"I found the room to be more than enough for my needs, I found it to have clean carpets, clean sheets & pillow cases, comfortable bed, working heating (works a treat), TV, Internet that actually works very well, wash room/toilet facilities that are excellent, also in the executive rooms are fridges, I've seen reviews about noise from the motorway, but in all honesty the hotel is situated a stones throw from it in a service station, so you'd expect to hear traffic, however this is for an overnight stop and not a vacation, so this point can be overlooked, if you don't want to stay here because of traffic noise then book somewhere else away from the motorway, simples."
