Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms, but some areas look tired. The location is ideal for exploring the nearby attractions, although the rooms could use some updating. The dining experience was pleasant and good value, and the service was decent. Overall, a cozy place with solid food options.
My stay at the hotel was overall enjoyable with some ups and downs. The location was great, close to nice pubs and the Sherwood Forest visitors center, offering clean rooms, but the dining experience could be improved. The friendly staff and comfortable rooms made up for the minor inconveniences.
The hotel rooms were clean and warm, equipped with everything needed for our stay. However, the size was quite small, and the location was a bit isolated, requiring a few miles drive to reach shopping areas. The price was a bit high considering the room size. The room had a clear pane of glass overlooking the main staircase and was on the top floor without a lift, making it a bit of a climb, especially with luggage.
