dusty panels absent breakfast
The absence of breakfast options at the hotel was a bit much. I mean, who doesn't offer breakfast? My room wasn't exactly super clean. There was dust on, well, pretty much everything like the panels and skirts. I almost reminded me of I was contributing to an archeological dig.

Restful stopover near alton towers

spacious room restful evening
The room was quite spacious and very comfortable. The quality and finish were really good, i noticed the detail in the decor. It was a great location for a restful evening after visiting alton towers and check out was easy.
Unfortunately, the room lacked a small fridge and bottled water, it would have been a nice addition to the room. The stairs leading to the room were also quite narrow. They could pose a risk for some guests. i think this needs addressing.
