Having stayed in the "Quality" hotel in Reading quite a few years ago I'd vowed never to stay with this chain again, anyway due to unavailability elsewhere I ended up booking this place. Firstly it's described as a town/city centre hotel, it's nothing like it - miles from anything, except the A5. Having eventually found the place at around 21:30 and checked in with the bored reception staff to find the restaurant closed, so had a burger bar meal instead, this was the same standard as the hotel, lacking any finesse or flavour. The room was OK but not too clean or cared for, I wouldn't have stayed more than 1 night for sure. My advice avoid this place unless it's very very cheap or your absolutely desperate.

A very average hotel. It's not in the middle of of Milton Keynes, it's in the middle of a roundabout outside of town. Facilities are basic, food is basic, staff are friendly however. If you are are going to Milton Keynes and can find another hotel for a similar price in the town itself, go for it.

This is a 'good' quality hotel, although the dinner in the restaurant wasn't all too special. Very friendly service, and the three nights for two offer was particularly good, saving a lot of money, for example if you went to the Travelodge instead.

Recommended A++

Location – Just off the A5 on the edge of Milton Keynes – the hotel is situated in two mile ash a pleasant residential area of MK. Looking over the golf course you cannot really complain about the setting – but if you want to go into the city you will need to drive.

Parking – Lots of parking & something different – 4 or 5 bays by the front door reserved for ladies – first time I have seen that.

The building – from the Tesco School of architecture of the late eighties / early nineties.

Reception & Public areas – Fresh & clean – tiled floors leather sofas.

The rooms – Large & comfortable – they do need updating but for a night or two they are fine. Two single beds pushed together with large duvet over.

The bathroom – good size, plenty of towels – shower over bath – the shower curtain had seen better days

Food – Breakfast usual self-service – but were happy to cook fresh fried / poached eggs to suit.

Staff – very friendly

Over all – you could do worse.

Tip – eat out in Stony Stratford the small village about two miles away – good choice of venue.
