Room clean. When went for breakfast- no yogurt, almost no bread, no bowls for cereal/yoghurt. No normal semi milk. Tea almost optional. Told lack was due to being a bank holiday. Glad when another woman came and took over from me to ask for lacking items. Won’t have breakfast here again.

Lump of hair was in pillow. The hotel room smells. The staff was not friendly, can’t even leave a small carry on luggage for a few hours. Checkin was not until 3 pm and I was there at 1 pm.

There was no air-conditioning and the McDonald's drive-thru was just outside, so couldn't open the window. Everyones key card only seemed to work once! Ok for one night, but no longer.

The room was like a student accommodation.. very basic and no kettle facilities at the room. We asked for a kettle but no FREE tea bags, coffee sachets or no free milk.. The breakfast was too basic and is not worth £8.5 per person

The product is more basic than we expected given the price point (£105 for a double on a Saturday night in April). Overnight parking is £12 extra, kettle plus 2 coffee and teabag sachets and paper cups £6 extra. Surprised that shower cubicle emptied into the main room, ok for a couple but probably not suitable for just friends staying together. But room was clean, bed comfy and reception staff friendly. I dont think a room from a hotel chain can get more basic.

Like a hostel.

The people running it were very friendly on arrival. The rooms although feeling like a hostel were pretty clean. Unfortunately did not sleep well due to noise of the road and other people staying. Youths running up and down the hallways screaming their heads off at 3am obviously drunk or high. Wouldn’t stay again but was fine.
