Service with a smile, Free WIFI and parking, ooba comfy bed and a nice breakfast
Pros:

Lovely welcome on arrival. The staff go the extra mile to deliver a 1st class service. Breakfast included in the price represents value for money. Topped up heated food servers throughout breakfast service. Provides an evening food service and the branded eatery on site.

Cons:

We have stayed many times over the years but I do think the price has gone a little on the high side so are more likely to shop around. The Travel lodge on the M4 is a budget price with comfortable bed and services en-site.

Super Preis- Leistungsverhältnis- tolle Möglichkeit für eine Zwischenübernachtung
Pros:

Zentrale Lage an der Autobahn, trotzdem nicht zu laut.
Sehr sauber und ein super gutes Preis - Leistungs- Verhältnis. Mega gut für eine Zwischenübernachtung geeignet.

Cons:

Es fehlt für mich ein wenig die Gemütlichkeit für einen längeren Urlaub - es ist ein Durchgangshotel. Daher muss es auch nicht Cosy sein!
