Lovely big shower, but you wait 10 minutes for the trickle of hot water. They are doing up the hotel, but clearly on a tight budget. Internet tv only, which keeps loosing signal. On the positive, comfortable bed and my room was away from the road and hence very quiet. Warm welcome from receptionist, who walked me to my room, but he did not offer help with my bags.

the Staff was very friendly, available and went above and beyond their duty to aid a senior couple, especially Mr. Iqbal. if we ever go back to UK, we would not hesitate to stay there again.

Good, but room for improvement

Staff friendly enough. Room was clean & tidy & bathroom was really nice. Hotel is having maintenance with building works outside. Room had recently been painted & had a very strong smell. Understand maintenance is required, but drilling at 8am on any day, especially a Sunday was unacceptable, also without any notice.

Very reasonable budget hotel

Very reasonable budget hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful. Small basic room but clean and tidy, decent bathroom with good size shower. Plenty of hot water. Overall, it suited me perfectly.

Room was ok with a comfy bed and decent en-suite. Decor was not good and everything was very basic. As renovation work is under way it was a bit of a strange environment. Staff on reception were pleasant and helpful but there were not many people around. No restaurant facilities at present.

This basic type hotel seems to be just starting up? I expect it will be much better in the future. Staff are very nice and seemed very enthusiastic Bathroom very nice in the room I was in, which was small but nicely decorated and the beds very comfortable. On the downside it was thick with building dust which I cleaned from the air as well as the surfaces before I could sleep there - this was back in March 2025. They seemed to welcome my suggestion that they next get a good cleaner. I hope they did. Paper thin walls.

Convenient, but with limitations.

Reception was friendly and check-in quick. The room itself was fine, although the bed sheets did have a strange aroma, almost like smoke! I stayed for 3 nights and the first two (Friday and Saturday) there was a lot of noise from neighbouring guests, going on until 3 in the morning! The location was convenient for the visits I needed to make, but you do need a car! Only food available was a nearby service station or delivered takeaway. Having said all that, I would probably use it again in the future.

Clean and staff friendly, hotel needs a bit of TLC to be honest. Shower worked fine in the room on day one, next morning after a run there was no water and then intermittent bursts of cold water

The rooms and facilities were in poor condition. It’s a good option as a transit hotel but not ideal for leisure stays. However, the staff provided excellent customer care, compensating for the shortcomings.

Overall it was ok but wouldn’t return

Site was not well signed so thought I had arrived to a private property not the location of the hotel. Bathroom was really nice and modern but the rest of the room was not the same style. Unfortunately the fire alarm was set off during the night and no guests knew what the procedure was so this could be reinforced on arrival of future customers

The staff were very nice. The room was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately the lead for the kettle could only b plugged in if you took the plug out of the tv. But I believe they r addressing this. Also I couldn’t get terrestrial tv, but that was possibly me. I had to go through apps. The bed was really comfy and the room was what ever temperature you wanted it to be. I would stay again. Although it might b good if they get slow closing doors, as you do hear your neighbors

2.5/5 Stars Our stay here was a bit of a mixed bag. Upon arrival, we joked that we'd somehow entered the Twilight Zone – the vibe was more "motel" than "hotel." The staff were friendly enough, which was a definite plus. Our room was clean, for the most part, but we did notice that the spare pillows had some noticeable stains. Not a deal-breaker, but a bit disappointing. The real issue, though, was the overall atmosphere of the place. It felt deserted, like we were the only guests. The decor was straight out of a classic Western film – think tumbleweeds rolling down the sidewalk at any moment. While it had a certain quirky charm, it didn't exactly scream "luxury" or "modern amenities." If you're looking for a no-frills place to rest your head, this might be okay. However, if you're after a more hotel-like experience, you might want to look elsewhere. Perhaps a bit of renovation and some added amenities could elevate this place from motel vibes to something more impressive. For now, it's an average stop poor stay

A work in progress - A warm bed, TV & Bathroom

This is a difficult review to write as we have very mixed feelings about our stay, When we arrived we thought that we had come to the wrong place and we had driven into a derelict site that once was a hotel, there were no cars or people that you would expect on a Saturday afternoon 1 hr after check-in. We did find someone and he ushered us to reception asked our name and produced a key. We were certainly getting a little concerned at the condition of the hotel but decided to go to the room and see, we could always leave if it was bad. The gentleman showed us to the room and to be fair he was pleasant and pointed to a non existent notice with the Wifi password. The room itself seemed ok so we grabbed our cases. In fact the room was Clean and warm, bed was obviously pretty new and a modern TV hung on the wall (sadly it only had online channels so were limited to 4 Freeview channels, this didn't matter as i never stay in a hotel without my trusty firestick..... and I stay in a lot of hotels for my job). The Bathroom was very clean and honestly it was fine. The only issues we had were 1) only 1 power socket with the tv plugged in, 2) No Bar or restaurant even tho the booking website show a fully stocked bar. 3) The main gate is locked after 10pm and we arrived back at 12.15 having to wait 10 minutes and 3 phone calls to the displayed number for a chap to come and unlocked the gate. All in all the essentials are there but its not a hidden Gem ....... Yet - A work in progress
