Will give it a 4/5 and would stay again!
Room was comfortable with plenty of storage which was a bonus! Tv was great. Beds comfortable and bathroom was clean but there was no shower gel/hair wash in the container over the bath which posed a problem for me as I used soap for my hair, of which there was three soaps. The room was very cold until I discovered an electric heater on top of the wardrobe compartment. Overall it was good 👍 Can’t say about breakfast as we’ve not had it yet!

Ok place to stay
Took 3 trys to get into room, back and forth to reception, then door lock had to be manually reset. Plumbing made loud noises and took ages for toilet to flush. No doorknob on inside of toilet door. Linen was clean. Beds firm but ok.

They are trying to get the place better. Very poor wifi and ridiculous plumbing issues were too much for me . I recently contacted to see if the issues had been resolved , the receptionist had no idea of the issues although he was one of the staff I spoke to. Manager not available and I was unable to call back . I was there for 5 nights, plenty of time to deal with issues .

Newly refurbished
Comfortable and clean. The bar man Adrian was very friendly. Room was not cleaned, Adrian told us that we had to ask for cleaning as it was not an automatic service!! We had no hit was, when we asked about this the maintenance staff said that there was a fire alarm which turns off certain systems and the hot water is one of the affected systems!

Not great but it did the job
I chose this hotel specifically because it had free parking and was close to the motorway - it was a one night stop-over to break up a long drive.
The car parking was easy and free - just enter your reg at reception.
There was no food service available that evening, which I think I'd read when I booked.
The hotel reception is pleasant per the pictures, but beyond there it looks a bit more low budget.
Our room looked like it had been recently decorated, and was clean, but felt quite basic. We could hear voices/conversations from the next room and hear plugs/switches being turned on and off - so not sound proofed. The shower over the bath-tub was warm but not great, and the flimsy bath tub felt like you were going to fall through it when you moved. That said, the room was warm and the neighbours weren't noisy so we had a good nights sleep.
For the budget price that I paid, it was ok and did the job

Stay clear if you dont carry passport
What a ridiculous hotel .we checkedbin at 1am after a 6 hour drive obviously a little wary and we were confronted by a young lady asking for our passport i explained i did not have it .why would i need a passport in england ? She then said a credit caed would not do only a drivers licence.i explained mybwalletbwas in one of my bags in my very full car.she said unless you get it you cannot check in .i admit i lost it at that point but to be told by a non british subject that every hotel in the uk was the same is just plain lies .i travelled all over the uk last year and managed over 100 nights in hotel says .this is the first time in my life i have been told this rubbish .i checked into gleneagles todaybfor a week at no time was i asked for identification at any time .hotels.com are at fault here because it should have a warning saying unless you have id you cannot enter and would have to spend the evening in your car at -7degrees outside.nowhete does hotels.com tell you any of this.i certainly would never set foot in a britannia hotel again and would seriously question the people skills of its employees.i also may stop using hotels.com and go back to booking. Com they dont have these archaic rules ..shame on you britannia hotels

NO ID NO ROOM!!!!!
Nearly never got booked in as we had no ID, after travelling 5 hours from Portsmouth very tired and with Motorway closed in the area just just booked but there was no mention of ID on booking and staff couldn’t give a toss. Luckily had a photo of driving licence on my phone and eventually go in then got upstairs and every foot step creaked the floor boards!!
