If you can avoid this hotel, I'd recommend you did, we changed rooms because the first one was tiny plus the base of the bed was filthy, second room bigger but bed was like something that came off Noahs Ark, talk about passion killer, the bed squeaked just by looking at it, back broke as it was so uncomfortable, meal was horrible. We had booked for 2 nights but left after the first, when checking out noone wanted to know why we were leaving a day early,honestly stay clear.

Okay, pricey for what you get.

Nice hotel downstairs, rooms a little dated Reception staff not overly friendly. Spa staff nice but it shuts at 5. 45pm which is a shame as on a wk nd it would be nice to chill after a meal. Corridors noisy with drunks coming back from Richmond presumably,so bring ear plugs.

Stayed here before, and will probably stay again

1-night stay for a business trip. This hotel is in a convenient location right on the Scotch Corner junction. Room was clean and as expected, easy parking. The restaurant was OK for both breakfast and dinner, not fine dining but decent enough. I recommend this one over the next Holiday Inn further north.

Good value, few improvements needed.

Breakfast choice was good, service was great. Good value stay for the 3 nights. Cleanliness could be improved. The bedding wasn't changed, even though it visibly needed to be. Given a larger room due to having a travel cot. Travel cot provided was great standard. Overall, happy with the stay.
