Room was clean but only one chair in corner. No chair at desk. No bedside table on either side so book, clock, iPad and water had to go on Floor. Very small double bed and hopeless wifi. I had to re register every time I left it. Reception was terrible and very slow. Bathroom was ok, but no glasses, just the coffee mugs.

Hotel on M1 northbound but main eating facilities are on southbound services so you have to cross the bridge. It’s a standard room with plentiful parking outside in the main services car park - great for breaking up a motorway journey but nothing outside of the services you want to venture out. Staff friendly and helpful. Great value room

My room was noisy at night once the TV was off. Accept traffic noise when staying at a service station but sounded more like a generator running all night outside the window somewhere.

Disliked: Amenities
A decent sized room but the maintenance of the room hasn’t been maintained. The window didn’t close properly which meant the noise from the traffic was extra loud (we were expecting some noise but not that loud). The remote control for the tv didn’t work, the standnext to the bed was missing so couldn’t put anything next to me and despite it being a room for 3 people we only had 2 towels.

A very noisy and basic room. Expected some noise staying at the services but the room was next to the lorry parking area so was very uncomfortable. Window broken and didn’t close properly. Bed and pillows were poor quality. Soap dispenser had not been refilled. You pay for what you get. Wouldn’t recommend unless nothing else available in the area.
