The hotel was fine, but the receptionist didn’t mention the trucks with their engines running I struggled to sleep the lady at reception said I should have asked for a quiet room, how was I to know there are trucks parked next to the hotel. The room was ok no complaints,

The staff was great, very friendly. The heat in the building was unreal. Was like sleeping in a sauna.
Service was good, rooms were nice and clean, though there was the odd stain on the bedsheets.
The room did get quite warm and the fan provided didn't help much but we were quite happy that one was provided

Average but good enough
Hotel was average. Nothing special and was only used to stay 1 night so wasnt expecting it to be 5 star.
Ideal halfway point when we travelled to Yorkshire and back twice over 3 days

The property needs air conditioning. The room temperature was unbearable and the 1 small fan didn't do anything to help. The staff were fantastic. Hotel could do with a referb. The area outside the hotel was dirty but that's not the hotel's fault as it's a service station.
Room was basic!
No air conditioning unfortunately, although a fan was provided. For any person planning a stay, try and ask for a room away from the HGV parking. Fridge trailers running all night, prevented being able to leave the window open for air.
This place is awful … Disney speak to receptionist not helpful .. put us in a room with lorry carpark outside running engines all night and so loud .. was with a child to and they would have known a lot noise in that area of hotel .. smell of drugs along corridors and the room was so hot little fan was out in room and couldn’t open window wide enough to get air through .. won’t recommend if you want a quite nights sleep as you won’t get it .
At 1am we were checked into a room that was already occupied. A shock for the person both in the room and the person entering to room at that time of night. We were told ‘human error can happen’ as we all know.
