“This hotel is strategically placed for road access, including the A14, A6, and M1, making it a practical choice for travellers on the move. I noticed the spacious rooms are suited to families, and the Gurkhas Restaurant could be a welcome onsite amenity. However, reports of noise issues due to the flooring construction are a concern.”

the room was very nice and comfortable. it was clean and spacious enough for me. the location is excellent because it is in a quiet area. there are plenty of car parking facilities too. i like that!

on arrival, the receptionist said 'is that you van, you can't that in my car park'. then i was informed that i was late arriving at 18.20pm. he said that 10 minutes later he would have re-let our guaranteed room.

Clean Room, Good Overnight Stop

clean roomfriendly receptionfine parkingovernight stay

The room was clean and quiet. The reception lady was friendly. Parking was fine though the location was a bit isolated. I have stayed before and would stay again. It provides a simple overnight stay.

The mattresses are too soft, and the pillows are also uncomfortable.

Dining

Breakfast was good. there is no place to eat within walking distance. Most nearby takeaways required cash payment, so preparation is needed. I did appreciate the available coffee in the room.

The hotel appears to be a former Travelodge building. It offers tea and coffee in the room! along with a hairdryer, a fan, and a safe. The views from the rooms are scenic.
