I've stayed here on several occasions over the last 5 years. None have elicited a review because really there was nothing to say. This time, however, things were different. The staff were friendly & helpful. The room was great. Clean, warm, comfortable. Room service, although a tad expensive, was efficient, on time & the food was hot, well presented and... More

Friendly reception. Good clean rooms. Room service above average and good basic light snacks if required. Buffet breakfast and bright cheerful staff. Only one criticism that you have to pay by the hour for wifi in the bedroom. Good location close to junction 40 off M1
