me a sore neck. No privacy. Had to keep curtains closed or else the people by the pool could see into our whole room. We ended up leaving early due to being uncomfortable and sick of it.
5.0
Basic room with decent beds - really needs a revamp as is still stuck in the 1980
Very dark rooms - need the lights on at all time with little natural light

the location
Not welcoming, arrived 4pm Friday afternoon to find the reception closed and key in letterbox.
5.0
The location was great and the garden area beautiful to sit in. The staff were helpful and nothing was a problem when I asked. The place appeared to be operating with limited staff, given there were so many places requiring staff.
Unfortunately the wifi was not great which was disappointing as I needed to complete work. This was compounded by the poor mobile coverage in this spot.
4.0
The staff were prompt to respond to enquiries. Bed was comfy enough. Good place to be warm and dry for a night. Staff ensured heater was on and room warm prior to arrival which was thoughtful.
The kitchen facilities are right next to the toilet and the bathroom sink is the kitchen sink. The kettle doesn't fit in the sink to fill up, the mugs were dirty in the cupboard and the tea towel had food marks on the corner, so even washing the mugs again before use could not be confident that the tea towel was clean to dry them.
No microwave either. Fridge behind the bathroom door which is a pain to use.
There were spider webs above the curtains and both people that stayed in the room do not deal with spiders well.
There was a smell in the room that was unpleasant, unsure where it was coming from. If I had to guess would be the drains in the bathroom. Even after spraying it was still pungent.
There is also a lack of power points, no power to charge devices such as mobiles on bed sides, only one next to the tv plug, behind the tv, apart from bathtoom/kitchen which is not convenient and only one plug.
Overall place is pretty dated but if you are wanting a cheap place to stay for the snow season that's dry and warm this was an ok option for my last minute booking.
8.0
Value for money, especially in school holidays. Comfortable, spacious room opening to a garden setting. Good facilities, although a microwave would have been nice. Quiet location right near the riverside walks and within easy reach of town. Very pleasant.
Room was a little dark, needed lights on most of the time.
