Convenient Stay Near the Motorway

big parking spacegood breakfasteffective soundproofing

The big parking space was very convenient. The breakfast offered good choices. I also found the soundproofing quite effective, traffic noise from the nearby highway was minimal.

There were limited coffee sachets. I did not bother contacting reception about this matter because I had issues connecting to the wi-fi earlier. I know the staff might have been busy.

Quiet and Comfortable Stay

quiet locationcomfy bedfriendly stafffirm pillow

The location proved quiet, a welcome surprise considering its proximity to the motorway. My room, a ground floor Standard Room Hot, featured supremely comfortable beds. The staff were friendly and I appreciated the variety of food available (a pleasant surprise!).

The pillows felt too firm, impacting my sleep quality (a minor inconvenience). I have neck problems and require softer support. Addressing this would significantly improve the guest experience.

Location

9/10

The hotel benefits from easy access to the M6 and M65 corridors, a considerable advantage for travelers. The provided Sat Nav and postcode made locating the hotel straightforward. The spacious car park just outside the main entrance adds to the overall convenience.

Service

10/10

The check-in was quick and cute, and the staff created a positive first impression (I really appreciated the warmth). As a Priority Club member, I received acknowledgment and a choice between bonus points or a complimentary drink. The check-out process was also seamless.

The hotel offers a balanced mix of continental and fully cooked breakfast options. The menu included usual options to suit various preferences like pizza, burgers, and fries. The open-plan bar provides a casual atmosphere.
