    Wasn't enough sugar, tea, milk and was a long walk just to get more. Handles were bit dirty in the hall ways.

    Bedding was fresh, beds were comfy, soft cushions. Nice power for the shower

    The rooms could do with some tlc & updating as run down in parts. For the price of the room I feel breakfast should be included.

    The room was adequate for our needs & had everything we needed. The staff were all friendly & the food in the restaurant was lovely & reasonably priced.

    Bathroom was a little tired looking, we opted to swerve using the bath/shower so was glad it was only 1 nights stay. The double head board was really squeaky which was a little annoying when turning sides during the night. No fresh juice (blackcurrant squash) during breakfast which was a shame- told no matter how much they order it never gets sent, slightly odd as you can purchase juice at the bar.

    Nice hotel, meets all basic needs. Friendly staff and good restaurant adjoining. Free parking! Continental breakfast was good.

    Upon checking in the surface that we signed the papers on was so sticky that the paperwork had to be pealed off. The floor in the bathroom was extremely tired warped, and discoloured. The furniture in the room was very worn and tired. There were no drawers to put clothes in, just a few hangers. The chairs and benches in the restaurant look terrible. Extremely ripped and tatty. If breakfast wasn't included it would have put me off eating there. It is a shame because the food was nice and good value. I would be much more keen to go back if the decor standards met the bare minimum.

    The bed, TV, shower pressure, and food were good. The staff were friendly, and Holly was especially lovely. She was bright and cheery every morning she was on and created a lovely vibe in the restaurant. You can order meals to your room on an app, which is super handy when you are tired in the evening.

    Really poor hot water pressure meaning baths took far too long to run Nowhere near the quality I'd expect for £185 Very noticeable wear and tear on the bathroom suite Lack of biscuits with the extremely basic tea offering Bathroom amenities far more basic than the room cost would expect Towels were rough

    The room was a good space and the beds were comfy Nice plump pillows When it eventually ran the second bath I had was hot Good location for what we needed Exceptionally nice staff

    I suppose the only negative is, it all look a bit tired, including the pub area. Cleanliness was fine though.

    Easy to find, easy to check in. Staff were pleasant and friendly. Room had everything we needed. Great being attached to food and bar. Next to a big tescos and Aldi. Great location.

    Breakfast would be nice until 10am every day, breakfast good but iwouldn't have a Sunday roast there. A few more tea bags and milks would be nice.

    Asked for a quiet upper room, got a quiet room. Excellent size for twin beds. Very comfy beds and linen. Great shower. Good breakfast. Convenient location and near to McDonald's and a Tesco. Large car park and a garden. Very nice staff.

    The room was advertised as 301sqft Family room, and it just was not that at all perhaps around half that 150sqft. We have stayed in lots of family rooms and this was a good one amongst others like it, Premier Inn, Holiday Inn etc are all a similar size. However, we have stayed in others 280 - 320 sqft and they are vastly different and normally you have a separate sleeping area for the family, which was what we were expecting from the advertised size of the room.

    Great location for Alton Towers, Taxi 20m approx £20-£30 local taxis or Uber (July 2023 prices). Excellent value for money. Greene King so cheap but decent food. Staff were friendly and helpful.

    The rooms were located on the ground floor, I would recommend to book 1st floor as noise from people above was bad, every footstep could be heard and in our case started at 5am.

    Location for Alton Towers was great only 20 minute drive. Breakfast wasn't great, water for hot drinks was tepid on both mornings and the food appeared to have been kept warm and not fresh.
