There is only air conditioning in the reception. The rooms are easily over 30 degrees on both nights we stayed. Also the tables outside the hotel. The people were shouting at the table while drinking alcohol. So basically most of the night was very noisy

The property needs air conditioning. The room temperature was unbearable and the 1 small fan didn't do anything to help. The staff were fantastic. Hotel could do with a referb. The area outside the hotel was dirty but that's not the hotel's fault as it's a service station.

Room was basic! No air conditioning unfortunately, although a fan was provided. For any person planning a stay, try and ask for a room away from the HGV parking. Fridge trailers running all night, prevented being able to leave the window open for air.
