Great stay as usual - only thing I was not happy about was price of 3 bars of chocolate of standard size £5.60 a bit steep - I know it’s convenience but really over £5 ….

Centrally located. Staff are absolutely helpful and very friendly. No fault there. Be warned it is next to a busy road so if you are given a room facing the road, come very tired, or very intoxicated so you can sleep. Otherwise, if you stay longer the sound becomes white noise and helps you relax. Again, I compliment the staff - professional, friendly and make you feel very welcome.

Parking was very easy and cheap . It was easy to get to the hotel, the staff were friendly and the breakfast good. Although the hotel is in a quite area there is a lot of noise in the night from the cars racing along the carriage way, we used our ear plugs. Location is very good for the bus and train station, we took the train to Leeds and it was easy.
