Its location and quietness. Breakfast chaotic. No-one to check you in find you a table. Tasteless bacon, scrambled egg, coffee. All tinned fruit.

This is a basic hotel which is reasonably comfortable, with clean rooms that the traveller or visitor needing to keep an eye on budgets will find meet their requirements. We had a peaceful night and a traditional buffet style breakfast in the morning with cereals and cooked eggs suasage and tomato. It is not a case here of disliking elements of the hotel as appreciating that some parts of it are ready for redecorating/refurbishment. Having said that the hotel remains good value for money

I liked the price upon booking the room. It was £29 for a one night stay midweek. The hotel was old and outdated, poor decoration, cracked sink in the bathroom. I checked out early at 05:45 and had to search the hotel for a member of staff to check me out and was then told the system was down.

Friendly welcome and location very near to the m6 There was nothing to really "not like" It was good value for money. On principle I like the quoted cost to be what I pay to the hotel reception. Please make your website clearly state any "add-ons" on arrival.....it was only £2-00 but there's no need to hide it in the terms and conditions.

I liked leaving the best about my stay at this hotel. We didn't like having to sleep in a bed that had a broken base. We didn't like being unable to get anything to eat after 9.30pm. We didn't like not getting a response to our complaint from the Hotel's head office or customer services.

The staff were helpful and friendly. The ambiguous information we got. The fact that we couldn't pay by Debit Card without a £2 charge. That is ridiculous.

Reasonable breakfast and parking was ok. On arrival was asked how I wanted to pay and was told a charge of £2 would apply for payment on credit card so I say I would pay on debit card and the charge would still apply!!! I am sure in some obscure small print it says somewhere that a £2 charge applies to pay any other way than cash but certainly not clear. I use booking.com a lot and have never experienced this before.

Drinks were reasonably priced and service ok Rooms were to hot as the heating was on on a warm day. The residents bar closed early. The room was very basic compared to other hotels that are the same price. The kettle was not fit for use.

The breakfast was good although the coffee was instant not real coffee or even nescafe! It was very tired, needed lots of updating, not very clean and not very modern. Also there was an extra charge to residents to use the pool or gym facilities.

Absolutely disgusting!! , gave me a smoking room on bottom floor, when I don't smoke and neither does my partner, there was an ashtray on the window cil full of fag ash and ends!! Bathroom was disgusting with hairs in the bottom of the bath! Would not reccomend here, I previously read the reviews and there was mixed opinions, so I thought I'd try it, but should of listened to be honest !! I was charged £2 for using my card which I wasn't told about! And charged extra for checking out late after I'd asked for a late check out when it was booked!!! The staff where rude and I'll mannered !! I honestly wish I hadn't have stayed!!!

I wanted a comfortable base to return to after working during the day. It provided a comfortable, warm room with good bath/shower and tea/coffee making facilities. This was all I really required. It was good to know that the restaurant, bar and spa facilities were there if I needed them but I didn't require them on this stay. The people in the next room were very noisy at 11.30pm before going out and at 4.30am when they returned. Polite notices requesting guests to be considerate toward others would be appreciated by all. Overall the hotel provided what I needed and I would stay there again. If you are going to upgrade anything, start with the televisions.

On arrival the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was ok but the ceiling in the bathroom was covered in mould and the tiles could have done with a good clean. The food in the restraunt-Not brilliant !! Veg lovely but the chicken felt like it was a couple of day old!!. Breakfast - well if you like a good walk round the restruant first thing in the morning your in for a treat!! its all over the place surely a little re arranging could be in order !! The whole Hotel felt like it needed a good face lift the carpets were stained in all areas the windows in the main area you couldnt see out of. Its such a shame as there are a look of hotels around the same area and unfortunalty for the Britannia the Premier Inn looked a lot more appealing!! Sorry Britannia pull it together it could be great.

Only staff who were as helpful as could be, hotel a big disappointment! I was extremely disappointed as no heating in bedrooms during the day, though communal rooms where staff were always warm. Had to spend time in reception area and bar just to keep warm when temperatures in January were below zero! No hot water in room at all not in the evening or morning resulting in very cold shower. I was there due to a hospital visit and as solo traveller usually spend lots of time in my room! Was not comfortable in bar where I was the only woman just to keep warm and eat as could not enjoy room service, never experienced this before in any other hotel and I travel a lot both for business and leisure. Would never stay there again. Decor tired! Very disappointed. Clearly just a hotel for business people who would spend most of the day in a warm conference room. Not recommended for families!

Ideally placed for the motorway, and a reasonable price. Constant droning noise through the night from some sort of electrical equipment made sleeping difficult.

Decent breakfast, warm clean rooms, good staff Wireless broadband is useless, very limited reach into hotel rooms with availability only gauranteed in public area. However even in the public area it was unusable. Don't believe you'll be able to work from the hotel via wireless, you will not!! The hot water in the shower was literally scaldingly hot, don't leave children alone with this!!!

The bar area was shabby & not well set out. The food was poor with not much choice. The beer was flat , I think this was due to bad cellar management. Also there was no music or atmosphere. Twice I had 2 go and find staff to man the bar.
