Friendly, comfortable stay. Good value.
Pros:

Spacious and comfortable room. Looked like it had been recently renovated. Friendly staff. Took the trouble to show us how to get back into the building after hours (we were attending a wedding nearby).

Cons:

Only one set of towels in the room. Inexplicably, despite asking for an additional towel as we were going out to a wedding, when we returned later no towel had been provided. As the hotel is unstaffed overnight, this was unresolved.

Quiet, comfortable room, well located for visits to local friends and family.
Pros:

We use this place regularly as have friends locally. Room is quiet and comfortable and whenever we've had breakfast its been good, though we didn't hang around this time for breakfast.

Cons:

Slight problem with the air con this visit, and being in a heatwave, room was fairly stuffy, but the management were aware and were due to fix it the next day. Otherwise, happy with everything.

Warm and comfortable stop just off the motorway
Pros:

The Chequers Inn is located on a road junction but we didn't hear any traffic from the room. Easy to check in, room was clean, well furnished not over fussy. The bathroom had a good shower/bath and toiletries available to use. Breakfast was good, enough variety to suit all needs. Value for money, we had a good price for a night stopover. It's in a good setting, plenty of space to park, staff friendly, tea/coffee/water, iron, hairdryer.

Cons:

We arrived just after 9 due to plane delay, and the restaurant was already closed. Had to go back out in the car to find something and would have been good if the restaurant offered a plate of chips or a sandwich just to cover those arriving late not by design.
Would also have liked two sets of towels, we only had one and I'm not a fan of sharing a bath towel. By the time I'd noticed no staff to ask.
Confusion with breakfast, paid in advance but not showing on screen so a delay in accepting. Not sure who at fault, whether it was the booking online site misinformed them, but it was cleared up.
I now know to be aware of these and would definitely stay again. It's close to where we needed to be, value for money and the room was comfortable.
