Last minute stay and though the room and hotel is shabby the room was clean and the beds comfortable. Yorkshire tea bags and biscuits in the room was a nice touch.
Great value.
The room was very clean and tidy, plenty of linen.

No Internet, noise from room next to us at 4.50am.
Arrived after midnight due to long drive and the room we where meant to have already had people in it.
Where given another room. But a bit of waiting about to get room.
Great stop over, lovely lady on reception who was most helpful and also we were able to take our dog along for the stay so very good stay. Thank you!

Absolute dump, loud in the room so thought we better close the window to block some of the sound but It made no difference. Stank of weed if you opened the door so made the room stink. Bed was ok and room was clean but very furnishing all rough and tired etc. Member of staff was friendly.
Ground floor room at front very noisy all night from refrigeration wagon then at about 4am the person upstairs started to move round room for at least 30 mins so no sleep for me . Top floor back may have been been quieter
Budget hotel but the best you could expect for the low price. Very good size room and good shower. Bit of a creaky floorboard above when people walked on it!
A cheap stay on a motorway! Did what it said on the tin! Bathroom needed repaint and faint smell of cigarette smoke but very quiet, receptionist and housekeeping were lively. Bed comfy and clean.
The whole place is run down and has seen better days! The rusted bath and plugs and towels with marks. I would not recommend for solo women given the large crowd of men hanging about outside and around reception. Incredibly intimidating.
Very comfortable bed. Large spacious room, great shower and excellent check in staff.

The property is a hotel at a service station on the M1. It cost me £45 for a night, so I really can’t complain. It’s basic, but has everything you would need for a quick stop off to break up a drive. No frills but reception lady was lovely and friendly.
