Hotel berhampiran Yorkshire Wildlife Park, Doncaster District

The guy that was on check-in and the bar was brilliant so helpful and friendly. Unfortunately the bed was so uncomfortable springs sticking in us and then after checking the mattress it had cigarette burns and stains. I know this is a budget hotel but the mattress should be comfortable and clean.

Stayed here for one night to break a journey up, fantastic hotel & incredibly nice staff - especially reception. We stayed In room 415 which was in a separate block lovely room & very very spacious. Breakfast was the letdown / not much choice & items had been eaten not replaced.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel and room was very clean. We dined in the restaurant one night and the food was okay,nothing to blow your mind. Checkin was prompt and very easy at 2pm. The main down side was the hotel bar closing at 10pm. With no chance for guests to get a drink before retiring to bed or having a conversation with other guests over a relaxing drink, not even a coffee or tea. I did ask and was told that brew facilities were in our rooms.You could walk across the carpark to the the pub.. but that closes at 11pm, and they had live music on one of the nights we stayed. Where in the modern world does a hotel not serve drinks to guests after 10pm? They are potentially losing extra money that in this day and age every business are trying to capture.Would I stay here again??? Probably not. Not simply because the bar was closed..but because basically the hotel closed at 10pm.

Absolutely brilliant experience considering the price! We knew we were going to be late to check in when stuck in traffic so called up to let them know and they said they hoped we were okay and wished us a safe journey - so kind! Staff were super friendly and welcoming which was lovely! The bar was closing as we arrived but we still managed to get a drink before heading to the rooms. They were in a separate building to the pub. Although the shop across the road had an alarm going off, you couldn’t hear anything at all from the rooms! Really nice touches having glasses as well as mugs, tea coffee and biscuits, really impressed for a budget hotel… and it was spacious, clean, comfy with air con that worked. Key card entry to the building and security at the main doors also helped things feel safe for us two ladies! We also ate food the following evening in the pub which was super quick, really hot and tasty as well as reasonable. Overall, never been so happy with value for money at a budget hotel within a good distance from amenities and a short drive from the racecourse, really chuffed - thank you! :)

Perfect for what we needed. Definitely will be staying again in the future

Stayed here on business with 5 colleagues. Best thing are the staff, who are really friendly and helpful. Room was adequate. Luckily I was away from the main road, so my stay was quiet. Other colleagues had to put up with other guests screaming & shouting & loud music. Bed was clean, but not hugely comfortable- too soft. Furniture had seen better days and lighting was ineffective. Only one full mirror in the room and it was in an alcove with no lighting so difficult to do hair/makeup. Bathroom was a huge plus - clearly recently upgraded with nice fittings and good, powerful shower with plenty hot water. Toiletries were fab - neroli & bergamot are my favourite scents and nice soft, white thick towels. Breakfast was very slow service. I asked for poached eggs (not advertised) & they were delicious but brown toast was 50/50 white/brown and barely hot bread. The waitress also kept forgetting our hash browns, which weren’t worth the wait. Full English looked nice. Colleagues said that there was a man, clearly off his face on drugs in the bar the night before as he sat gurning & grinding his teeth which was off putting, but thankfully I opted to head to bed after we’d returned from dinner. Wine was delicious, but not much of an atmosphere. Convenient for the train station and surrounding area & they offer discounted parking in the nearby Frenchgate shopping centre, which is secure. Would I stay again? Possibly, but only if on business again.
