Rubbish certainly felt conned over breakfast when one had paid for it and got nothing.
Pros:

Breakfast was unavailable because it started at 9 am most people start work 7.30 -8.00 so no alternative for me , even though I paid for breakfast. Bit of a con to be honest, even though the host said a lot of people come back for breakfast, I work 30min from Howden so that is a hour travel for breakfast. Not going to happen.

Cons:

Put the usual please clean my room on the door handle , totally ignored over 3days , not bothered didn’t care .

Cons:

we booked this property as it had breakfast with it but on arrival there said they weren’t doing breakfast I did say we paid for breakfast with the booking but there said the breakfast was free which wasn’t the case it was with the price. We were told there was lots of places to go for breakfast but again there wasn’t any where only 1 cafe but didn’t open till 10am and were fully booked.
So anyone booking this hotel be careful as there still advertising it with breakfast

Pros:

Great location for the gig we attended at the nearby hall. Plenty of parking spaces.
Hotel staff were friendly and we got in our room early. Room was clean with a great shower and comfy bed. Tea and coffee available in room. There was a karaoke night on which was great fun at the end of our evening. Breakfast was fab. All in all great value for money, good hotel and lovely people.

Cons:

Nothing
