The staff was attentive, friendly and polite = Excellent
Our room was clean and the bed comfortable, the updated bathroom was a plus. On site parking with easy access in a nice, quiet residential neighbourhood. The hotel restaurant was convenient, however it took quite a while to place an order as it appeared short staffed.
Staff are really helpful and very friendly. Really good value for money. Although small does have a gym and spa which was great: good location just off the M56. Stayed a good few times now and great value for money. Rooms are clean and comfortable. X

Staff were lovely though rooms need updating. Breakfast was good and the location excellent to visit the vet specialists.
Pet friendly
An over all great stay. The staff helpful and friendly. We ate in the bar are and the food and the service was excellent. We had room 221 overlooking a green wooded area , it was small but okay us and our two dogs for the one night to break our journey up. An excellent pet welcome which is always appreciated.
Ultra friendly staff
Excellent value for money
All facilities excellent
Air conditioning super cold
Food delicious
Would strongly recommend staying here
Staff were great, all so friendly and helpful. Hotel clean with a good breakfast. Great added bonus of a pool with jacuzzi saunas and steam room. Marked a star down as the bed was rather hard but this is personal preference. Would happily return for another stay. Great base for visiting the zoo
Convenient and comfortable hotel for a night or two. Easy to park, good shower, comfortable beds and dog friendly, which ticks all of our boxes. We used the fitness center, which was a bit cramped (and the sauna was barely warm), but mostly we were out of the hotel and being tourists.
The hotel staff are very welcoming and helpful. The rooms are clean and well serviced by the staff. The hotel as a whole would benefit from some refurbishment as some areas are a little old and dated. The tea and coffee making facilities are a very welcome after a long journey.

This is a lovely hotel with free parking and breakfast included. The rooms are very small but we knew that. Bathroom is very small. The lobby is nice. Breakfast is good but the coffee machine did not work and they run out of food so go early.
Swimming pool is lovely! Dinner was excellent.
But the rooms and corridors need refurbishing, paint is peeling everywhere. But overall a nice experience and would stay again.
Friendly staff, clean, comfortable beds, breakfast was good. Nice central areas and amenities. Great location. All round would recommend if you are looking for a 'does what it says on the tin' and a bit more stay
