The property was very tired and the stairs were covered in grass and dirt and remained so for the duration of our stay. The bath was dirty and the surrounding grout was disgusting and was covered in mould. The breakfast buffet was appalling and looked as it had been left out overnight and needless to say we did not partake of the food. We had stayed before but the apparent deterioration of standards will ensure we never stay there again and wouldn’t advise anyone else to do so either.

Past its prime but very cheap and clean rooms
Its cheap and cheerful if you're working in the area however its very run down and didnt even have a sign outside only the one under its previous name "The Milton Hilltop Hotel" that said the rooms were clean and staff helpful but dont expect any frills here. This hotel did used to have a gym and pool etc but all that is currently boarded up None of the staff have a uniform on so it was a little confusing trying to work out who worked there. Outside the hotel looks very bad with weeds everywhere and overgrown grass. If you want a cheap place to rest your head and nothing else then this is the place

Exactly what I was looking for.
The hotel is in an ideal location for the long trip north. 6 minutes from the m6. Very cost effective. Exactly what I was looking For. This is the new go to place for the trips to Scotland. By no means the ritz but it does what it need to do.

Could do better
Difficulty finding it - as it is NOT called Ox Hotel - some indication of this would be helpful when booking. The staff were pleasant. Room clean and quiet, bed comfortable, appliances and plumbing worked. Pie and mash supper was very basic and SO salty. I didn't have breakfast. It needs a thorough refurbishment, corridors smell of stale smoke, decoration tired to tatty.

For the money... not a bad overnight stop.
Ok.. this place is cheap, i mean super cheap! You are not staying at the savoy, so drop your expectation and you wont be disappointed! Its clean, staff are lovely. Their beds i can only assume they got from guantanamo bay! My god ive never slept on something so uncomfortable. Its in need of some desperate renovation to bring it upto todays standards. Again.... its cheap as a campsite so i wasnt expecting too much. However for the price we paid.... id not discount it again should i be passing.

Disappointed in the hotel in a number of areas.Firstly it is very tired and needs upgrading.We had an adjoining room with only a small catch dividing us and strangers next door .The bar had very little drink on offer and the breakfast was awful and there was no bacon or fruit .If we had known what was on offer would have given it a miss.There was no bread until a guest asked for some and two loafs appeared still in its wrappers.After we checked in we asked for a change of room as there was young lads who were being boisterous next door .We were told the hotel was fully booked .Clearly a lie as the hotel was half empty.The positives were the linen and towels which were clean and the staff were in the main friendly and did what they could but felt they were embarrassed by the situation they found themselves in .The morning receptionist was openly apologetic.We would not stay here again ever and feel let down by Hotels.com having this on offer.This is the first time I have ever complained about any hotel I have ever stayed at and like I said very disappointed.

The sign for the sex clinic next door was bigger than the sign for our hotel. The hotel was understaffed with the receptionist running the bar and the desk and constantly running between without support. The room was worn out and old, no iron in the rooms, the bath was gross, there was insufficient ventilation and no climate control.
