"Overall, staff were very friendly and helpful and the beds and pillows were comfortable."

7.0

The room with a view and that the rooms were next to each other.

The bathroom was not upto clean standards. The plugs to charge phones near bed were not uk plugs maybe an adaptor provided or explained on website that one maybe needed as phones being charged are important to people nowadays and easy accessible when asleep.

We had a long wait for coffee in the morning. We skipped breakfast, and we only wanted coffee and pastry. The coffee bar was not manned.

"Worst hotel I've stayed in"

4.0

Possibly the worst hotel I've stayed in. The lock on the door was broken, I can't even begin to describe the stains on the chair! Decor wasn't just dated it was peeling/broken/mismatched. I also wasn't told there was a code to exit the car park, I had to request info about breakfast, and when checking out I wasn't asked anything about the stay. Breakfast was very poor too. Avoid this hotel!

I should have known, it was so cheap, but the place is very run down and tired. And it is a motorway service hotel, it seemed to do well for British Gas engineers staying there. But I won’t be back. The windows don’t fully seal so there was a slight bit of motorway noise. Bathroom while clean is a bit worn and rusty. Hot water was intermittent. Furniture probably not updated since the 90s
