Room was small and a bit tired, but comfortable. The bar was cosy and the receptionist was super friendly and helpful.
1.0 / 10.0
The convenience and easy to get to location.
That there was nowhere on their website or in the Booking.com advert for this hotel that they no longer have double beds in their double rooms.
The beds are now all single beds put together.
I wasnt aware of this. Im disabled, have oesteoarthritis and as I cant sleep near the edge of the bed I have to sleep near the middle and there is a thick seam where the two single beds are melded together.
Because of that I didnt sleep well, & left me with exacerbated joint pain.
Add to that despite adding the cars registration on check in paperwork and electronic, one of us received not one but two parking tickets. One for check in date and one for check put date. That was 2 × £100 fines that were issued despite being guests of the hotel and supplying car regs.
It took appealing the tickets, the company who looks after the car park verifying with the hotel they had car registrations logged verified and total car parks upheld the appeal and both tickets were cancelled, but that did not negate the upset, stress and anxiety, (£200 is a lot of money) that it caused.
So in view of all of that, what can take away from it is to advise to take a photograph of your car registration input when checking in so it is dated and time stamped, (I did thankfully), and secondly be aware there are no double beds, they replaced all their doubles with 2 singles pushed together, confirmed by management with explanation they get a lot of groups of people staying, so having beds that can be used as singles or pushed together depending on type of booking made sense - which is their reasoning for doing so.
So be warned, 2 singles pushed together with a zipped cover is not and cannot be as comfortable and condusive to a good and restful nights sleep as a double.
Would I stay there again if I was back in the area and needed an overnight hotel stay?
Never again.

I had a medical issue when staying at the property and can’t thank the staff enough for all of their help and kindness to my partner when she returned a few days later to collect my belongings.

Ok
A G Hotels - double charged don’t refund for 3 weeks
Originally we hadn’t paid - so paid
Checked the app - found we had, asked for head office details refused to give me their email or contact number
Basically over paid - through poor IT system - absolutely no recompense

Location was ideal
The room wasn’t clean. There were hairs in the bathroom and the bed. The staff were ok but not great. I wanted to check out but they were all outside smoking under the canopy.
3.0 / 10.0
The staff were excellent - the lady on reception was a credit to the organisation and the chef made a very tasty meal.
Since the new owners have taken over they have introduced hidden price increases
1. Car parking charge - not clear on the website and just sharp practice to charge for that when it should be included in the room rate.
2. The booking price on Booking.com was not not that which was charged - £5 per night different
3. The Tesla chargers are some of the most expensive per KW in the UK - when they used to be very reasonable

Location was good .I saw your advertisement on line and very disappointed nothing like it on arrival booked for 3 nights and paid on arrival.
Left after 2 nights felt couldn't stay there any longer
The car park charges not on advert
The restaurant open 24 hours on advert and wasn't
Room not as clean as it could have been
Pillows disgusting worn out
10 percent discount on food advert in room staff knew nothing about it
Bar drinks no draught mixers were extra payment
Very limited food to advertise
6.0 / 10.0
Reasonably quiet and easily accessible from major roads
Showers were very difficult to use due to there only being a very small footage area. There was a step in the bath which takes away a huge amount of standing space especially when the room was classed as an accessible one. None of the accessible rooms had a walk in shower. The new hotel owners, (formerly campanile) have taken away the buffet breakfast (although continental still buffet style) which was one of the best things about this hotel. I would suggest this should be mentioned when people are reading up on reviews as formerly it was a full buffet breakfast

8.0 / 10.0
Very good value ( seems worthy of a 3 star rating in my opinion). Staff were friendly & helpful.
I'm nit picking. Only 2 milks for the drinks tray despite more tea / coffee sachets. 4 as a minimum please to make drinks on arrival & pre-breakfast.
Would have preferred a choice of how the eggs were served at breakfast instead of fried only.

No heating in the bathroom. Bathroom drab patches on the wall crack in the sink.. No phone in the room so couldn't complain about a regular thumping mechanical noise that went on for 30 minutes between 10.30 and 11 p.m. when we were trying to sleep This happened on 2 nights even after we queried it to the cleaner and the receptionist. Your website needs up dating to tell clients that the hotel name has changed.

Location excellent and convenient for motorway access. Staff were helpful and friendly. Rooms were on the small size but adequate for a motorway lodge style hotel. The internal door between the room and the corridor are a really good addition to lower noise levels. Parking was sufficient and with good cctv coverage for security. Vending machine in lobby area is a good idea as food & beverage service is limited.
Breakfast was of a satisfactory standard with good service.
Rooms generally in need a refurb. looking tired.
Need new mattresses on the beds.
The towels provided were too small.
No plug sockets near the bed and only two wall sockets which were positioned awkwardly.
