Pleasant enough for a meal and good value
Pros:

Parking is always a bonus. It was a spacious public area. The bedroom was adequate and the bed was reasonably comfortable. Good shower too.

Cons:

It was a little tired in the public area. While the food was superb, it was nearly cold on Saturday night and so was breakfast on Sunday morning. A HOT cup of tea at breakfast would have been nice but the staff didn’t seem to understand the importance of boiling water! It was a little chaotic

Over priced, lack of care, awful food and staff who couldn't care less.
Pros:

Location was dodgy as Swindon is not a safe place in my opinion.
Breakfast was pre order but they didn't know the order and had to go out for milk.

Cons:

THE NOISE.
Not the disco, that was no problem.
The empty bottles being recycled in the early hours was way too noisy.
They didn't listen after we should out the window several times.

Good location, basic room which was cold
Pros:

The staff were lovely. The room was clean and had been updated slightly. Free parking on site. Good location. Nice bar area. Good breakfast (food).

Cons:

The room had a draught from the window, the curtains were 2 inches too short for the window and the draught was awful, the radiator made a clicking noise all night, the pillows weren't comfy, the bed was very small, the sink was in the room not the bathroom. The breakfast was lovely but the tea was awful, using the coffee machine for hot water doesnt work and the coffee was very dated and luke warm. We were told we were the only guests but doors were banging at 6 am!
