Stopped here for one night in December as it was located near the venue for a Birthday bash we were attending on the Saturday. Also the other half wanted to take in some shopping at the Meadowhall on the Sunday and this hotel was only 15 mins drive away from there.
The price was excellent value, only £42 in total for the 2 of us which included a continental breakfast.(Booked this via laterooms as this was the only site that included the breakfast at this cost).
Rooms are similar to your typical travelodge but a good feature of this room was the larger than average (for a hotel) TV and the inclusion of sky sports.
You also get a free Independent newspaper each day which is an added bonus.
Ok, the niggles first.
1) The hotel was close to the M1 so some road noise could be heard during the night. However I guess this depends on what side of the hotel the room was situated. I still slept ok though.
2) Although the room was clean, there was a funny stain on the sofa in the bedroom which was a bit off putting.
3) The shower was red hot and I struggled to find a way to get the temperature below "hoo haa" heat.
4) The hotel is relatively close to Meadowhall shopping centre, which resulted in me being dragged around numerous clothes shops with my other half on the Sunday. I guess if your female this will come under the "good points" category, but as I'm male it's a bad point.
Now for the good points:
1) Hotel is conveniently located for Sheffield and surrounding areas.
2) Staff friendly (didn't grumble when I asked for more coffee for the bedroom).
3) Room features good, such as sky tv, plenty of tea/coffee (and shortbread biscuit) and towels.
4) Only a 30 second walk to the petrol station if you want to grab a paper. (The hotel reception area also sells crisps, chocolates etc and drinks).
5) Room was clean, despite dodgy stain on sofa.
6) If you forget any toiletries the hotel will provide these free of charge. Thankfully this time I remembered to pack my toothbrush, so in this instance the other half gave me a good night kiss as opposed to just a hand shake.
7) The breakfast is brought to your room at the time you request it and is very good.
Consisted of a large coissant, some nice yoghurt, freshly squeezed orange juice, bowl of cereal and some fruit.
8) The price. At £42 for all that lot it was excellent value for money and I can recommend this hotel if you want something footloose and fancy free....that serves a good breakfast!
