Willington Hotels with Breakfast

Booked this to meet friends, we live in the North West and they live in the south so this was round about in the middle between us. It was an ideal location for what we wanted (a chilled night with good food and drinks). Situated in a service station with plenty of facilities (coffee shop which serves lovely coffee, a pub the cherry tree, which was great for drinks and a kfc ) the location was pretty perfect. For a 2* budget hotel it did what I expected. The room was clean and basic. There wasn’t coffee/tea making facilities in the room but 24/7 drink making facilities in reception are available. Ok the reason why I’ve given 3/5 the best was so uncomfortable I struggled to sleep. My husband wanted to stay out to watch the end of the boxing but I went back to hotel I had to stay awake to let him in because we were only issued with one key card (standard apparently ). So I had to stay awake to let him in the room. My husband attempted to get a beer on return, from the hotel bar but was told he couldn’t drink it in the bar area because the night staff had cleaned already. The staff on the door were rude to my husband when he tried to get back in because he was a little stupid and couldn’t work out how to get back in (after coming in and going back out to the car passing and saying hello to the staff ). It required the scanning of the door with your hotel key card but reception staff are also able to let patrons in from the inside (I think it was slightly inconvenient). These issues didn’t ruin our stay - we had a great time, but warranted the 3/5 in my opinion
