Great quality overnight stop
Pros:

Ground floor level access and facilities. Food and dining available after hours of travelling. Such a convenient location close to route alternatives. Everything catered for in an overnight stop and more. Very pleasant surroundings

Cons:

Nothing really, just a couple of mentions. Nice walk in shower but no hand or safety features only a plastic suction stick on handle, so dangerouse for even partially disabled. Slip mat not sufficient needs two. No proper mirror in shower room only tiny square hand held on windowsil, no good for a man's shave. Window blind had to kept down all the time due to constant internal view from busy outside area, needs blind with partial vision block that can be changed to full block for night.

Pros:

The staff and the food ; both exceptional 👌 Room very comfortable

Cons:

Given the very warm weather , our room was just a bit too warm and we couldn't cool it. Not a big issue, but better climate control would be lovely

Was excellent from start to finish. Excellent food. Comfy room.
Pros:

Modern, clean, handy for motorway.

Cons:

Just one thing - they need to put a bath mat in the shower. They were very slippy and someone could have a bad accident.

Modern confortale great personal service
Pros:

I travel frequently around the country for business and by chance identified your hotel when looking for an alternative.....And was pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness , modern premium facilities and big rooms.
Probably what really set it apart was the staff service at breakfast. I went to the dining room to book breakfast and asked where i could make coffee but had to go outside first to take call. The lady staff member said not to worry and broight me coffee outside ...she dd not have to but going the "extra mile" was so welcoming Thankyou

Cons:

No Aircon ....
