Check in was slow , not down to the staff but a guest wanting to tell his life story. Eventually checked in they ask for £5 per day parking which is not on website. If you book direct with days inn it is free . Rooms were good , plenty of worktop space . Bathroom clean and tidy and shower all fine . Pity about having to pay for parking as I believe this should be included in the hotel price when booked. Won’t be back for this reason as my company pays the hotel but not parking which equates to £25 to £35 per week out my own pocket .

Comfortable stay

Everything was ok but there was a strong smell of fags in the room and a few brown stains on the carpet. Also a bit annoying you have to pay for parking when it says free parking

Only stay if it’s your only option.

Had to pay for our own parking even though it’s a sign saying free parking. Bed very uncomfortable and hard. Not very clean. Very old and needs an upgrade. Only stayed there because we were tired. I will not stay there again.
