Great for a budget short stay
Pros:

Very easy self check in so no hassle about when you’re getting there. Was a comfortable bed and room, everything you need including coffee tea etc. Cooked English breakfast was amazing in the morning. Free wifi and parking.

Cons:

It is a little dated, wallpaper peeling off etc but for the price it is expected, not something that bothers me personally.

Cons:

The room was nothing like in the picture,the shower head was broken there was a black residue in the shower,the window in the toilet was broken the bulb in a lamp was not working a the room itself was really bad, it’s more like 20£ a night not 90£… I was trying to get some kind of help from the stuff but they said they can’t move me nowhere at this point …It was a horrible experience and the girl I was with don’t wanna talk with me anymore…

Pros:

Makkelijk inchecken dankzij duidelijke informatie. Kamer ruim genoeg voor een paar dagen. Pub op loopafstand.

Cons:

Kamer aan drukke weg. Centrale verwarming kregen we niet uit, erg warm gehad. Men reageerde wel snel op vragen hieromtrent en hebben e.e.a. wel tijdelijk kunnen verhelpen.

We booked the hotel based on the website photos of the rooms which had no semblance to our room
Pros:

Nothing...dreadful place

Cons:

Where do I start..
The room we were given had limited head space and at 6ft 3 I couldn't use the toilet without crouching. The bed linen had stains and when we were getting ready to go out, there was no water to the toilet, wash basin or shower. We reported this to staff who said this was due to other guests using the water. We had to go out for our evening meal in Saltaire without washing or showering.
On our return from the evening out, my wife decided she couldn't sleep in a dirty bed and at midnight we left the room and went home, cutting our holiday short.
I have sent a message to the hotel asking for a refund and havnt had the courtesy of a reply.

It’s a good, cheap alrounder with excellent access to the Pennines and beauty spots. If you’re out all day and you just
Pros:

Bedding was incredibly clean and it’s exceptional value. Good size rooms with en-suite bathrooms. The breakfasts are plentiful and good quality. The staff and helpful and supportive.

Cons:

Unfortunately it’s a little threadbare in the rooms. The mattress wasn’t very comfy and the bedroom carpets and bits of the bathroom weren’t clean. My room spent of old smoke residue on a low level.
