We opted for breakfast in our room and enjoyed the options we received, especially the pancakes. Everything was spotless and all the staff we welcoming and helpful. There was a cafe option as well as the restaurant which was nice.

Great hotel for a pit stop

A great hotel for a comfortable and friendly place to stay. It’s not fancy, and a little tired in places, but it’s super clean, the beds are great and the staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Plenty of parking - just remember to put your reg in at reception. Overall a good pit stop
Nicola, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Breakfast was on the cold side and the bread tasted stale
Janet, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The small things we asked staff to do was undertaken without any problems. Restaurant staff and receptionists superb. My two concerns were lack of disabled car parking spaces, only three seen for 91 room hotel and swimming pool at hotel front due to rain. The latter appeared to be remedied day before we left.
Brian, 2-night trip

Decent hotel, comfy room, good breakfast, good dinner.
jakub, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The sofa bed was extremely uncomfortable, the springs of the mattress was felt fully when my stepson was trying to sleep. A new thicker mattress is required. He never got any sleep and ended coming into bed with us. Spoilt what would have been a good stay
marnie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed here before, and will probably stay again

1-night stay for a business trip. This hotel is in a convenient location right on the Scotch Corner junction. Room was clean and as expected, easy parking. The restaurant was OK for both breakfast and dinner, not fine dining but decent enough. I recommend this one over the next Holiday Inn further north.
