Dont bother.
Pros:

Clean room with a comfy bed.

Cons:

Staff customer service appalling. Couldnt be bothered to serve a single pint of beer at 10.55pm. Id driven over 250 miles in horrendous weather. A decent pub would have served a pint and looked after their customer. This pub staff preffered to sit together having a drink. Wont stay here again and had breakfast at a nearby cafe instead of here.

Shower pressure is very low.
