With parking close by and fabulous service, I often stay here for both business and pleasure. The restaurant food can be delivered to your room with a smile and there are supplies in the room such as bottled water, jelly beans and ‘hotel biscuits’.

Better than expected overall. Motel feel on the outside but the rooms are modern enough and the rooms are cleaned daily which is good for these days. Service is good when staff are around. Lots of free parking. Great location with proximity to Doncaster Shoppingtown. Free internet and you can control the temperature of the room. Smart TV is a good touch and lots of power points. The beds are very comfortable. Negatives are only that reception does not open until 9 am, the cleaning could be better, a microwave or toaster would be handy and it can be a bit loud outside on Friday and Saturday but it does not last long. Overall, I would likely stay again.

Room was great for our needs, beds comfy, location excellent for shopping at doncaster. However, barely slept until after 4am because there is an inch gap under the door of room 8 and its closest to the bistro so could hear every word of the security guards talking until the wee hours and every patron or staff that left out that door, every car that moved let alone the traffic noise. Easily rectified with some soundproofing around the door. Would be good to be able to turn off the balcony light too.

I stayed with my two 14 year olds in a three person unit, it was only a one night stay and the boys top and tailed on the queen bed with no complaints. They absolutely loved the bathroom and how big the shower was. They loved the little private balcony making them feel very grown up drinking their cup of tea and complimentary biscuits lol and they were extremely excited to find the Westfield shopping centre right across the road, where they spent their evening and than breakfast the following day. Side note, I was sick with the flue and got yo stay in the comfy bed wile the two hobbits went adventuring. We will definitely be staying here again as not only were we very comfortable and had a great adventure and comfortable sleep for our trip the following day but the dinner menu looked amazing so we need to come back and try everything. Highly recommended.

Could i nitpick a few little things? Yes, but im not going to. The bed was comfortable, the TV worked, the water was hot and the shower had good pressure . The fridge was cold and we liked the little courtyard out the back. Overall,it was a great, comfortable place to stay and would have no hesitation in staying there again or recommending it! Thank you!
