10/10 Excellent
"Room was spacious with a huge bed. Styling of the room was really cool and it was immaculate. Bathroom was great with a big shower. Right next door to motorway services with a McDonald's and Costa. Staff are really friendly with a laid-back vibe. I wasn't expecting much but this hotel is amazing. I would definitely stay here again. "
