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
