Bin sehr zufrieden und werde wiederkommen.
Pros:

Ich hatte ein kleines Zimmer im 1. Stock, hätte aber auch ein größeres im 3. Stock haben können. Da es keinen Aufzug gibt, habe ich mich für das kleine Zimmer entschieden. Es war für mich vollkommen ausreichend. Es gab auch einen Kühlschrank und einen Wasserkocher, sowie eine Auswahl an Tee und Kaffee. Die Lage war für mich perfekt, da ich Workshops ganz in der Nähe hatte. Das Personal war freundlich und es wurde täglich geputzt, sogar am Sonntag.

Cons:

Es roch ein bisschen muffig nach altem Haus, es stand aber ein Raumspray auf dem Tisch. Ansonsten habe ich keine Mängel erkennen können.

Avoid!! Pay for a premier inn at least you know what you’re going to get!
Pros:

There was nothing we particularly liked about the property, the outside area was very uninviting and run down. Although the property had been recently renovated it looked nothing like the advertised pictures or descriptions

Cons:

The location, it was very difficult to find, I specifically requested a ground floor or lower level floor due to my disability yet we were put on the third floor.
The bedding had LOTS of ‘questionable’ hairs, we arrived at nearly midnight after driving over 200 miles so didn’t have much choice but to stay! The property said that we had to pay when we got there but I assumed that we had paid via booking.com as the room was confirmed.
The room was advertised as a DELUXE double, it was tiny! Room (25- I think) it had yellow paint on the main wall. A fridge freezer a small desk and complementary water.
The parking is not near, it’s in a street away from the hotel, payable and no concession for disability/blue badge. This looked abandoned. But slightly safer than the street parking, which you have leave before 7am.
The bed was extremely uncomfortable, we could feel EVERY SINGLE SPRING, luckily I had taken towels with us and I slept on these instead of using the dirty bedding! The room description also mentioned something about being soundproof, it was not and we heard other visitors tvs and talking!

Oh the room had aircon which was probably the reason I didn’t choose to sleep in the car.
