Busy night in town
We stayed as part of watching a woman’s International. The hotel is right next door to the ground, which was great.
The staff were lovely very friendly and helpful, although understandably because of large numbers they were busy but they accommodated us as much as they possibly can which was appreciated

Great all round !! Loved it.
Fabulous hotel. Only tricky bit was finding the correct place to park but after that us was all good! Lovely hotel, it was quiet when I stayed, big windows, luxury feel, fab bed, huge TV and lovely bathroom etc. Restaurant looks great (but didn’t have time to try) and the bar with sports screen. Spacious, modern comfort. Would be very happy to return. Value for money. Right at the football ground and very close to the wonderful Sheepfold Stables for food/drink. Vito’s Osteria Italian restaurant was fabulous! Great hotel!

Nice hotel
Great hotel - we watched a game at the stadium so perfectly located for this event.
We enjoyed a meal and time in the bar. The receptionist helped us with two rooms together which helped us so much.

Hotel needs a refurb. Restaurant seats shabby. Dinner menu limited and on the night of my stay fish & chips and pizza were off the menu leaving a limited choice. Room ok, comfortable but a little worn. connecting rooms can be noisy
