Functional Stay Near Business Park

decent room sizeclean roomhelpful staffhard mattress
The room was a decent size and it was very clean when I arrived. I had no issues with the bar or pool table . The staff were helpful and cute during check-in and throughout my time here, especially in the mornings.
The mattress had a topper, and only the topper had a sheet fitted. This seemed like an attempt to save money, but the mattress itself felt hard. I found it hard to get a good night's sleep because of this.

the staff were friendly and polite, which i appreciated after a long drive.
i was given a room with two single beds instead of the double i booked, it was frustrating i wasn't informed of this beforehand and the beds were quite hard , made it difficult to sleep well.

clean roomspacious bathroomcomfortable bedfriendly place
for a quick trip near the m4, this was ideal. the room was quite clean and the bathroom spacious. i slept soundly because the bed was so comfortable. returning late, i saw many people in the bar, it looked a friendly place.
I found the pillows a little flat for my taste. An extra pillow would have been perfect.

Convenient stay near the motorway

ample parkingneat roomconvenient choice
I found ample parking spaces right outside the entrance, simplifying arrival. The room was neat and had all the essentials needed for an overnight stay. There is a mini supermarket and some takeaway options within a short walking distance, and that provided convenient choices.
The room looked a bit dated. It could benefit from some modern updates.
