    Adequate accommodation excellently located

    The breakfast content is excellent but it is disappointing because it is cold on the plate (it seems that the heat lamps don't work). The rooms are showing signs of wear and tear: the seal around the shower was probably the culprit causing a small pool of water on the floor of the en-suite. In the particular (irregularly shaped) room I was in the position of the desk and the bed made it almost impossible to squeeze on to the deskchair: the distribution of the furnishings should take the shape of the room into account. The shower took in excess of 5 minutes to heat up and I felt guilty wasteing so much water. I would have appreciated a non-slip mat for the shower.

    It's the ideal place to stay if one is visiting Lancaster to attend an event at the University. The campus is surprisingly quiet at night. Despite its propinquity to the M6, I found the traffic noise less disturbing than experiences I have had of staying in the city centre. The room is fairly spacious and adequately equipped (it's functional, not luxurious).

    About time for a refresh I think. It’s on the small side if there were to be two staying. No TV which is sort of expected everywhere now.

    It’s a good budget option for Lancaster.

    I didn’t particularly dislike anything. If I was to make any constructive criticism it would be that the room could have done with a little bit of an upgrade.

    Small but adequate room with small shower room, hairdryer, iron/board, tea, coffee and biscuits. Didn’t really see any staff as we checked ourselves in and out. Nice quiet location for sleeping yet only 10 mins walk away from the main strip. Breakfast was included in the price making it great value for money.

    Had trouble accessing the free wifi on my phone. Room had a slight damp / musty smell. Rooms are close to the motorway but the sound level was fine with the windows shut.

    Room was a good size and clean. Passcode system for access room key worked smoothly. Breakfast was good

    The soundproofing is terrible. You can hear noise from all directions, including other rooms and the hallway. People talking on the phone late at night and people leaving their rooms early in the morning sound like they're right next to you. I would not recommend this hotel for light sleepers. I also had a problem with the heating when I stayed in September. It was very cold at night, and the heat wasn't working. I'm not sure if this is a problem that only occurs in the fall, but it's something to be aware of.

    This hotel is a great option for budget travelers. It's located in a convenient location, close to public transportation and other school facilities.

    The internet and lack of tv seems a little dated.. can do better. It used to be automatic that breakfast was included but this was no longer the case.

    As we were attending a graduation at the university, we couldn’t have landed better! Clean, functional, and we were able to house our entire party. Added bonus was giving our daughter a taste of uni life! Thank you to the clean up crew! Nice to have access to tea and coffee, tho missed having it in the rooms.

    Small room but OK for a stop over. And thin walls. But it is a university guest room, not a 5 star hotel 😁 So all good for the cost to be fair.

    At a wedding nearby. So good to stop for 1 night. Clean and comfy bed, selection of tea and coffee etc☕ with a good little kettle 👌 Very good breakfast included that we had at the market place. Just what we needed after a night out. 😁🥂🍻🍹

    I booked through Booking.com and was not provided with a key code so had to ring ahead. Stay 2/9/23 I found Beatrix block hard to find. A site map , ahead of visit would’ve been useful. The Welcome folder in the room was helpful but I couldn’t find various highlighted in the text on the site map

    A good selection at breakfast The room was clean but a few niggling repair issues. Beatrix 01 the loo roll holder was broken and 08 the shower tray/ seal appeared to be leaking.

    There were only 2 plugs at the desk no others in room lamp was on a 3 pin? The room was on the second floor and I’m disabled so this was very hard for me, I don’t remember the option to request lower floor so possibly I missed that. The shower was so high from the ground approx 6/8 ins this is dangerous for anyone getting out whilst wet, and also the door opens a third of the way along the opening so you lose half the gap to get out, I’m a larger lady so this was very unnerving and scary afraid I might slip or get stuck then the drop to the ground made for a very uncomfortable shower. I’m using all photo spaces to show issues

    The room was ok very basic but clean
