Good pit stop
Pros:

It was n close proximity to Alton towers which was the reason for our visit. We had breakfast in the pub attached which was a lovely newly renovated pub. The staff was lovely in the pub in the morning.

Cons:

The rooms are very dated. Although they look clean, there was a lot of mould in the bathroom and a massive amount on the windows

Lovely staff, comfy rooms & good food
Pros:

Staff were really friendly & helped wherever they could. Food was good & arrived very promptly

Cons:

On Saturday, the kitchen closed at 9pm - I hate being one of those people that order late or close to the kitchen closing but we had been out all day & didn’t get back to the hotel until 9:08pm. We had to get McDonald’s for dinner!

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.
