Pros:

Staff were lovely, comfortable bed

Cons:

Shower leaked, only decaffeinated coffee in the room, lighting in the room was complicated - took 5mins to work out how to turn on due to not knowing two cards were needed in the slot. Then unable to turn bedside lights on without full lights

No AC in two years
Pros:

The hotel was fine for the price. The three stars has to do with the fact of the lack of air conditioning. We stayed here two years ago and the signs said the AC was out of order. Turn up this year and the same signs are still up, with a fan placed in the room. So clearly they do NOT ever have AC and have no intention of fixing it. Lucky for us the weather had cooled a bit but had this been a few weeks ago during the heat wave I would have been really annoyed.

Good value, easy to reach the hotel and good breakfast
Pros:

The hotel was clean and staff were friendly and helpful. The family room was a good size and clean. The breakfast was really good.

Cons:

There was no air-conditioning on the hottest day of the year. The staff did their best with supplying fans to our room. The sofa bed had a thin mattress and it was uncomfortable.

Pros:

Right next to the football ground.

Cons:

I'd noticed that again, the air con is still not working as per our last visit. Although there was a fan in the room & the armchairs by the bar are in a worse state than the last time I visited the hotel.

Good value pitstop
Pros:

Stayed overnight visiting the area at half term. Perfect pitstop for a night or 2. All areas clean and the size of room offering for 2 adults and a teenager (on a sofa bed) are generous. Bathroom design offers added privacy. Staff were excellent and very attentive. For the price we paid, £62 for 1 night including breakfast and parking for 3 people I was very impressed!
