The best Hotel I have stayed at for some time. I look forward to visiting the area soon, so that I can stay here again.

Efficient and friendly staff made our short stay enjoyable. The breakfast buffet provided everything I would want to eat for breakfast. The swimming pool and leisure facilities were a pleasure to use.

Good facilities in room ie:trouser press, ironing materials, hair drier.
Good choice of food at breakfast and very prompt service. Very pleasant and helpful staff

Foyer was very cold, but this was due to adverse weather conditions constantly blowing doors open, making it incomfortable to sit there.

good
(107195210)

location excellent for access to local transport infrastructure proximity to local amenities and yet superb views over surrounding countryside whilst given near distance to motorway surprisingly you wouldn't know it was there. Sports facilities a healthy option if somewhat restricted by size to accommodate many users

some of bulbs in room needed replacing - hotel size and location mean it is used a lot for 'events', nights out, tribute bands/ shows etc with non residents so car park can get busy meaning quite a hike to / from car

Great value for money. Excellent facilities and friendly staff

The bar area is in an open foyer along with reception. This got cold due to the automatic doors constantly being kept open by the smokers standing just outside it!

It was all good - staff friendly and welcoming. Room - great. Pleasant to sit and have a drink after a long drive

The room was ok but very basic, the food was awful, and service wasn't great, hotel looks nice from outside, but very deceiving inside, I would strongly recommend the star rate be revisisted.
(97717570)

very little

For a 4 star hotel I thought it was the worst I've ever stayed in, we ordered breakfast in the room, which was cold and dried up,even the second attempt at delivering the food, food was only just warm, hotel only refunded delivery charge of £3.50, didn't seem bothered at all

We were staying here because it is closely located to family that we were visiting and is suitable for this purpose at a reasonable price
(97726468)

Reception is bright and bar available. Staff were prepared to help

The coffee in the room. The corridor had a smell to it, if it was the bedroom I would have said it had been a smoking room.

This was a short and sweet stay as I was there at 11pm and out at 08.15 am. Just wanted to say that I love the coffee to go and muffins at the bar. I've only seen coffee to go at other places and I don't always want to spend a lot for a small breakfast.

Convenient for M62. Adequate parking. Receptionist allocated us a room in the quieter part of the hotel. Good bar meal.

Clean comfortable room. Useful to have an iron & ironing board supplied in the room.
Anonymous (Mature couple) 25 October 2006
This once modern hotel has a rather tired air about it now. The bathrooms are almost a 70's period piece. The television is equally dated. The extortionately high cost of broadband discouraged us from using it. We left without breakfast, so I cannot comment on that.

Good facilities. Staff very nice.

I didn't know that I needed to pay for towels in the gym until I got there. The chairs in reception really stank of cigarette smoke. Need a bigger sign outside because I missed it and ended up going down that huge hill towards Halifax.
John from Nottingham, United Kingdom;GB (Solo leisure traveller) 16 August 2006
Clean well run a very good location for the M62 and for easy acess to sorounding area and both Huddersfield and Halifaxa. Adequte parking. Breakfast should be included even though I dont eat breakfast myself i am sure other guests may like it.
(3305155337)

The only hotel localy with a swiming pool though it was a small one

Breakfast not included.

We only stayed one night.The accomodation and surroundings were comfortable and tasteful.All information was available on the website so I felt fully informed. We thought that breakfast was overpriced.

SONIA from East Malling, United Kingdom;GB (Group of adult friends) 02 August 2006
Would recommend to others however, would advise them to eat out for breakfast. Prices are fine if travelling on a business account but I stayed with 4 other adults and 3 children and full breakfast would have cost us over
(3305081546)

Very clean,reception staff & cleaning team very friendly & helpful. Easy to find & good parking facilities. Good to see a decent shower in the room! Ironing board & iron provided which came in handy!

As it was very hot - need air con although staff at reception helpfully provided us with a couple of fans! As on 3rd floor we felt room could have some larger windows that opened. Weekend very busy at hotel and noise from wedding party kept us awake. Pool was not very clear - might have needed some chemicals? Food (breakfast in particular) too expensive. Needed more tea, milk etc in room.

A lovely hotel on the whole but the meal was poor items not available and the roast potatoes re heated from lunchtime . It was a Sunday night and quiet but not a 4 star performance.
(3304441820)

It was clean and comfortable

The pool was disappointing too small and not a pleasant environment. Layout badly planned .
