You get what you pay for
Pros:

The hotel was easily accessible from M6

Perfect for Alton towers
Pros:

This hotel is very close to Alton towers, it has a decent pub attached. We had two meals here and both very good. The cider slushie was needed during the heat wave. The hotel is older and tidy in places but they are charge a rate that accounts for this. Tesco, aldi and McDonald's all very close by ie in the same car park.

Cons:

Car park is shared with the pub and not the largest. Was always a space but only a few left. McDonald's drive thru gets busy and a traffic jam forms for getting into the car park.

Cheap Stopover
Pros:

It was the perfect location for us as an overnight stopover between Liverpool and Nottingham.
Plenty of parking. We arrived at Midnight but security was on hand to give us our room.
The bed was comfortable and the room was clean.

Cons:

The furniture was very tired in our room.
Quite noisy as we had the window open because of the heat, no Aircon!

Fair price for one night
Pros:

Room spacious, bed comfy.
Bad points - tissue paper stuck in window seals to perhaps keep out draft. Mold walls by window.
Seal around bath mouldy. OK for one night stay.

Cons:

Mould, rusty radiator. Paint quite chipped around room.
