Michael, United Kingdom

The view from the window was of a flat roof and air conditioning units. The room was a little warm, easily remedied by turning on ac.

Magpie2015, United Kingdom

Leisure centre and everything else in this place brand new. We enjoyed our meal - penne arrabiata and pea and ham soup (a meal in itself!) Order arrived very quickly, was tasty and staff service excellent.

Linda, United Kingdom

Excellent location. Pristine and comfortable room. Pleasant, adjustable room temperature. Nice sized TV. Very comfortable bed with a selection of different hardness/softness pillows to suit your needs! Clean, tastefully designed modern bathroom with huge shower room. Very polite and friendly stuff, definitely deserving hefty tips! And last but not least, excellent quality breakfast.

“EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉The breakfasts were AWFUL. No fresh fruit, no cold meats or cheeses, only fried food at the buffet (eg: no scrambled egg)., only sliced bread (usually still frozen). The coach tours were not separated in any way from the other guests and literally we were in a battle for the food (not helpful for anyone such as me, who walks with a stick) if breakfast was required before c. 08.30. Only two waiters seemed to be on duty for a full restaurant, and were actually running to keep up with demand. In our room, the hand-basin took c. 10 minutes to drain. We reported this on the second day (a Saturday), but as there was no maintenance man on duty when the message got thorugh it was not repaired until after we left.
눇The staff were helpful, cheerful and understanding. The bedroom was clean and readily made-up as we required. The evening meals provision was adequate (see below). We did receive a rebate for the breakfast problem. The hotel was convenient with bus-stops outside with access to Lancaster.

“Somewhat uninspiring”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room with Sofa Bed - Non-Smoking
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Poor and slow check in procedure which left us having paid for only one night out of two so our key didn't work for the second day. No one asked us if we wanted breakfast so we would have missed out on a breakfast offer had our server not helpfully sorted this out. So improved staff training needed. Wifi was not free and poor telecoms signals. Restaurant basic.
눇Comfortable bed and good size room.

“Great hotel, for short people, excellent service and food”

눉My partner is 6'1", the bed was way too small, his feet hung off the end of it. Room was clean and well proportioned. Whilst I would definitely stay there again if I was on my own, the bed was comfortable for me, I'm only 5'5", I'd probably look elsewhere if beds not improved, if it was the 2 of us again.
눇Staff, excellent, they could not have been more helpful Ate once in restaurant, partner is a chef in a 4* hotel, it's not often I get to eat better food than I get at home, this was one of those times.

눉The breakfast was good but the dinner was awful. I think it was designed for physical hard working men and those who will be or are already obese.
눇The room was great except that there was only one arm chair for two people and no chair at the desk from which to work, spoiling the room for comfortable living.
