good location
good location and easy to find. lots of parking space, a short walk across to the shops in the service station, or a short drive to the asda nearby.

Other than the [false] fire alarm @ 1am [a one-off, I'm sure] and the noise from the corridor fire door adjacent to the room, all else was well and the staff were very friendly and helpful

Very basic but cleanliness wasn't great. Convenient location. Uncomfortable beds. Fire alarm went off middle of night - understand this cannot always be helped when a false alarm however the situation poorly managed, no staff around to assist or indicate what to do. No apology etc.

A mixed and unfortunate experience.
I honestly don’t know how to review our stay. If you were to ask me if I had a good nights sleep my answer would have to be a resounding NO… however this was not the fault of the hotel. As a budget hotel, check in was smooth and handled professionally and courteously. The room was immaculately clean, as was the bathroom. The fitting were worn but not uncomfortable or damaged. The hotel corridors were cool but the room was super toasty and warm ( almost too warm). My issue came with other customers behaviours. People returning from nights out and shouting and running up and down corridors, followed by another series of confrontations and what sounded like the police being called and someone being taken away. So a very disturbed night, and no one to talk to in the morning about our stay. Would I stay here again… yes I would give it another go and hope that other people using the hotel would be more considerate than those using it last night.
