"Hotel was located within a service station so plenty of amenities available. We ate in the restaurant on our first night which was nice and not too pricey. Rooms were clean but a little dated. Housing around sink was coming away but overall what we needed for our stay as we were out on both days and we got a great price for our two night stay. ยฃ10 to park was an extra cost we could of done without."

"This is a big fancy hotel. We have stayed here before. Itโ€™s well-maintained and the staff seem friendly. But there are details that made this a less than excellent stay. Our room was literally blocks away from the front entrance - our GPS got confused when we were planning outtingsโ€” so if youโ€™re not looking to get extra steps make sure to ask for a closer one when you check in. The bathroom was well appointed but the shower leaked and the sink was very slow to drain. There was an Nespresso machine in the room, but most of the coffee we were given was decaf. When we tried to order coffee to go downstairs they didnโ€™t have any paper cups. So it was good - but not excellent."
