Very good budget hotel
Pros:

Budget hotel but the best you could expect for the low price. Very good size room and good shower. Bit of a creaky floorboard above when people walked on it!

Great quick stay
Pros:

A cheap stay on a motorway! Did what it said on the tin! Bathroom needed repaint and faint smell of cigarette smoke but very quiet, receptionist and housekeeping were lively. Bed comfy and clean.

Pros:

The property is a hotel at a service station on the M1. It cost me £45 for a night, so I really can’t complain. It’s basic, but has everything you would need for a quick stop off to break up a drive. No frills but reception lady was lovely and friendly.

You get what you pay for
Pros:

Bed was very uncomfortable. The noise of people walking about in the room above my head was terrible, thought there was a herd of elephants in there

I will stay If desperately in need from tiredness
Pros:

Reception staff very welcoming booking & check in was easy but our overnight stay was not peaceful as we wanted. The corridor was noisy from other guest, dog barking after every few minutes in the next room as well as the ceilings squiking from people walking in the room upstairs floor. It was a restless experience even though we were very very tired from long distance travelling. Beds are comfy & bathroom was ok shower was good served our need. Tea & coffee provided which was handy in the morning I will only stay again if I can’t drive from tiredness & extreme desperate in need. House keeping staff were also helpful during checking out.

Great value for money
Pros:

While one could nit-pick (receptionist seemed surprised to have to explain the set-up to us, we'd never been before, broken light in the bedroom flashing and clicking, fan in the bathroom not working, whole place pretty shabby and tired-looking) nonetheless the bed was comfortable, the black-out was good, there was no road noise and the shower was smashing. Overall, amazing for the price. I'd go back.
