Overall very good, would stay again

The bed here was very comfortable and much better than numerous Travelodges we've stayed in recently. Despite it being a twin turned into a double the join wasn't very noticeable and the mattress was very comfortable. The only gripe for me was the shower head did look aged and the drain in the wet room didn't clear the floor quickly enough so you're stood in 2inches of water by the time you've finished but grab bars in all the right places. As a wheelchair user I found everything very accessible and would stay again. You do need to go into the pub for check in and handing the key back. We didn't eat there but did plan to, maybe next time!

As a place to stay this is ideal it has easy access from the motorway network and a range of eateries on the retail park. The staff were more than pleasant and check in was easy,however prior to arrival i received over 20 emails requesting various things relating to the four rooms I had booked including an invitation to book breakfast, on-line check and departure. I made one booking but all four rooms were billed separately activating fraud alert at my card issuer that i then had to resolve. to say it annoyed me would be an understatement. I even phoned there call centre and they told me to ignore the online check in, get it sorted. The adjacent carvery that is owned and run by Marstons seem extremely popular with the locals the chap running it was clearly well known to the customers and his mashed potatoes were divine. It is a nice quiet place to stay.

Checked in in the evening and staff were helpful. Room was basic, which was expected. I did seem to have a problem with my key, but the bar and reception staff were really helpful to resolve. The Aircon in the room seemed to only produce heat (minimum temp 22 degrees Celsius), which made the room very stuffy. Opening the window was the only way to cool the room, but being close to a busy dual carriageway, road noise was then a bit load. At breakfast, there was only 1 staff member around for serving people, who definitely didn't want to be there and customers seemed to be a massive inconvenience for her. There were items unavailable and the breakfast overall just seemed to have a hostile and negative atmosphere. Avocado on toast with eggs was nice, the pancakes were a rip off (3 measly small pancakes with some mushed frozen berry thing on them). Overall, room and breakfast was a bit expensive for what it was, we did sleep okay, but breakfast was a huge let down, and worse still, I saw that we could have got a significant discount on breakfast if we'd have booked it with the room, which was not an option on Expedia.

The hotel facilities were acceptable for the price. However, there was some noise from outside late at night, and the hotel lacked an elevator, which could be a bit inconvenient for travelers with heavy luggage.

Good Location. Bad Hotel

Although advertised the hotel does not have Aircon. And unable to open the window as it was damaged The hotel itself is next door to the pub, thus there are no staff in the hotel itself. The staff did not want to know, and actively ignore any issues as they are too busy in the pub There appears be little or no maintenance in the hotel. There were two contractor groups who had been there for a couple of weeks and had complained daily about issues, but nothing had ever been done

Good to stay, not so much to eat or shower.

Food in the pub part was just about ok. Very much tasted like it was re-heated and dry. If it were served fresh it would have been good. Shower pressure was terrible. Everything else was good.
