    Decent place for short stay

    • Solo traveller
    • Room allocated on arrival
    • Stayed 1 night

    The air condition was noisy which is disturbing. The shower seriously lacks power.

    OK size room, beds were comfortable, everything was spotlessly clean. Windows open for fresh air (not all hotels allow you to open the windows)

    It was very stuffy because of the air con. View of a pylon.

    The breakfast, the size of the room, the bed, the shower. Such an easy stop over for the M4. Very quiet considering the proximity to the motorway. The kids loved it.

    There was a bad smell in the room, possibly drains from the sink or shower. The breakfast tables weren't very clean, there was food on the floor from what looked like the night before.

    The check in was smooth and welcoming even though we arrived late in the evening. The family room was larger than I had expected and the sofa bed was made up as requested. Overall the stay was very good.

    Bath/ shower panel is rusting on the toilet side, leaving sharp edges. I really don’t like the bathroom/toilet swing door - it takes up too much space and the latch is noisy at night. Charge an extra £25 for the dog, a dog friendly hotel should include the dog fee within the room charge. The air conditioning unit was noisy. The fan in the bathroom is noisy. The place could do with a renovation. Given the price - very good value for money!

    Hotel is in a convenient location. Food is served until 9pm, so suitable for a late check in. Menu is small but quality of food was great. Staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. We were allocated a ground floor room, which we had requested. Plenty of space to walk dogs. Clean, tidy room and communal areas. Brilliant price, which includes breakfast.

    there was a stain in front of the sofa on the carpet. Only 2 tea bags were provided we both drink tea, However the receptionist got us some more, see above this was a plus and minus. Breakfast was adequate food was nice though not much hot choice. I do not like scrambled eggs, fresh tomatoes or beans so meant just hash brown and bacon I do not normally eat sausages but these were ok I had 1 I do not eat bread so limited option would have loved a poached or boiled egg and some mushrooms.

    if you disregarded the motorway which you could barley see the view was fantastic. Bed was comfortable and bathroom was clean. A choice of pillows soft/ firm was a great idea. There were only 2 teabags provided we both drink tea when speaking to reception there was no issue as they got us 4 more.

    As above. As an ex hotelier and frequent visitor, I am unable to price match unless I go on booking websites.

    Have stayed here many times. A great location for visiting family. Always good service and friendly staff. Perfect for our needs. The only downside is as an IHG reward member, I can only get a better price by booking on Booking.com, so lose out on my reward point's.

    The parking situation was a faff. The fire alarm went off on Saturday night and completely freaked me out (not their fault I know? Was surprised that they could only offer scrambled egg, no poached etc.

    Handy for M4, easy to find
