Positive Reviews
positive:
Handy roadside location appealed to drivers
This property’s location in a motorway rest area off the southbound carriageway of the M6 appealed to motorists as it offered ample free parking and there was an on-site petrol station. Furthermore, there was a coffee shop offering light snacks. However, those wanting a wider choice of eateries faced a drive to the next motorway junction. Drivers said it was straightforward to get to historic Carlisle city centre, regional attractions, sports venues and the wonderful Lake District National Park, a magnet for lovers of the great outdoors.
positive:
Reports of good customer service
The pleasant, obliging and professional personnel were a credit to the property and made check-in easy, according to many reviewers. Guests also welcomed the offer of discounts on selected food and drink at the motorway rest area.
positive:
Affordable rooms offered the essentials
The reportedly straightforward rooms were nothing fancy but were more than sufficiently comfortable and clean for a stopover. Many travellers praised the cosy beds and flat-screen TVs. The usually competitive room rates prompted many budget-conscious reviewers to say they got reasonable value for money.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Unpopular Wi-Fi arrangements
The offer of 30 minutes of free Wi-Fi access left some guests feeling disappointed because they faced charges for continued usage. Moreover, some critics claimed the network offered slow speeds and a patchy signal.
negative:
Claims of shortcomings in some rooms
Aging mattresses, bedroom carpets that could have been better cleaned, musty smells and stained bedding were among the minor cleanliness and maintenance grumbles that critics had in certain rooms. Others faced difficulties regulating the room temperature.
negative:
Too noisy for some
Noise travelled relatively easily through thin walls and caused a nuisance for some light sleepers as did the sound of slamming doors and squeaky floorboards. Road noise was reportedly detectable in certain rooms.
