Pros: Staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel was very clean and there was a daily room cleaning service. Buffet breakfast was great. Tea and coffee making available in the room. Very good shower and adjustable air conditioning in the room was a bonus. Cons: Room is advertised as having TV with cable channels, but the channels were freeview and half of them didn't work with retuning from the menu blocked. Floors were very creaky and woke the family whenever I walked to get to the toilet during the night. Parking is available but at an additional cost (£9 overnight, payable before exiting). Overall it is a lovely convenient place to stay and this was our 2nd time at the hotel.

Very clean, friendly staff. Only downside is how small the car park is, very limited spaces.

Lovely staff & a new / shiny hotel, had a meal from the bar snack menu, a bit disappointing, but it filled a hole. Location handy for the town & next door to the train station, easy parking nearby

Well on first appearance, all good. Modern, clean, friendly staff. Bathroom great, spacious shower, good quality toiletries. However during the night I kept getting a faint smell of urine so assume that someone has had an accident in the room at some point and it’s not been fully removed (119). Then we had a guy, completely off his face causing commotion in the hallway around 1.30 which lasted for about an hour or so - assuming police came to remove him. Thankfully I had earplugs so it dulled some of the shouting and swearing. Not the worst hotel in Grimsby. We were just unfortunate. Park in the council run car park rather than the hotel one as you get charged every time you leave. Walking distance to train station. Curry house over the road offers a good meal. Would use again if in the area.

The room and the bathroom were spotlessly clean. Even though the hotel is close to a railway line, the trains didn't disturb the silence at all. Breakfast was delicious and had a wide variety.

I've stayed here many times due to the location being great and accessibility. This was a family stay and most enjoyable. The only downside was there was three of us and the pull out bed had really large joints out springs on which made sleeping uncomfortable. Other amenities good.

One point was the time waiting for the food at breakfast. I had to wait over 25 mintues for the hash browns and over 20 minutes for the bacon and the sausages and at 09.25 there were no baps left. Whilst my family eat I had toast and marmalade , toast with scrambled eggs. They really need to plan according too the number of guests.
