Clayton Hotel Leeds

8/10 Good
"We stayed last weekend for a last minute trip and got an absolute bargain. I wasn’t expecting much but the hotel was brilliant! The rooms were slightly dated but the bed was comfy and if all you need accommodation for a night it is amazing. They had everything in the room that we needed. The breakfast was one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had at a hotel and I’ve stayed in many more that are much more expensive (even had syrups for the latte which made my morning and saved me having to go into Leeds and spend £5+ on one!). The only issues I had were that there was no cot in the room when I’d requested this twice before hand but as soon as I asked at reception they brought one up (they also assisted with luggage which was really helpful). The cot was super uncomfortable and the mattress was like concrete so our baby just slept in our bed so it probably recommend investing in some better cots as I don’t think any baby would sleep in that. Would definitely be back though. Thank you"
