Perfectly adequate for a stop over on our journey.
Pros:

Very conveniently located for our trip.
Pleasant staff. Room was spacious, comfortable double bed with crisp, clean linen. Towels remarkably good quality. Hot power shower. Basic in other respects, but it was just what we needed for our stop over. Very affordable, too.

Cons:

Carpets a bit used. Bathroom basic, but clean.

Great price
Pros:

Location was great for the Karting Raceway

Cons:

No Air Con and barrier locked in the morning (no reception available to open ) which meant getting away early needed to be done via an alternate and longer route.

Great for a stopover
Pros:

The staff were really friendly and helpful! I was able to check in at 1:30am and when I couldn't turn my shower on they fixed it straight away. Excellent value for money.

Cons:

Some fixings were quite outdated and it was very hot. The window restrictor was broken so I didn't want to leave my ground floor window open overnight, but they did supply a fan. It's on the "wrong side" if you're traveling northbound on the M1 but it's only 5 minutes to the junctions either side to turn around.
