The hotel was pleasant enough, with friendly and welcoming staff on reception and in the bar.
The room was clean and nicely decorated in the main and just what we needed for an overnight stay.
The grounds were clean and tidy and there is plenty of parking available, in a semi-rural location.
The downside is that the decor was starting to look a little tatty - e g. the inside of the room's door had been white previously, but had been overprint in a dark blue. It was scratched, so you could see the white showing through. There were areas of carpet on the ground floor that had been taped down (presumably to prevent trips). The outside seating area looked tired, with planters full of weeds, not plants. It could do with some investment in areas such as this, as it's obviously been some time since there was any attention to such things.
I witnessed another guest giving similar feedback to a member of staff and someone else complaining about their evening meal. There are things to be sorted out, but it was perfectly acceptable for a midweek one night stay.

Hotel is in a fairly isolated spot that requires you to only use the hotel facilities rather than anywhere else. The car park is large and the car parking spaces (as with most these days) are too small for most modern cars. The room was sufficient but for an upgrade it was disappointing. The bed was the only decent thing as it was super king size (not all the rooms are, depends what you book). The room was basic but sufficient, a little sparse in terms of comfortable furniture and limiting on the tea/coffee facilities. The bathroom and shower were good. Acoustics wise, the room was noisy from other guests in the corridor, door banging was prevalent as well as light pollution from under the door into the room at night and rubbish curtains. Overall, hotel is tired and needs updating and some courtesy signage to remindnither guests to keep quiet and not allow dorrs to slam. Corridor carpets were awful too. Breakfast was disappointing, horrible grey looking bacon, only scrambled eggs (as it probably needs less chefs for fried, poached etc). Coffee machine was awful. Hotel probably offers value for money but I would say it was not competitive with other hotels in the area (holiday Inn express for example) which was far better. I ventured and tested this place as it had the word 'Marriott' in the title but please take my advice and don't bother. There are far better hotels for the same or less.

A fine everyday hotel. I only stayed one night for a visit to the nearby Bletchley Park Museum. But the staff were happy too help on arrival. The room was clean and tidy with all amenities working fine.

This is a really nice hotel, lots of parking, handy for the OU (and for simply passing through) and very clean. Staff are great and hardworking. Hotel is quiet/relatively well soundproofed. Beds are clean and comfy. Good shower water pressure too.The breakfast is marvellous but the dinner/all day menu has changed to a constricted version of what it was, which is a bit of a shame.

Great hotel, enjoyed our stay, nice clean room, plenty of lovely fluffy towels in the bathroom, which was very clean, and plenty of pillows to. We had the breakfast which was buffet style so you can have as much or as little as you want, it was very enjoyable.we will definitely stay here again.

Unfortunately we didn't stay at this hotel as the staff members on the phone when we tried to book. The after trying to book 1st member just put the phone down. The 2nd time I tried I got a foreign lady who I found quite difficult to understand just said you can't book over the phone at the weekend as the reservations department doesn't work at the weekend which I find to ge a really vad business model. Needless to say we booked elsewhere.
