Affordable and comfortable stay
Pros:

The bed was comfortable and the room very tidy. The staff were friendly.

Cons:

I booked through Booking.com and it said free parking, but when I arrived, I was charged £20 for the 4 days I was there to park because I had booked through Booking. com and not directly through them. Then do not advertise as free parking on the Booking.com site.

Cons:

Stains on the bedding
Lack of towels
Lack of pillows
Door couldn't lock it properly inside
Net curtains/curtains looked out dated and grubby

Table outside bedroom window to close when people sat out there smoking was looking in our window at us.

Paying for car parking was ridiculous

Disappointing!
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Excessively hot room. Opening a window just let in a lot of noise from the M4.
Good sized room, but poorly furnushed with just pne hard wooden chair, no drawers anywhere, just 5 coat hangars, bed sp close to the wall that you had to walk sideways to get into the left sode. Altogether a huge disappointment. Would never go back.

Hidden charges and lack of privacy
Pros:

Clean and comfortable.
Friendly staff.
Surprisingly quiet since it was on a service area nearby a busy motorway.

Cons:

There was a charge for parking (£5 per night) which I was only made aware of after I’d made a non-refundable booking.
This was a charge which was hidden in small print so I was really most unhappy about this!

There was a public footpath around the back of the hotel and our room was ground floor and at the corner of the building. That meant that, on a few occasions, when we were sitting in our room people were walking past our window, invading our privacy. On one occasion some rowdy teenagers banged on the window and rattled the window, trying to open it. This was very disturbing and upsetting. In fairness to staff on duty, they did go outside to try and challenge the perpetrators but the boys had already run off.

If I stayed here again I would book directly with Days Inn as the car parking would have been waived. I would also request an upstairs room to have more privacy (away from the footpath).

A great stay with a nce location, roomy, clean and quiet, but didn' appreciate the extra charges.
Pros:

Nice, quiet location. Similar, but better than Travelodge.

Cons:

Being presented with an additional £30 payable bill on arrival for parking and my dog, when I was under the impression that I had already paid for both.

Too basic and no air con for the price
Pros:

Not much to be excited about.

Cons:

No air con (on the day of UK’s heat wave). Room was hot and stuffy - hotter than outside. Very very basic for the price.
