Comfy bed, carpet in room could do with a hoover, bits kept sticking to my feet. Bathroom was clean. Drunk annoying man in bar swearing at us, can’t believe staff were still serving him! Otherwise staff nice and helpful.

Good points. Family room size was great, it was nice and dark. That's were the positives end. The breakfast service was terrible, not the usual MacDonald experience, ended nearly an hour early without warning to accommodate a football teams stay. The window in the room did not close fully, leaving a draught on our youngest. No management present when requested.

Easy to access location. Nice building inside and out. Lovely staff. Inside layout and signage a bit confusing. Need a code to leave by vehicle, but not to enter (make sure you remember the code, or just ask reception if you forget). Sometimes had to wait for reception staff if it was quiet. Room was excellent: clean, functional and nice!

Well placed just off the motorway Rooms well priced I don’t like having to pay an extra £13 to ensure a refundable status for the booking The lift has a strange odour as does the 3rd floor around the lift area The atmosphere of the hotel is slightly underwhelming and the staff differ in service level provision
