Standard issue HI Express situated on the M4 near Swindon…read more Pretty busy on a Friday night, luckily there is plenty of free parking. Rooms are quite cosy but clean and fresh. There is a kettle for tea and coffee but only a couple of plug sockets to charge gadgets. Rooms sleep 4 at a push. Oddly the lift button is pointing the wrong way up (down) and one of the lifts doesn't have a button with the 3rd floor on it. Instead it's an up button. Odd! Notwithstanding a good place to stay for an early getaway to South Wales.

Do you like beige? Yes? Then this is the hotel for you…read more Everything about this place is mediocre; the functionally bland rooms with their tiny en-suites, the price, the food, the location, the frustratingly slow wifi and the colour scheme. Beigeness. And that's not even a real word. The website description starts with the excitement inducing sentence: 'This welcoming hotel is less than 5-minutes drive from junction 15 of the M4 and 2 miles from central Swindon.' QED. Incidentally, waiting 90 minutes for room service is not pleasant. I actually gnawed part of my arm off due to the hunger. No doubt the restaurant was busy and it's near Christmas and blah blah blah. On the plus side the staff are nice enough and very helpful. In addition, there is a swimming pool, sauna, Jacuzzi and gym for all your fitness needs. Oh, it's also close to a steam museum... So, if you're the sort of person who likes to stay in cheap, clean and vapid environments for a night, don your M&S khaki trousers and drive your Toyota Corolla down the M4 for a fun-filled yawn-fest. This place achieves in providing you with everything you need but nothing you really want.

We also were able to take a day to explore Swindon, which itself turned out to have pleasant surprises in store. But this hotel was a great value in a location well suited as an anchor point for a visit to this region. We arrived late and finding exactly how to reach the front entrance was a little challenging with the urban street routing and just the general way the UK engineers their traffic flow (let's just say that the thoughts of the traffic engineers in the UK are not my thoughts). But we finally found the road to the front of the facility. The person checking us in was efficient and helpful. We found our room with little problem. The parking here was limited, but there was fortunately room for our car in the garage even though we arrived late in the evening. They did offer a suggestion for cheaper off-site parking had their garage been full or had we wanted to save a few pounds. But we preferred the sheltered, limited access location on-site. The hotel was up to HI Express standards in general. Our room was adequately spacious and clean. The bathroom was slightly cramped, especially the shower, but this is not unusual for Europe. The bed was reasonably comfortable and there was minimal nightime noise, which allowed for a good night's sleep. The WiFi worked well throughout our stay. The breakfast was more than adequate for our needs and the breakfast room afforded adequate seating. The cinnamon rolls go fast, but the hot food availability was more than sufficient with eggs, meat, beans and potatoes. Breads, cereal and yogurt were also available. The reason for choosing this hotel was the price. At around £75 per night, this was very attractive for what it offered. The experience was what I expected if not a bit better than I expected, making this a very good value. I also received my IHG points, which is important to me as a Platinum Member. We would use this hotel again if we make a return visit to the area.

First they left one tissue left in the tissue box then we only had enough toilet paper for one use no back up toilet paper. A towel had a brown stain on it when I was about to use it. Then the phone wasn't working. They came down to try to fix it with no luck and didn't even offer to accommodate us to another room. I asked receptionist if they had a microwave and they sent me to the restaurant and I asked the server and he said yes they can warm up my food then the manager came yelling saying no no our food and I said okay that's fine no big deal.
