Arrived earlier than expected however this was not a problem to Jessica who checked me in giving very clear necessery information. Room was very welcoming with a lovely ensuite shower room, extremely clean and fresh all round. A few creaky floorboards but they can be easily fixed. Had a basic breakfast of cereal, then toast & scrambled eggs, charged on top. My room was above the back door entrance, think all guests need to listen when checking in, and then attempt to comply to notices asking them to be considerate to others by not slamming doors. Great parking facility to rear of building which I used, but also noticed parking out front too which may have time lilitations. Mine was just a quick overnight visit on route to Scotland but would certainly rebook to stay again. Oh and a fan may be of use during hotter spells of weather. Thank you all......you gave exactly what I needed.

I really enjoyed my stay, it was friendly and welcoming, beautifully clean and had everything we needed. I would stay again. Unfortunately the family room we were staying in suffered from damp, the bedding itself felt damp after a while, and the mould in the ensuite suggests it's a persistent problem. It didn't personally upset me, but it detracted from an otherwise perfect stay.

The host was very nice! However, the hotel is extremely outdated. The beds and pillows were uncomfortable. Sheets on the beds were stiff and scratchy. One of the shared toilets (with the rest of the guests mind you) had a really bad odor of sewage. Just lacking.

This was well priced accommodation for a 3 night stay, whilst working in the area. Free parking was always available when I needed it. TV was very good in the room. Heating was good. Nice little sitting room (that no one seemed to use apart from me). Nice place to sit and read in comfort in the evening. Cleaning staff were lovely, and helpful. Minor points - I did see a lovely little dining room, but never worked out how you booked breakfast. Perhaps more info re this would be good. As with virtually all bathrooms, the silicone sealant in the shower could do with ‘refreshing’ soon. Overall, I would definitely use it again.

We always cone to the Clayhanger if we are going to stay in the potteries. It was wonderful to be welcomed by Elaine, who did a great job. I shall be sending a donation towards her mini market project in the post once we get home as i didnt have any change. The room was lovely and extremely clean. We have previously stay twice and the rooms are very well maintained and have everything you need. We have previously had our own bathroom, but we opted for a shared bathroom and toliet. This is where I have a slight issue, as the toliet has no outlet it does have a very strong smell, although as I said before, it was very clean. The bathroom really just needs a bit of TLC, the sealant really needs replacing, I wasnt too phased, but I know other people who would be horrified at the black mold all around the bottom of the shower. Its just off putting really. I didnt complain because we had opted for a shared bathroom. The parking is very good at the back of the hotel and they ensure you can park by putting out cones and barrels. We didnt have breakfast, before breakfast was included, my partner previously had srambled egg as this was the only choice. It is now £5 per person, I dont think that is a bad price and I am assuming it is now chargeable due to the cost of living. I am sure we will stay again at some point, it is very good value afterall.

The bed was extremely uncomfortable. I’m six feet two inches tall - so not freakishly tall - but the stairs and room were quite difficult to navigate. The switch to activate the shower was hidden above the entrance to the bathroom. It was like a mini Escape Room challenge trying to find it!

Nice enough staff, clean room. You are near to the town centre which is just a 5 minute walk away. The lady who checked me in forgot to give me the code to the gate, not a big issue. Noisy environment outside the room from other guests and both times I have stayed here, I have found the room to be warm, just slightly to warm to be comfortable while under a duvet but too cold without one haha Being picky, the water pressure on the sink is quite high so you need to be careful opening the tap otherwise you get slashed with water.
