A hotel should not offer facilities that are not fit for purpose
Pros:

Location and generally clean

Cons:

The sofa bed was not fit to sleep on. Feel metal bars through the mattress, at 1am ended up having to close the sofa bed and put mattress on the floor . Advised staff in the morning and they just shrugged shoulders as I handed them the key

Pros:

Close to all amenities, wanted to go to Alton towers early so stayed here the night before.

Cons:

Rooms were clean but very dated which is fine but the bed was without doubt the most uncomfortable bed I have ever "slept" in. Hardly slept a wink so no I wouldn't stay there again.

Comfortable budget stay
Pros:

Good size room, clean and with everything I needed for a short stay, friendly and helpful staff and easy check-in and out. Comfortable bed, helpful having restaurant on site and they can serve in your room too. Good price.

Cons:

Room and en-suite was a little shabby, with fan noisy and the window let in a lot of noise from road outside, I am glad I brought ear plugs with me.
