a pleasant stay

friendly staff super clean cleanliness free parking

i found the staff friendly and cute. it was good to find the entire place spotlessly clean. i also appreciated the free parking available at the hotel and the hotel offered a good shower so i felt refreshed each morning.

i did find there was only one extra pillow in my room, so more available pillows would improve the experience.

basic stay with a few hiccups

stained carpet thin doors

the location worked fine for my purposes.

the room i got, a double room sofa bed, was pretty rough. the carpet looked like it hadnt seen a vacuum in ages and had some pretty questionable stains. also, the noise from the hallway kept me up most of the night, those doors are seriously thin.

Fantastic Overnight Stay!

fabulous location quiet place comfortable bed short walk

The location is FABULOUS on the side of the Leeds to Liverpool canal. It was very quiet, and the bed was comfortable. A short, easy walk took me into Shipley and Saltaire. The hotel is near the train station and major roads, YAY!

The corridor carpets looked slightly worn.
