Good

It was good that we could check in anytime after 3pm, as we needed a late check in.
The room was ok, it was clean and had all the things you need for an overnight stay.
The beds are not comfy, the pillows are really hard and the springs in the mattress were sticking up.
The walls are very thin and we could hear next doors conversations well into the early hours of the morning. Nosie on the corridor was loud during the night too.
I suppose you get what you pay for, we only stayed for 1 night and it was enough.
Hotel is in poor condition. Rooms smell ( I had two different rooms as the first had an unsavory stain on the nets). Shower has no water pressure whatsoever and cups were dirty. Bed was cheap and rock hard !!
Staff were friendly - especially reception ( although a bit of body odor isn’t really the thing to smell when arriving). Place iz a total run down - location is ok but site has been let hi when it was a refugee hotel - I think they have a nerve saying it’s been refurbished.
Could potentially be a nice hotel with a great location near Standidh and Parbold
We enjoyed our stay after we went to our original booking snd was advised by Police and Community Police Staff not to stay there, the rooms were very clean (family room), but very warm, it was quite close to all places we wanted to goto, would stay again if i was in the area
The staff are absolutely lovely but the first room was dirty and blood stains on the sheet the receptionist was very apologetic and moved us to a nicer and clean room
When I checked the bed the sheet had been tucked in so much at the bottom that the mattress was showing about a foot away, so I literally had to make the bed again
When I told the girl she was so mortified and said that she would explain everything to her manager
I said for all the inconvenience that we should be compensated with a free breakfast and that is exactly what they did
I cannot fault the staff they were lovely and we had a lovely fresh made breakfast
Don't know if I would stop again but all inall not too bad a hotel there are places to eat nearby but you need a car as the bus service is not brilliant
Clean, close to the shops and motorway network. Shower power was slow.

Disliked: Room comfort
Poor amenities
The bed was really uncomfortable and lumpy and resulted in back pain and not much sleep.
The shower pressure was really weak and the water was in the shower and sink was cold. The low water pressure in the shower meant it was more of a trickle and I couldn't rinse the shampoo out of my hair properly.
Budget accomodation - accepted. However...
1. Apart from the person who initially booked us in, the reception staff were uncommuinicative and, in one case, just sat at the desk eating food - very unprofessional.
2. The mattress was terrible, probably the most uncomfortable we've ever encountered. And only one pillow provided per person.
3. Bathroom shabby, poorly fitted out (How anyone could leave the sealant around the sink looking quite so amateurish is a mystery). The hotel was supposedly refitted last year; they clearly never reached the room we stayed in.
3.
Not quite what we were expecting. If it wasn’t for Hickory’s Smokehouse restaurant I’d be more scathing. Probably one of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed in. I would not care to repeat this experience.
Don’t know area just stayed overnight as long drive, hotel spacious and clean, big hotel clearly half empty (from availability) so why do they put you next to another occupied room - so you can hear laughter/talking loudly until after 01:00!
Messaged hotel through app weeks in advance for early check in no reply, then called hotel to be told cant do early check in over phone told by staff member "just arrive on the day you will be checked in early no problem"
Then on the day no early check in & rooms wont even be ready to check into on check in time, partner had to get ready in the lobby bathroom, we was late to an event due to this early check in failure from hotel.
Long haired male staff member rude to multiple guest whilst we was sat awaiting to get room, after normal check in time 2 hours past arrival, then same staff member rude to us at check out the following day.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Basic hotel good value for money.
Room was dated but clean and comfortable beds. Unfortunately very loud noise like a fan throughout the night. Also other guest very noisy and loud in corridors throughout the night.
