If you want to sleep in your room make sure there is no function on. The whole hotel was vibrating and thumping with the noise. I hoped it would stop at 11pm but it went on until half past midnight. I had to be up at 6am for an early start!

The room wasn’t properly cleaned, cob webs in clear view, bath gel not topped up, carpet stained and dusty. Disappointing upon checkout the receptionist was miserable didn’t even greet me or give eye contact after keeping me waiting or even asked how my stay was so didn’t feel that she was interested enough to hear my feedback in person which is my normal preference! Restaurant staff were okay but certain items missing from the menu and had to remind them to bring my complete meal out as one item was missing which they hadn’t noticed and didn’t even come back to check if my meal was okay or not! Bear in mind it was not that busy at 5.30pm!

We had two rooms. One was ok and as expected but my experience of checking in was disappointing. Arrived at 1.15pm and was told room not ready (completely understand that room not ready till 3) but was told I could not check in - never had this before and had to check in when we arrived later that evening. This is fine if those are your rules but when checking out this morning there was a couple at10am being allowed to check in?? Our second room for daughter and son in law was not good at all. Only one towel in the room and that was dirty. There was hair in the shower and poo left in the toilet. Your night manager did apologise this morning and said should have phoned down but when arriving late not all these things were obvious. Not what I would expect for paying nearly £200 and very disappointed. Sorry

I was Charged full price at £123 for 1 night for a standard Double I was given room 212 which is probably the smallest room I have ever had the mis pleasure of staying in. The bathroom was so small it was a struggle to shut the door without leaning over the toilet. I don't have a problem with them putting someone in these kinds of rooms but don't charge me full price for it.

Location

Very convenient for drivers, just off the M1 with easy access to Leeds and public transport links. Some note the motorway-side setting isn’t the quietest, and roadworks caused temporary disruption.

Staff were very helpful and polite, the only thing I am very concerned about and will be taking further is the 10% service charge on the food and drink. On the back of the menu at the bottom and in the middle of the smallest font you can read at an eye test states that a non obligation charge of 10% will be added. Therefore when I queried the bill being over the amount I expected they could not take of the charge, even though I have no idea what the food or service was going to be like. On further investigation it appears that this surplus funds does not reach the staff for whom the tips are intended for. Further investigation exposed that a worker got £11.50 in tips for the whole month during October.
