Value for what you pay.
Pros:

We have stayed at Butlers before and what we liked most was the friendly and helpful staff and the breakfast is really good.We got a really good room this time which opened out onto the car park.
The hotel is in need of a good makeover but the bedding and towels were spotless.We go there when we go to Headingley for the cricket.It is a 5 minute walk to the ground.Parking is free and is behind the hotel.

Cons:

The shower in the room was not very good.Just a trickle of water came out.

Pros:

Only good thing was it was near to headingly stadium.

Cons:

The room was VERY dated and not very clean. There was thick dust under the bed. The bathroom had cracked tiles on the floor and was generally grubby. It was not a pleasant place to stay.
