Clean place for a stopover
It was an ok stay. The family room was massive which the kids loved, everything was just a bit tired and dated but clean which is the main thing. Breakfast was poor. Continental option was limited to say the least and the cooked to order option left something to be desired. Staff were pleasant enough and it was fine for a motorway stop but save your money on breakfast!

2/10 Poor

Awful
The room was very hot due to a massive radiator with an inoperative thermostat on the radiator. It was hot all night. The cold water to the shower was not working so the water to the bath taps and shower was scalding. The toilet did not flush. The hotel is shabby but I did know that before booking. The above issues were not acceptable however. I spoke to the manager and they said they would call me but no call so far.

A Basic hotel with lots of space in the room. The hotel and attached restaurant is a dog friendly place which was helpful., I wish Hotels.com would say that the extra fee the dog would be 15 quid. It would be nice to know this upfront. It would be nice to know up front that the parking fee would be 5 quid in addition. By the time we checked in it was too late (dark outside) to consider anything else. The attached restaurant offered a pretty hefty price for what was a very basic - almost sub-par burger.

One night stay.
I believe this room was an upgrade from my previous stay. Slightly more spacious with a bigger more recently refurbished bathroom. But no power to the comfortable reclining chair and a dodgy tv controller. Breakfast was partial self service but the cooked food direct from the kitchen wasn’t hot and freshly prepared. Whole stay was excellent value though. Great location close to the M6 service station and EV charging very close.

4/10 Fair

Probably a good hotel in the 90s.
Quite a dismal experience. All started with having to phone someone to request attendance at reception so that i could check in. A member of staff was walking past seeing I was waiting and didn’t mention a word. Then when someone else arrived after five minutes or so, I was advised that it would cost £5 for parking (not detailed on booking). Get to the room past the corridors that have not seen a lick of paint of had the deteriorating wallpaper replaced and things aren’t much better. Black marks on the walls, mould on the shower grout, dust in the light fittings, a TV from 2005.. it’s endless. Upon departure the next morning the breakfast was just as dire. Continental selection barely existent and the quality of cooked breakfast definitely isn’t aware winning as per their menu. For the price point they charge, steer clear.

Hotel satisfactory, but a few issues.
At check in, we weren't given a code to exit the car park. We assumed the barrier was automatic. On check in, clerk only took payment for 1 night. On check out, we were informed we hadn't paid. So we had to look at the email to see if an amount was due. The shower in room 204 was faulty. I had a lukewarm shower 2 days running. It also fluctuated to cold during use. I had informed reception on the evening of the first day, but nothing was done. THIS WAS VERY UNSATISFACTORY! Not what we expect for the money paid. The hotel was clean and otherwise comfortable for our requirements.
