Multiple reviews mention stained carpets (including what appeared to be blood-like stains), yellowed mattress topper, dirty carpet and bad smells; cleanliness is a clear weakness.
Service
9
Several reviewers note helpful and responsive reception/staff who assisted with room changes and were friendly; service is consistently praised despite other issues.
Location
8.5
Location described as secure with good parking and convenient for business users; negatives include split building layout (rooms across car park) and some noise from the car park/lower rooms.
Room Quality
4
Rooms described as dated/shabby with stains, unpleasant smells, dark lighting, some plumbing/toilet issues and uncomfortable beds—room quality is below expectation.
Amenities
8
Breakfast/bar facilities and parking are positives; some practical amenities are lacking or poor (no phone in rooms, weak desk fan), but overall basic amenities function adequately.
Value for Money
8
Mixed comments: a few guests felt overcharged or got less for money, while others found pricing fair and food prices reasonable; overall value leans positive for budget/business stays.

Breakfast is repeatedly described as very good with a wide selection; bar/menu is limited but passable—F&B is a relative strong point.

Clean but smelt of weed with noisy cleaners
Pros:

It was ok. Clean

Cons:

Person in the room next door kept smoking weed so it was all I could smell. Cleansers are super loud and have no off button for anyone who works night shift

Underwhelming!!!
Pros:

Breakfast was ok & the female receptionist was lovely & professional.

Cons:

The location took me HOURS to find!! The Satnav struggled & the signposting is non existent. This needs to be addressed and perhaps mention DL as a landmark to make it easier for your guests to find.The rooms are cold & dirty with gaps under the room door - not good with stained manky, dirty, smelly carpets

Reasonable hotel, but difficult to find
Pros:

Room clean and all facilities necessary for a one night stay. Evening meal good, breakfast ok but could have been warmer.

Cons:

Quite noisy at 5am, room (6) next to corridor where dirty laundry stored - assume laundry collected at 5 am, noisy trolleys. I did request a quiet room on booking. Also very difficult to find - post code does not get you to the hotel. Directions need to be given to follow a sign post for David Lloyd Leisure when your sat nav gets you to the post code
