Reviews and Ratings
The rooms were small but adequate, clean, and comfortable, with easy parking. The service was friendly and professional, though a bit abrupt at times. The location was good for onward travel, but there were issues during breakfast service.
The hotel offers small rooms at a high price, but I appreciated the convenient location near the motorway and pet-friendly amenities. The service was lacking in friendliness, reminiscent of a cruise ship experience. The dining options were to my liking, especially the option to boil your own eggs. The facilities need some improvement, but the secure parking was a plus.
The hotel had lovely rooms with really effective air conditioning, making it a welcome escape from the summer heat. The evening meal was excellent. However, the distance of the rooms from the car park and restaurant was a downside and felt inconvenient for guests like me. The rooms were small, suitable for an overnight stay but may feel cramped for longer visits.
I couldn't ask for a better stay! The location was superb near the motorway with a fantastic chef, and the housekeeping service was impeccable. However, the room was smaller than expected, and the dining experience didn't quite meet my expectations. The facilities were top-notch, but the price was a bit on the higher side.
The hotel is conveniently located near the motorway, making it a suitable stopover between destinations. The room was clean and tidy, albeit quite small. The service was hit or miss, with a mix of friendliness and indifference. The dining experience was chaotic during peak times. However, the facilities were adequate for a short stay.
The hotel rooms are a little on the small side but quite adequate for a one night stay. They were lovely, with air con that was really effective and very welcome in the summer heat. The evening meal was excellent, but there was an unfamiliar distribution of light switches.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The location was convenient near the motorway network, but it was a bit outside of Sainted. The service was friendly and helpful, although a bit too enthusiastic with the herbs in the restaurant. The dining experience was satisfactory with some unique touches but lacked variety. The rooms were well-designed for accessibility and had a large desk, but my requested room was not available. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
Despite a few drawbacks, my stay at the hotel was overall satisfactory. The rooms were of standard size and design, though a bit small for my liking especially during the hot spell. The male waiter staff were a bit rude and unhelpful, but the other staff members were friendly and welcoming. The location was convenient, being close to the A10 motorway, but a bit far from town. The dining experience was enjoyable, particularly the option to boil your own eggs for breakfast. The facilities were decent, though not exceptional.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were more than adequate, and even though the first one had a strange smell, it was quickly changed. The service was friendly overall, but some staff members seemed a bit abrupt and aggressive. The location was convenient for my stopover on a long journey, near the motorway network, but not close to town. The dining options were decent, though not as varied as in similar motels, and a bit pricey. The facilities were satisfactory, but nothing extraordinary.
