My stay at the Hickshead hotel has been excellent in many respects, especially the helpfulness of the staff and their proactive attitudes. Unfortunately if you have a room facing the carpark not only do you get woken up at silly o'clock by patrons chatting in the carpark but also by the smell of cigarette smoke coming in through the window. Yes I did have to get up and close the window. The Hotel is very convenient, the food is good and as I say the Staff make this place somewhere I will return.

Room was nice staff were friendly , but there was a horriable smell that made you feel sick smelt like sewage or something in the lobby and corridors which was off putting . The breakfast was over priced and the bacon was rock hard and looked like it had been warmed up in the microwave and eggs were over cooked . So disappointing . Staff were lovely though and location was good

The room was ok and staff were helpful. We struggled to get a good night’s sleep, however, because we could hear everything in the room next to us…this included: every word they said, someone snoring and even the dog whimpering in it’s sleep because it was dreaming.

The location was great! The stay was spoilt by a noisy delivery to the hotel at 1am which went on until 1.45am! and lead to a disturbed night.

When I was lost finding the hotel the receptionist very kindly looked up where I was and guided me to the hotel. When on a Sunday evening I was too tired to go out to supper the staff arranged for a sandwich to be made for me. This is the sort of thing that clients remember later and is such good practice.

I stayed here for five nights. The first night I was woken every two hours from midnight onward by a dog barking in an adjacent room, it turns out the hotel is 'pet friendly'. The staff were able to give me another room but once there the noise came from other guests slamming doors well into the night. The first room was very basic. No fridge in which to keep food or drink. Bathroom was okay, lots of hot water and a good shower. Second room was in better decorative condition but still no fridge. The hotel is somewhat isolated so unless you drive elsewhere you have to eat in the hotel. The only other option within walking distance is a Burger King about a mile away.I had breakfast on the first morning but didn't bother afterward. 'Variety' boxes of children's cereal (sugary and inedible) are not my thing so I had a cheese omelette which was overcooked and so heavy I couldn't finish it. I blame myself for not checking reviews before booking (I was in a hurry). I suppose the (low) room rate reflects what you get for the money. It's okay for a single night perhaps but not really for me.
