Clean room, friendly staff and a nice breakfast.
We had an adjoining door to our room which meant we could hear our neighbours in the passion of the night and the bed was a little less comfortable than similarly priced Premier Inn and Travelodge.
Otherwise it was good and we would probably stay again if in the area.

Far to warm. No air con in rooms just a plug in fan to circulate the warm air. Can open window a few inches but does nothing to cool the temperature. Someone's toe nail left on floor. Hair dryer didn't work. Breakfast was ok. Glad to leave to get air con in car. Won't be booking this place if it's warm again!!!!! Did ask staff not really interested.

Our room had no air conditioning and was above the kitchen, which made us both noisy and uncomfortably hot. The children really struggled to sleep, which meant no sleep for us either. Staff were nice and the room was clean but if only stay again in the winter months.

Accessible room was perfect. I chose not to have breakfast so not able to comment on breakfast or bar area, because fir my visit I was visiting family and had lots of activities planned with them. Room was clean and the walk in shower in the accessible room so much better than trying to climb into lowered bath to have a shower.

Staff are super friendly and helpful. I like the fact that the accessible rooms have a walk in shower opposed to climbing into a lowered bath, which some similar priced hotels nearby have. The location is convenient to where my family live, and away from the city centre, but adjacent to the showground, so depending upon which activities people wish to access, may impact customers choosing this venue.

The room was really cold. I have health issues and the heating was almost non existent and I was awake coughing with the cold from around 4am onwards. There were no heated towel rails or bathroom radiator and so following a shower in the evening the towels remained damp throughout the night. The reception / concierge was very good but at breakfast there were a lack of staff, cutlery, and tables etc… The overall experience was poor.

The hotel itself was way better than I had expected (room amenities, bar, breakfast, cleanliness, free parking - all great!), but unfortunately there was a fire alarm in the middle of the night due to someone smoking in their room, so an incredibly disturbed night’s sleep.

Poor experience - won't be returning

The carpets were dirty and desperately need to be replaced or deep cleaned. Sofa in room 207 had all stains on the edges and face.

Room 123 - Shower room was dangerous, the floor was slippery and had no grip on the tiles when wet.

One of the receptionist, with long blonde hair was very rude and everything was too much effort for her to do anything! Didn't even offer the meal deal with the pizza and automatically put it through as separate items, subsequently paying more, even though we asked for the meal deals. When questioned, she rolled her eyes back and went to storm off! Not very customer friendly or polite.

Evening dinner, we had 2 pizzas and they were under cooked and disgusting especially for the price of them.

Breakfast was awful, sausages were meant to be Cumberlands, but tasted like cheap pork ones and were badly cooked. Beans had been kept warm for too long and scambled eggs were sloppy.

Barely any orange juice and when asked, they said they'll get to it when they decide!

Would we come back?? Erm..... Definitely not, be a place to avoid

Would come again

As a small family visiting family in the area, we are really glad to have picked this hotel. They had no problems with us checking in at 7:30pm and had the room ready for us. The person who checked us in was super friendly too. The room was very clean and we had no concerns. We all enjoyed our breakfasts.

Excellent value stay

Excellent value stay. Clean room and bathroom. We were four (two kids, two adults) so quite tight with the sofa bed out but satisfactory for the price. Friendly staff that were always on hand. Quality breakfast with a good range of options (including veggie sausages on request) in a relaxed atmosphere with attentive staff regularly checking on the food, crockery and cutlery availability and presentation.

Great check in, receptionist perfect under pressure due to only 2 staff to run it all. As a result, they had a limited menu on. He recommended the new steakhouse next door, wonderful food and packed out.
Room was a long walk but worth it. Large spacious room, with everything you need, ironing board, Iron, Hairdryer, fan, large tv, more than enough tea/coffee/milk etc for 4 drinks each.
Bathroom was very clean and modern and with no need to hand stand to wash the lower regions thanks to a shower that can be held.
Can't comment on the breakfast as the storm was just starting and i wanted to stay ahead of it. Glad i did.

Not in this heat

We've stayed here before. Parking for our motorbike was great.
Check-in was easy. Room was clean. They offer a choice of pillows which is great.
Breakfast was nice, and even better that it's free.

The only issue for this stay was the heat in the room. We arrived at 9pm and the outside air temperature was 26°c. We walked in to reception and it was lovely and cool. We were told our room was on the first floor. As we walked up the stairs, about half way up, the heat just hit your head! We opened the door to our room and the heat was unbelievable. I double checked that the heater wasn't on, it wasn't. I went to open the window and it opens about 10cm due to the stupid safety feature. It was so cool outside, but the room was unbearable, and all we had was a fan, which doesn't do anything apart move the inferno around.

If they insist on having the stupid window safety feature (not all hotels do this) then they NEED to install air conditioning units, before someone is seriously ill with heat exhaustion.
