Digital key arrived at my phone almost after I done OLCI around 6:30pm at some motorway services, no room choice but I’m in the new orchard wing.
It’s kinda nice, obviously very new…digital key worked fine for entrance door and room .

KING SUPERIOR ROOM - it’s reasonably big ,nice decor, huge tv, desk and comfy armchair…. Bed is superking size ( European) and very comfy, two bottles of water .
Will upload some photos later…

BATHROOM - it’s very small although the monsoon shower is fairly large, that said it’s not particularly powerful but perfectly adequate….fluffy towels and nice bathrobes..
Popped to bar for a swift beer and wandered around, don’t seem to remember the bar area, great looking menu and reasonably priced, I wish I didn’t eat at the motorway services now!

GYM - poked my head in , it’s clean and tidy but very sparse with not much equipment, I hope to get a quick workout in the morning.

Annoyingly there is a function on in the orchard suite and it’s heavy bass is loud, I can see the ear plugs coming out later!

About to retire ( hopefully ) , in the morning early breakfast and off to Newcastle.
Will report back!
