Good stay.

Good hotel in centre of town, long stay carpark at rear of hotel £7 for 23hours,
S, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Two night midweek stay for work. Location is excellent as right in the centre of Wantage, with access to local shops and restaurants. No hotel car parking, but overnight parking available in local council car park (£3/night). Room was cosy and had all facilities needed for a comfortable stay. Relatively quiet during the night, but Wantage wakes around 5am, so expect to as well. Ate in the restaurant for the first night - good quality food, but ventured out the second night for greater menu variety. Good choice at breakfast with well-prepared meals. Quick service.

Room was clean and well stocked great for a one night stay but could do with updating. Although parking is off site it is right next to the hotel and reasonably priced.
