“This hotel stands opposite the train station, a practical spot despite being in a somewhat rundown area; however, the friendly staff and proximity to Alton Towers-just ten miles away-are definite advantages for vacationing families. While some may find the rooms needing refurbishment and attention to detail, the clean bed sheets are a plus for an overnight stay. I think it is fine for those on a budget.”
