Welcoming and helpful staff, good facilities and the amenities I needed. Also a great location close to the centre and the station. Great value all round, and I will be back on my next trip to Lancaster.
United KingdomHotsl is still in lockdown and so an evening meal and breakfast wasn't available.
United KingdomLovely Spacious rooms, will definitely come back for a proper stay in the future when things are hopefully more normal and we can have breakfast as well! The staff were doing a great job under difficult circumstances.
United KingdomThe staff member who checked me in was nice and welcoming, the room was clean and spacious with a nice bathroom, big mirror and an extra heater. The location was the best thing about it.. close to everything in Lancaster centre. Won't give it a low rating because I see how hotels got affected with the pandemic, hope they can fix the little issues as this hotel with such location can offer better experiences.
