Excellent friendly staff
Lovely hotel with excellent staff, they couldn't do enough to help us. Comfortable room with good facilities.
The only little niggle was the outside security light kept coming on which made the room very bright when trying to sleep.

Excellent
The internet connection is unstable. Other than that, it’s great place to stay. Friendly and competent staff. Clean room. Great bar. The hotel is within talking distance to the Lancaster train station (ca. 13-15 min) and local bus stops (ca. 5 min.)
