Place is fairly dated but there's a small kitchen there you've got microwave kettle and a toaster. Beds are nice and firm, had a much better sleep here than the hotel i stayed in the previous night at 3 times the price. I'd stay here again no bother.

The best value for money I have ever come across. Large room with kitchenette ( fridge, microwave, two ring cooker, kettle, sink) En-suite bathroom with bath, power shower and W>C, towels supplied in room. Continental breakfast included in price. All this for just £31 per nightt highly recommended.

On arriving I was the outside appearance was a bit of a shock and I doubted wether as a single female traveller to stay there was some rooms where the curtains in the windows was torn down , broken chair outside , some of the other guests was outside let's just say was enjoying a few pints etc but I gave it a benefit of the doubt and went and checked in so I could see what the room was like before making a disision wether to not stay.
Arriving at check out the duty manager checked me in and gave me an upstairs room , not the one which was requested but was sorted at another time.
Rooms are ok , bedding and towels clean
Can say about the shower power etc as I couldn't climb in the bath to have one and another guests comment at breakfast of \"don't worry there are cameras every where \" made me feel a little uncomfortable easy.
Breakfast if included is continental style went to do some toast and all the bread was mouldy , took some pictures and showed the member of staff on the desk who asked how did I know its mouldy etc mm come and check for yourself , I will give him credit he did go to the local garage and get a fresh loaf ,
Tip though if you have any other milk ie semi skimmed , oat, almond etc take your own as they only provide whole milk ( blue label) although they wouldn't of known my dietary requirements it may be nice to cater for other requirements., so black tea and a minute amount of milk on cereals due to health reasons .

After driving seven hours I arrived only to be told by a receptionist with a passing acquaintance with English, that the room was no longer available. Due to the sizeable event I was attending all the other hotels in the area were full, so I drove back the same night. Not quite living up to their mission statement hung on the wall which states they aim to ensure the happiness of all guests.

Absolutely awful. I spent 30 minutes in the room before deciding to book a travelodge down the road and left as soon as possible.
I’m not a fussy person and can sleep anywhere but this has to be the worst place I’ve stayed, (attempted to stay).
The smell was awful. The carpets were disgusting and sticky. Bathroom full of mould and rust. Stains on walls. Pictures on the walls ripped.
Genuinely felt the room was a health hazard which is why I decided to leave.
The only good thing I can say is the receptionist kindly waited for me to arrive as I didn’t get there until late.

Need to contact someone to discuss a refund.
Pictures on hotels.com are faked and nothing like the reality. Even the picture of the outside of the hotel is faked.
Happy guests lodge? I’m sorry but that should NOT be the name.
Please please avoid. Save yourself the trouble and spend a tiny bit more for guaranteed cleanliness and comfort.

I have stayed here many times before and not really experienced any issues. This time the check in wasn't to my satisfaction. I booked a studio room with a double bed only to be given room 16 with 2 single beds. The receptionist also asked for ID and took a photo of my drivers licence which I'm sure is a breach of GDPR. Communication with receptionist could have been better. Also thought the security could have been better as the front door was left ajar all thought out my stay. I am due to stay here x2 further times this year so hopefully things will improve.

This hotel is absolutely disgusting, it’s like something out shameless!!! I took my 3 kids to watch the superbikes we pulled in to the car park to with 3 people drinking out a whiskey bottle swearing & been roudy..

The receptionist was very rude!

The room was discussing mould on the walls in the bathroom & a big old poo stain down the front of the toilet, I requested new sheets as the ones provided had been used as they had brown marks all over the pillow cases form somebody’s foundation or fake tan

The fridge was berry loud & kept me awake half the night

This hotel is clearly needs to be unconditioned as a hotel

Parking is easy, free, small and simple. The hotel is basic but does the job, decor within the rooms is a little tired/would benefit from a freshen up (front doorbell and lock broken, a loose wall light etc) and cleanliness was satisfactory but not the highest standard. Simple tea and coffee in the room, nice fresh towels and staff are extremely helpful & accommodating. Our original room's tv was faulty- staff were quick to respond to issue and when it couldn't be repaired we we're upgraded to a slightly larger room swiftly at no extra cost.
Simple breakfast options of toast, cereal, tea and coffee and fruit juice available in the morning included in the price of the room.
It's a friendly no frills hotel, does the job, we will use again

Firstly it’s worth noting the 1 night stay cost £31.50 so I don’t expect a 5 star hotel. Check-in was quick and easy and the room was warm & clean. The bed was comfy although I always take my own pillow which helps. To be honest the room is tired and in need of some maintenance; door lock difficult to operate, windows don’t close properly allowing traffic and wind noise in, desk fan with no front guard, shower rail broken, badly stained shower curtain. On the up side there is a kettle with tea & coffee, fridge, and TV. I can’t comment on the breakfast because I left at 05:00. I wouldn’t take the duchess (wife) but, at that price, I’d definitely stay again.

The location was excellent. I needed somewhere to break my journey walking along the towpath of the Trent-Mersey canal, and this motel is only a mile north of the canal, at the midway point between the Anderton Boat Lift and the end of the canal at Preston Brook. I don't think I would have been able to complete the walk without its being where it is. Facilities were good (like an Extended Stay property, with a kitchen; bed was comfortable; convenience shop nearby was a bonus.

We didn't use the shower but the shower curtain didn't look as clean as it should be. The room needed a proper deep clean. Very basic hospitality tray. Towels were so small they wouldn't leave anything to the imagination!

We knew that at the room price for the area we weren't going to get a luxury experience, but it fell pretty short of what I'd really expect.

Unclean

Not sure how this hotel has 8 stars. Very unclean. The sheets were dirty, other than being desperate to get the kids to bed we would have found another hotel. My husband slept on a towel with another over him as the bedding was dirty.
The bathroom had grime along the edges and the whole place just felt so grim. I imagine its perfect for a stag do or something where the guest are too drunk to notice.
The breakfast was some bread and a toaster with cornflakes left for you to help yourself. Not sure how that can be policed for cleanliness. Safe to say we didnt eat it.

My room was not cleaned/checked, cups not cleaned removed and when i checked out there was no one to give me a receipt at 0700... For £80.00 PN i have had better experiences in hostels in Vietnam!!!!!! Discusting. It should be reported to the HSE!

The Hotel was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Some of the furniture in the room had seen better days and spoilt the overall impression of the Hotel. The window had no curtains, just a blind, which was broken. As soon as the sun came up light streaked through the blind straight into my eyes, waking me up far too early. The breakfast was OK, just. Beans on toast, bacon and sausage, the only egg choice was boiled, cereal and jam and butter. Other than that it was adequate for a one night stay.
