Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers an excellent lite breakfast and features comfortable beds along with walk-in showers. The location is very near to Pontefract racecourse where we were visiting, but it's quite isolated in a dodgy area. The service is good, including amenities like housekeeping and a paid airport shuttle.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay with a convenient location near the local football ground and Pontefract racecourse. The rooms are well-equipped with all facilities and a satisfying continental breakfast. The service is attentive, and the dining experience is inclusive. However, the pricing might not be the best value for money.
I had a delightful stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy, and the continental breakfast was excellent. The service was top-notch, but the shared bathroom was a drawback. The location was convenient, near the town center. The dining experience with fruit juice was a nice touch. Overall, a great value for money.
