Support an independent hotel
Pros:

Location, cost. It was very quiet. Easy to check out. Able to access the room early. Room was clean. Parking on site a big plus. Staff very helpful.when.query phone call made before arrival

Cons:

Decor a little tired, airless ( the weather was exceptionally warm). However value for money and exceptional location outweighed any negatives. Very difficult for an independent hotel to survive

Lost booking and no refund.
Pros:

N/A

Cons:

When I turned up at the hotel they had no record of the booking but managed to find an inferior room for which I should have received a £20 refund. However, over a month later I’ve still received nothing. The staff have been friendly enough since I raised this issue but whether the booking mix up was the hotel’s fault or booking.com’s is not my problem - I just want my refund.

Stayed before, will stay again
Pros:

Ease of check in, location, room facilities

Cons:

Being a larger guest, the bathroom for me in this particular room was tight, but I’m sure more than adequate for an average person.

Be careful ..not as advertised
Pros:

Location to train station & where needed to be, clean

Cons:

TV in room didn't work & the other residents appeared to be of "permanent male residency" & loitering at side area of building. The smell of "abnormal " smoke in lift & corridors lingering about. In my opinion should not be advertised on booking .com

Clean and great value for money room
Pros:

Cleanest room I've seen in a while, the (double) room looks better than the photos. The fridge is a convenient addition to my liking. There is no limescale in the kettle which is always a pleasant sign of a good hotel. The male receptionist was welcoming and made me feel like a honoured guest. The location is close to Wakefield Westgate station, also close to the city centre (i.e. no noise from people) in about 10 minutes walk.

Cons:

Perhaps the stairs and floors are a bit squeaky like any other aged British houses. I can also hear people walking with luggage and the next door talking loud and coughing, but this again is kinda expected, you may need to bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. It would otherwise be what I expect of a 10/10 hotel/inn, not fancy but nothing else to fault.
