The hotel needs some TLC as it is undergoing refurbishment. The rooms were far away from the front door, especially the disabled parking, emphasizing a lack of accessibility. Oil-filled radiators were provided but couldn't fully combat the cold. The service was professional and friendly, with a range of drink options available, but there were some lapses in communication regarding room locations. The location was suitable for an overnight stop, but it might be inconvenient for city sightseeing. The dining experience was a bit mixed, with some food quality issues but generally good service. Overall, the place has potential but needs improvement for a more comfortable stay.

My stay at this hotel was overall satisfactory. The room was spacious and fundamentally clean and comfortable, despite a few minor chips and marks. The lighting was fine, but I couldn't keep the window open due to the noise of seagulls and traffic. The staff was attentive, helpful, and friendly, creating a good atmosphere. The location was convenient for a stopover on the way to Scotland. The dining experience was average with buffet-style options. The facilities met expectations overall.

The hotel is conveniently located just off the motorway, with outstanding service from the friendly and helpful staff. The rooms may appear a bit dated and tired, but the addition of a meal option during booking was very beneficial for our travel needs. The dining experience, up to usual Premier Inn standard, was a bit slow with the food delivery, and the facilities are standard without any standout features.

The hotel was in a convenient location just off the M6, making it ideal for a stopover during long journeys. The rooms were fresh and clean, but the noise from the road prevented us from opening the windows, leaving the room uncomfortably hot. The service was friendly and helpful, though we experienced some issues with housekeeping and limited staff availability. Dining was satisfactory, offering a buffet-style selection, but the dated decor in the restaurant was noticeable. Overall, the hotel caters to travelers looking for a quick respite but may need improvements in certain areas.

The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were serviced properly, but there were still coffee stains and hairs on the bathroom floor, which I reported but nobody in housekeeping took care of. On the positive side, it was very comfortable, though a bit warm. The location was convenient for a stop-off between Scotland and England, with modern amenities, but the dining experience was decent overall. The staff were friendly and helpful but were noticeably short-staffed, making the service a bit slow.

The hotel is conveniently located near major routes, making it ideal for overnight stays. The rooms, although in need of an upgrade, were spacious but quite cold initially. Despite mixed experiences with staff behavior, the service was exceptional overall and even led to a full refund without request. The dining options varied greatly, from excellent to basic fruit bowls, but overall value for money was worthwhile.
