We enjoyed our stay but the TV was not viewable from the bed. It was anchored to the wall and not on a movable arm so it couldnt be angled for visibility from the bed.

The whole Motor Inn needs a lot of work. It is very outdated. From sixties. Some mould, paint peeling off, tiles missing in the shower base and the list could go on. But Bright is worth visiting. The towels and bedding were clean and also the outdoor pool was kept very clean.
We would not go back unless it is renovated.
