good, efficient, value for money. I will stay there again if I visit the area.
Pros:

Self check in worked flawlessly, spacious room, very good friendly service at breakfast. Plenty of parking space.
Very good value for money.

Cons:

Back of the building where the parking is, is painted a hideous colour, but that is pretty irrelevant really!

Staff wee friendly and obliging, and room was comfortable.
Pros:

The breakfast choices were great with continental style, or hot cooked breakfast available, and set you up for the day. The room was comfortable and serviced daily if requested. There was adequate free parking. The free wifi was a little bit in and out. Self check in was easy to manage.

Cons:

There was a bar and restaurant advertised, but didn't see either except for the breakfast room. The area itself was a little run down, but OK as a base if you had transport.

Hotel Dalesgate Review
Pros:

The member of staff that served breakfast was very pleasant and nice mannered.

Cons:

The Hotel was next to a very busy road so was quite noisy with traffic at times.
The hotel was very tired and dated with the decor showing it's age.
The shower took ten minutes to get warm and when the sink taps were used the shower stopped working completely.
The basin sink plug was to small so the water just ran away which when shaving was somewhat annoying.
The windows were dirty and in need of a clean.
The cooked breakfast which supposedly was given a high rating on booking.com was IMHO very average so was a massive disappointment.
There were signs suggesting that there was a 'Bar' which didn't exist.
The cost of £80 for the room was way over priced and definitely not worth the money.
Would I recommend this hotel to others the answer would be absolutely NO I wouldnt.

I will consider re-using end of the year when return to the area but will look at alternatives also
Pros:

Breakfast was nice, lady serving was kind and hospitable.
There was an error with our room and only one bed when paid for two. A quick call to the helpline and they give us access to a room not in service due to needing minor repairs so was thankful for that. The room was okay in all honesty was just cosmetic touch ups needed which was not something that was a problem to us.

Cons:

As its self check in, there's no staff to actually monitor whats going on in the hotel and there was people playing loud music, shouting, partying into early hours of the morning so I had no sleep with a long drive to the other side of the country early in the morning
