Categories

Cleanliness
7.6
Many reviews praise 'clean' rooms and bathrooms, towels and housekeeping; however there are several significant negative cleanliness reports (spiders, blood on bedding, occasional poor housekeeping), so cleanliness is slightly below average.
Service
9.2
Service is a consistent strength across reviews: numerous mentions of very friendly, helpful, professional and exceptional staff; score slightly elevated to reflect strong positive consensus.
Location
8.6
Location is frequently described as convenient/ideal and good for motorway access; a few mentions of proximity to main road and bright carpark lights lower it slightly but overall location is a positive.
Room Quality
6.8
Multiple complaints about room issues (cold rooms, noisy or broken heaters/aircon, rock-hard or dipped mattresses, flooded shower, difficult doors) reduce room-quality score noticeably.
Amenities
8.6
Amenities such as free parking, lobby bar, room service options, tea/coffee and large TV are praised; some broken in-room controls (heater/remote) noted but overall amenities are good.
Value for Money
8.4
Many guests describe the hotel as good value or great value for money, though a few report feeling overcharged for poor experiences; overall value leans positive.
Food and Beverage
9
Food and breakfast receive frequent strong praise ('excellent food', 'terrific breakfast', 'chefs made great'), making this a clear positive category.
Overall Experience
7.4
Overall impressions are mixed but generally positive: many recommend or plan to return due to staff and food, yet several disruptive room/cleanliness issues temper the overall experience.

I paid too much for this awful stay, it was so bad we didn't stay to have a shower.
Pros:

The staff were very good, but there were not enough of them.

Cons:

The room was cold and the wall heater would blow hot air and then cold.
There were no biscuits in the room.
The door was very difficult to open.
The dining room did not have enough tables, and even though the "outbreak" area has tables, they are far too low to eat a dinner from them.
My dinner order was wrong, twice.
