Mixed!
Pros:

Well positioned for a motorway stop. The hotel has some new renovation plus older facilities so experience was varied, with some areas in need of refurbishment.

Bar/restaurant extremely popular and good choices. The robot servers amusing for all.

Cons:

The room was comfortable BUT extremely noisy with a disco in the downstairs function room until late.

Lovely. Would stay again
Pros:

The staff was lovely.
Very well spoken and really polite

The bed was big the bathroom was a decent size.
Fan, iron, hairdryer
Lovely view
Curtains blocked out all the sunlight so had a decent sleep with the room been so dark.
The breakfast was lovely
£139 for bed and breakfast so I thought was decent
Check in and out was easy and fast

Cons:

The corridors are really dark.
And the shower in our room wasn’t great and door to bathroom was getting stuck on the floor so was heavy to push open.

The main entrance is on the back of the hotel so it doesn’t look so nice on the outside as I imagined it would. But it’s lovely once inside

Pros:

I was there for a wedding, so the wedding..

Cons:

The curtains in the room were hanging off. Reported to reception and he just said "I'm aware"! No hot water in the morning until around 10:30am. The staff are miserable because they're overworked. One member of staff on a bar where there was around 100 guests. One member of staff on at breakfast in the morning, when the hotel was fully booked.
