negative comments This is the worst hotel we have ever had the misfortune to stay in,shame we had already paid in advance. The location ,in the middle of a council housing estate should be mentioned on the web site .Will NOT be using your web site again.

Would not return although it was cheap and the staff were friendly. (107112611)

positive comments Friendly staff
negative comments Had to check in at the bar counter as there was no sign of any reception. My room was clean(ish) but had stained carpet, very poor shower and toilet facilities - old and dirty. Towles were clean but old. The room smelt strongly of the restaurant underneath. Could hear every word from the guests next door.

This hotel is not the Ritz, but compares well enough with others in the area, particularly in terms of value for money. (97746828)

positive comments Clean airy room with fresh towels daily, and mostly very good breakfasts.
negative comments The final Sunday a.m. was a disaster, no places set for breakfast, and little choice. We suspect a staff problem occurred which appeared to have been rectified when we returned the following week-end.

When I arrrived at this hotel, the room offered to me was not acceptable. Also the only food available at this hotel was Indian to which I am allergic, this was not made clear in the advert. I was not happy with this hotel and stayed elsewhere. (97481076)

negative comments It was shabby and dirty

Anonymous (Solo business traveller) 23 June 2007

The hotel is scruffy and in a fairly rough area. It is essentially a pub crossed with a Balti house. The room was grubby and smelled damp. The shower room was too small and not very clean. The breakfast was good, but I had to eat in the main bar area next to a pool table. (99558542)

positive comments It was convenient to the motorway
negative comments The shabbiness and the smell in the bedroom

John from Cottingham, GB (Solo leisure traveller) 15 May 2007

The staff were very good although a bit of information about the fire alarm going off at 5:00am would have been helpful. At least I know it worked even though it was presumably a false alarm. The worst bit was the lack of sound insulation between the room and the bar. One of the customers was quite vocal until well after midnight. The food however was good - a great breakfast. (99590928)

positive comments Price and location - attending a conference at the NEC
negative comments The noise from the bar which went on well after midnight. The smoke smell.

That the hotel was empty except for us, it was over an Indian Restaurant (our room was over the kitchen) and the smell was really strong. (99886180)

positive comments The breakfast was good when we eventually got it
negative comments The door wouldn't lock, the bathroom door wouldn't shut, the toilet was up against the wall sideways with the toilet brush on the sink! We had to find clean cups etc and request toilet rolls, t.bags etc.

Staff extremely friendly and informal. Accomodation basic and rather small but interesting and characterful. Excellent value. Atmosphere from adjoining Indian restaurant could be a problem for some. (99242226)

Check out was too early. If you are staying for one night then generally I would assume most people do not want to get up at before 9am on a Sunday to get washed, dressed and packed in time to have breakfast and check out. It kind of defeats the object of a relaxing time especially if you had a late night...We decided against breakfast for this reason. The bar staff and locals were friendly so this was a plus. There is an ajoining balti house which has lovely food but the dishes they served in were noticeably grimey. This put us off finishing what was otherwise a lovely meal with again friendly staff. (99849573)

positive comments The beams in the room....The staff.
negative comments The inside of the kettle was disgusting. The room overall was not clean. The bathroom was particularly bad hence the reason we did not use it which wasn't very nice for us in the morning.

There was no uniformity of staff knowledge,where to eat breakfast times etc. Apart from the cleaners on the Monday morning who were excellent but had not been told we were there!.Breakfast at the weekend was served by a young girl in her anorak, nothing was laid on the tables and we had to find our own cereal bowls glasses etc. We ate breakfast in the Indian resturant which is part of the Hotel. So hope you can stomach the smell of curry at 09.00. (99250743)

positive comments It was adequate clean & comfortable
negative comments Lack of information as to timetables of breakfast etc.No remote for the TV and heating too hot.
