    Unfortunately, the Wheatley needs quite a bit of money spending on it to bring it up to scratch. The carpet on the stairs and bedroom hallway was filthy. It is in desperate need of a good clean. The sofa in my room had stains on it which meant I didn’t want to sit on it. The bathroom needs a complete overhaul with the porcelain H from the hot tap falling off all the time and the lino not being fitted, just laid down. No light above the shower so it was a bit dark and dingy.

    The staff were all very lovely, one lad took my case up to my room and one of the cleaners carried it down. The bedding was immaculate and the pillows smelt fresh unlike some hotels where you can smell that they’ve been used a lot.

    Whilst the room and bedding were clean the decor is a bit tired. The kettle was on the floor as lead didn't reach the top of the chest of drawers and due to uneven floors (old building and we were right at the top) it kept switching on and off. It did work though.

    Location, we attended an event in Sandall Park. It was a good price for a large room for 3 people

    The property is situated in the centre of Doncaster so easy to get to lots of places. The bed was super comfy and clean as was the room in general. Modern TV, bedside lamp, plenty natural light into the room with bee convenient large mirror. Tea, coffee and kettle in the room. En-suite bathroom with mirror was very clean.

    The coffee at breakfast was instant and not ground/bean, picky I know but I like my coffee.

    The breakfast was great, hot and tasty. Plenty of TV's and great if you love sport, the location was right near the centre, easy to go anywhere. They are open to the public when serving breakfast and can get busy.

    the lack of evening meals --we were given to understand these would be available, but it seems only at weekends. Also, only one choice of cereal at breakfast---we would say the cooked part of the meal was very good.

    Mattress on the bed needs replacing but that being said, we slept okay. The property is a little tired and could do with updating but fine for what we paid.

    The hotel was good value for money, the room was basic but clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and professional. We paid extra for breakfast but it was worth it, we both had full English and it was very tasty.

    The room was sparsely furnished. The radiators were turned off when I arrived and, even after turning them on, the room was on the cool side. I doubt that they had been bled for a while. No shelf or towel rail by the wash basin. The bathroom was spartan, with no shelf and only one hook, that was broken. On arrival, the staff were vague about when breakfast would be served.

    The cooked breakfast was excellent. The bed was comfortable. Plenty of hot water. An adjacent bus stop for the service into the town centre.

    Wall paper coming off, draws open wouldn’t close. No low Mirror to get ready in. The shower was fine, just couldn’t get it right one min it was boiling hot, you had two mins between to was before noooing hot again. Stayed room 9 at top with own bathroom. Maybe just touch up walls, the holes in wall and the loft to be shut.

    I thought it was good value. The pub is a nice place and good atmosphere. The room was clean, the bed was comfy.
