Best Hotels in Wakefield

Having stayed at this place sooo many times when travelling for work (must be 50+ times over the years!) I thought time for a review! In addition to this being OUTSTANDING VALUE and handily placed on the M62, I can't recommend the place and the staff enough. I've stayed at all the Days Inns in the UK and this is amongst my favourites. I was (and usually am) checked in by Suri who's helpful & cheerful but the whole team's great. Whilst the Days Inns (and Ramadas) in the UK are fairly basic though, my main reason for staying at them is for the Wyndham Rewards programme .... the points mount up quickly and often fund our family holidays abroad to stay in far more luxurious settings! The rewards programme is generous if you often stay away / on the road

The hotel is located on a motorway services which is handy as it has a food court next door with lots of different food options. It is just under 4 miles from the centre of Leeds; about 10-15 minutes by car. The look of the hotel is modern with a nice feel to it. They have a restaurant on site (which we didn't eat in) and an essentials/snack stand which is good for any forgotten bits or late night snacks. The hotel isn't very big with just 1 floor of rooms and this is accessible by lift or stairs. The room we had was a standard room and, for 1 night, it was perfect for us! There was everything you could need including a hairdryer, iron and ironing board, a safe and extra pillows. The bathroom also had hand-wash and body wash. Nice view over the rear garden/children's play area with fantastic blackout curtains! Decent TV with free view channels. Tea and coffee making facilities and loads of plug sockets including some next to the beds ...win win!! A little more attention to detail regarding cleaning as there was a fair amount of dust on the top of the mirror and some marks next to the sink in the bathroom. A great little addition would be restaurant/bar food and drink options and times in the room to look over when you arrive!

We booked a twin accessible room using IHG points. When we checked in we were told it is not available - its been allocated to someone else. It was a very fraught check in - husband wanted to punch someone & I was on the verge of tears. Why do they think we booked an accessible room - for fun???? I NEED an accessible room because I am disabled. We were also 2.5 hours from home. To give him his due Jay on reception asked us to wait while he checked things out. He offered us a drink from the bar but as hubby thought we might have to drive home he refused. We also had plans with son to go out to eat that evening. Eventually Jay said he had a double accessible room which we gratefully accepted. The window in the room, was in full sun, did not even open a crack which on a day where temps had reached 34 degrees was not ideal. We rang reception and they said they would get us a fan, which then had an electrical fault and only worked if you wiggled the wire - not ideal and pretty dangerous in my opinion. The ‘included breakfast” was a joke as we were told there was nothing hot but a continental breakfast. As a T1 diabetic who counts carbs croissants, muffins, cereal is not ideal so it was just banana for me. As the hotel was full it was also very busy and no tables available - took my banana and bailed out. Car park was close by & a reasonable price. There were a couple of restaurants close by. Aircon in the bar was lovely and the complimentary glass of wine was very good. It was quiet during the night and the accessible bathroom was great. I still can’t believe that they allow you to book an accessible room then give it to other customers.

Rooms were amazing, everything you need including a washing machine, iron, hair dryers, cutlery and cooker and microwave for cooking. Bed was so comfortable Location was so central, you were within a few minutes walked from shopping centre, bars etc Staff couldn’t have been more helpful Overall a lovely stay and highly recommend to anyone heading to Leeds

We had an overnight stay during our visit to Yorkshire and Peak District area. The reason that we chose this hotel is because it had 3 people rooms and it was part of the Accor All program. While being a budget hotel and providing rooms for three people to share, the rooms are very small and quite uncomfortable. If you want a budget short-stay, it is an option but I'm sure you can find more comfortable stays at a premier inn. Location wise, it was at ok distance to city centre however parking was hard to find and overnight parking expensive. HINT: Use the NCP parking nearby and the hotel can provide a validation that will give you a discount of 11£ (still I paid 9£). Here are some details: Welcome: The staff were helpful and attentive. However, there was no recognition of Accor All program status. They didn't provide any welcome drinks and no room upgrades could be offered since it is a standard room hotel. Rooms: The beds are comfortable but everything apart from that is uncomfortable. For three people rooms, the hotel has bunk beds which is hard to climb. There is nowhere to move in the room. The toilet is just a small cabin where you have no place to move and there is no bathroom, just a shower in the middle of the room. The sinks are in the room. Anything more than 1 night would be impossible for us. Hotel: It is an aged building and it is obvious at every corner. The elevators are smelly. The reception area is not inviting. Location: The hotel is central and a short walk to Leeds city centre. However, there is no free parking around. Park at NCP car park and the hotel will provide an 11£ discount voucher. Breakfast: They provide a basic breakfast with some cold food and sausage/bacon options. No eggs. The coffee wasn't great. It was affordable (6£ per person) but it is nothing notable. Staff: Very friendly and helpful. They helped us to find some extra pillows at night when we found out that only 1 was provided even though there was a special request for extra pillows in our reservation. Overall, I would not want to stay here again even though it provides all the necessities. This is mainly because the rooms were very small and claustrophobic and the hotel was quite aged. Apart from that, if you are looking for a good-value stay near Leeds, it could be an option.
