Leeds overnighter

Liked: 3rd stay so they're obviously getting something right. If you come here expecting a budget hotel then you will not be disappointed. This place gets a lot of things right? And one of those is a really good breakfast and another is a genuinely friendly, warm welcome from staff
Disliked: Radiator in the ensuite of room 231 is stuck on and red hot in the middle of summer

Perfect location, great value. It's...

Liked: Perfect location to stay when going to watch the cricket at Headingley. Free parking, comfortable beds, all the basics were there - TV, shower, hot drinks, etc. Just what we needed.
Disliked: Missed the turning for the hotel first time around and had to loop back round Headingley in heavy traffic, as we were looking for an actual road to turn down rather than the side passage of the property. Just a note for future guests - this was the fault of the satnav than the hotel - so just approach slowly and keep your eyes peeled!
