Wont be staying again
Pros:

Proximity to A66 was great for a stop en-route to Scotland

Cons:

The first room we were given was dark, dirty, smelly, paint crumbling off the walls, damp, very low standards. I appreciate we only paid £60 but cleanliness shouldn't be dependant on price.
We asked to be moved and was offered a nicer room up stairs, it was so hot, no A/C, when the windows opened the noise from the restaurant extractor fans was all we could hear. Very dusty behind the bed-side cabinets when I went to plug my phone charger in. Low standard on carpets, needed a clean, scuffed paint again. Old furnishings. Damp in bathroom.

Pros:

The receptionist Theresa Green was exceptionally helpful and understanding particularly when we requested an earlier room check-in after explaining my partner was unwell following recovery from recent medical treatment.
Thank you Theresa

Pros:

Staff were friendly, food was really good.

Cons:

The room was dirty on arrival (it got another hoover and dust). The room was in need of sprucing up as it was very dated. Not sure what was 'plus' about the classic plus room and although it is allowed in thd industry, I have never before experienced two adjoining twin beds with two single mattresses zipped together.
At one point the reception staff said go through to the dining room and then we could hear the kitchen staff moaning about guests walking in when it says wait to be seated.
