Really enjoyed our stay, such friendly staff, convenient having the pub underneath, gave us a local taxi number which is nice and also checked on our taxi to make sure it was the right one when we were leaving. Rooms clean, beds comfy, everything we needed for short stay. Brilliant shopping centre 1mile away and quick into city centre or Town Moor for events, highly recommend

The room was ancient and very tired… there was damage to the bathroom door as if someone had punched a hole in it… bathroom window wouldn’t close… hot water was non existent, beds were uncomfortable and well used, duvet cover hardly covered the mattress, room was cold…. If it wasn’t so late in the day I wouldn’t have stayed there… the lady on reception was the only saving grace, she was friendly and helpful.

Cheap but dated

Staff were friendly/helpful etc, bar prices were reasonable..interior is very dated and well worn/past its sell by date..heating was on so it was warm enough..I was there late and leaving early so it was just a bed for the night etc, worst bit for me was the hopeless shower, water was nice and hot but there was no water pressure at all and it barely trickled out..(even an electric shower would have been better and they are useless).....
