Room was basic but perfectly functional. Looks like it might have been an 'old' Travelodge ? ||Close to the airport and there is a shuttle for £8 each way. Heaps cheaper than the black taxi's at the train station ... who charge £30 ! …

This place is quite accessible through all modes of transportation. Like if you want to go there by bus then just pic 43 Airport service bus, the bus will drop you very near to hotel 🏨. From there you can easily go into the hotel.Obviously taxi 🚕 is the all weather comfortable choice.

The hotel was to good standards. The food was decent enough considering it was buffet it was freshly brought out regular. The rooms were decent. The only downfall was we had some drunk nutter in the room next door kicking off til 4amBut the staff dealt with it appropriately and the manager give 50% refund. And the spa was to great quality the next day. Overall good.

Had a spa day here for three. The building and facilities are a little dated, but the service was outstanding. Staff were friendly and relaxed and we felt really comfortable. The gym is small but well equipped. Changing rooms and showers were clean and bright and the swimming pool is a good temperature. I enjoyed a facial which was one of the best I've had.

My partner and I stayed at this hotel for one night before we travelled on our holidays. We left the car for seven days which was good and got a shuttle bus to the airport and back. …

Had read lots of bad reviews so we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. Fast check in no waiting as we got our room keys on the coach before we got of. Straight to our room which we were dreading but everything was spotless. Looked like it had just had a new makeover. New bathroom sink and toilet bedroom furniture a bit dated but sheets etc all spotless. Large room so plenty of space. Food nothing to brag about but it was passable..

Reception staff do not go overboard with warm words and courtesy- very basic manners. Rooms clean and comfy though very dated. Bathroom needed a major refit - loose ceiling tiles and tired decor. Evening meal the worst restaurant meal I have ever had- reminiscent of the worst kind of school dinner- literally shrivelled vegetables and gravy skin the consistency of huge oil slick. Wine from the bar quite honestly undrinkable - like vinegar. We had paid for the airport parking deal but still had to pay quite a substantial amount for the transfer shuttle service! I would never stay here again- relatively cheap but fairly unpleasant.
