Excellent - value for money, very clean, comfortable bed, spacious room with good amenities
Pros:

Lovely clean and spacious room. We were there for 2 nights, room only. Very competitive for the area. Location excellent for a shopping trip into Sheffield. Dove toiletries supplied. Good tea and coffee tray with Biscoff biccies! Loads of parking. Reception staff were warm and welcoming and very chatty which was lovely. A truly Yorkshire style welcome from the staff!

Hotel staff let us use room to prior to going to a wedding and very helpful.
Pros:

Staff very accommodating and friendly

Cons:

Room had a bit of a fusty smell in it on entering.
Breakfast looked good and was nice, but plates were cold so food ended up a bit on the cool side.
