Fleeting stop over.

Room was expected being an old Formule 1, very small with tiny bathroom, but it did the job for a few hours stopover on the way to Sydney. Location is very close off the M1, so it is very convenient. Getting a little older now, but clean and tidy.

Great value for money. Convenient location. Clean and adequately equipped. Free parking and wifi. Friendly staff. On the negative side - things were missing from the room such as kettle and tv remote. Staff needed to be prompted for basic breakfast elements such as hot water.

Hot shower, comfy bed, a bit tired but clean. Cleaners need a cobweb room. Reception staff freindly. Rooms closest to main road are a bit noisy.
