Great hotel with spotless room and great service. There was a large queue at check-in so I was referred to the self service kiosk which was a seamless and extremely efficient alternative. Very impressed!

Expected better to be honest. Room was quite dated. Bedside lamp missing. Old, poor quality TV. The double bed was actually 2 singles pushed together. Have stayed in much nicer hotels for much less money

This is the best Clayton Hotel we have stayed in and we have stayed in a few now. Breakfast 5/5 Room spaciousness 5/5 Staff friendliness 5/5, Emma on reception is outstanding Cleanliness and room cleaning 1/5. This is the only issue with this hotel. Housekeeping is abysmal.

Generally good. Convenient location, helpful staff, nice pool. The bathroom needs an uplift however - lots of black mould on the silicon around the shower detracts from an otherwise clean and comfortable room.
