Spacious rooms with kitchenette & washing machine.

Our room was quite new and spacious with a washing machine as well as a kitchenette, lounge and outdoor private balcony. The restaurant meal was also good. We would stay again.

Convenient secure parking within a gated perimeter of the whole complex. The adjoining pub was great for dinner and even a bottle shop located on the premises. The rooms were excellent too. Highly recommended!

The lady at reception was nice but some of the other staff were quite rude and condescending. There is also a motion sensor in the room that turns off the aircond if it doesn't detect any movement after a while, this is ridiculous as it is very hot in Derby and for the price of the rooms it should be a given that they are always cool. The pool was also out of service due to a possible contamination but there was not enough notice or information provided to us or other guests. The rooms while clean need maintenance, example changing door handles chipped paint updating linen not using the backup room blanket. There should be appropriate linen on the beds. (the linen you see in the photos is not the linen you get. also the balcony door is not very secure potentially could be left unlocked and given the high crime rate of the area is a huge risk. Unfortunately, there are not many other accommodation options in the town so the hotel is able to charge ridiculous prices that does not have the service or quality standards to match. This also means quests will continue to stay there. It would be nice to stay there for once and not have any issues. I feel for the Manager as many of these things are fixable but seems the Owners don't care so doubt anything will change.

We stayed in the motel Queen room and it was very spacious and luxurious. Beautiful outlook over the mud flats and very clean. Food at the pub was pricey but delicious and the buffet breakfast on Sunday morning was spot on. Great pool area, not much shade unfortunately. Very secure parking and great spot in town

This property appears to be quite new. Car park felt as safe as possible, located in a central, gated car park requiring fob to both enter and exit. Nice vibe around the rooms. Room quite large with kitchenette - cooktop and microwave plus fortunate to have a washing machine. Easy to self-cater. Bed comfy and shower good. Small pool looked inviting.

Staff were very friendly but unfortunately the rooms weren't the best, management didn't want to know about problems and we were charged for extras even after i was told i could have the extras months before the visit without any mention of extra charges. They did give a discount on usual rate apparently but still not happy. There are limited places to stay in town so I'm guessing this is how they stay in business
