    A no frills hotel but great value for money. Staff were lovely, room exceptionally clean. Nice breakfast before setting off home. Would recommend and would be quite happy to return

    No bread left at a late breakfast in one of the days.

    Clean and comfortable room. Great bed. Friendly, helpful and efficient staff on Reception and on room service. Spacious Reception and breakfast areas. Good atmosphere for a very busy hotel.

    The charge for the car park is cheeky because unless you have a car it is very difficult to get to and from this hotel.

    You are charged to park, even after you'd paid to stay at the hotel. Strange smell in the corridor and rooms. Double bed was two singles with a noticeable gap between.

    Useful location, generally clean, had all the conveniences you'd expect.

    The outside looks so tired!! The pictures give an impression of a very modern and clean front but honestly, it could do with a lick of paint and general tidying up. The interior decor is also very dated, it felt like a bit of a time warp and I’d stepped back into a motel from the 90s. Which was odd as the room was very modern inside! Also, the bed was rock solid. It may have actually been more comfortable sleeping on the floor.

    The interior of the hotel was tidy and the room was very clean and well presented. The restaurant was nice and breakfast was lovely!

    The bed felt like a piece of concrete covered with cotton wool pads. Rock solid.

    Really lovely staff, Gemma in particular went above and beyond to help us out. Hotel was clean and tidy. Free parking with plenty of spaces available. We did not eat at the hotel but the food menu looked reasonably priced and they offered room service.

    My daughter left her glasses in our room we came back to the hotel for them they hadn't been logged and they are very unhelpful at the front desk. Ok the receptionists are young late teens or early 20s but the professionality isn't great. So daughter can't see properly because people couldn't be bothered to look in lost and found or housekeeping said they will call us we live in London

    Comfortable bed and pillows

    Breakfast was not good at all £12 per person for food that had sat for way too long under a heat lamp, the first day my husband asked for fresh bacon and this was accomadated, the second day he asked again to be told by the waitress that the chef said the rock hard stuff under the lamp was fine and that he would not make any more. It was inedible!!! Overall our party spent £96 over 2 days on breakfast. We have written a complaint email to the manager 5 days ago and have not had any response The advert states that there is parking on the first page it does not say that it is chargeable unless you click to look at all the facilities of the hotel, this is a bit misleading and cost £6 per day

    It was clean, staff were polite except one particular MOS comfortable beds, nice complimentary toiletries.

    Receptionist needs more training people approach etc

    The carpet on the corridor dirty having a huge big white spot near to our room and a bit smelly. The receptionist from the day doesn't have people touch no matter how friendly and smiley you are you hit a cold ice wall maybe she should work a bit at people skills.
