Nice and very well priced hotel, rooms are clean and sized well. Breakfast is definitely worth getting. Lunch menu is good with plenty to choose from. The staff here are absolutely fantastic and very accommodating.
I was pleasantly surprised with this hotel. The staff were really friendly and with a large, open reception you felt that you could reach someone at all hours. The room was quite large and very comfortable. Top marks.
Functional,very clean and comfortable. Ideal for a few nights stopover. Has all the amenities you need without the frippery you don't need, so no unnecessary pampering. Very comfortable bed, great shower nicely decorated rooms.Staff very friendly and helpful. Excellent grading for a budget hotel. Breakfast from 7am which suited us. My mother-in- law ,who travelled with us, had an accessible room which had a spacious and very practical Wet Room. The request for nearby rooms was honoured. This Hotel may not offer high end luxury, but is a very nice place to stay and for us most conveniently located.
Had the best sleep in a very long time! The bed was so comfatable! Lovely clean room!! Staff were very friendly and helpful! Would definitely stay there again!
Easy to find just off M1 junction 18, plenty parking outside hotel. Reception was clean and tidy, staff on reception were friendly and welcoming. Room was clean and tidy, nice comfortable temperature on arrival, easy to use air conditioning. Good shower space, towels were standard bath towels, not so good for the larger guests. Breakfast was nice, worth paying the extra as there is no where near at hand to go elsewhere. Good selection of cooked and continental items, all looked fresh and well stocked. Lady in the restaurant was very friendly at breakfast. Would happily stay here again.
Overnight stay with my wife ( and dog). Decent sized rooms, relatively clean except under the bed..... Nice big shower and good air-conditioning. Poor pillows, very firm, no other option sadly. Good little bar with friendly staff. Restaurant for basic evening meals and breakfast (additional charge). Bit of outdoor seating which could do with having the litter picked up. Dogs welcome at no extra charge. Happy with our stay and the room rate was reasonable.
I was there today for a conference and I have to say the staff were excellent. The restaurant staff looked after me whilst I was waiting to join the conference, nothing was too much trouble. The food was exceptional, well presented and catered for all. Every area is kept clean and to a high standard. I would highly recommend you go there, even for a coffee, the pastries are Devine!! Well done everyone!
Clean rooms, much better than Hilton up the road. Free parking. Can't go wrong, affordable, clean, and free parking. Self checkout makes it easier to drop the keys and leave.
Just off the M1 motorway, this straightforward hotel is 5 miles from World Rugby Hall of Fame and Visitor Centre, and 8 miles from stately Stanford Hall.
