Positive Reviews
positive:
Clean, modern room.
The rooms are often described as "spotless", with comfortable furnishings and plenty of space. Many guests find the beds to be very comfortable and enjoy waking up to the "all you can eat" breakfast. Despite the nearby motorway, few guests report much traffic noise.
positive:
Cheerful, capable staff.
Guests give high marks to the front desk staff for their warm and professional service, noting that the check-in process is very efficient. The wait staff are often described as friendly and attentive.
positive:
Great value for money.
Guests widely consider the Ramada Wakefield Leeds M1 J40 to provide excellent value for money, as Wi-Fi and parking are included in the affordable nightly rates. The hotel is easy to find, just off the M1, and well situated for travels into Leeds, Wakefield, or York.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Secondhand smoking rooms...
While smokers very much appreciate smoking rooms as well as the designated outdoor smoking patio, the non-smoking guests are sometimes put off to discover that both types of room are offered on the same floor, resulting in cigarette odour in the hallways. Non-smoking guests have also commented that the outdoor smoking area is unfortunately located near the front entrance and windows of non-smoking rooms.
negative:
Do keep your voice down...
While most guests report a peaceful sleep, a few guests reported overhearing their neighbours speaking at a normal volume, while others were disturbed by noise from the hallway. Some were kept awake by the sound of their fellow guests enjoying a few drinks in the outdoor patio, or by noisy plumbing. A small group also found the adjoining single beds to be uncomfortable.
negative:
A limited dinner menu...
Some guests found the dinner menu to be too limited for their liking, while others reported that the available options were tasty. Others wished for 'lighter' options at breakfast.
