We stayed here on our Hen Weekend as they had an Abba tribute band on, with a 3 course meal. I've seen other reviews saying to avoid the hen parties, but we are well behaved hens, so weren't running around the hotel at all hours! Our room was very nicely decorated, with plenty of room although they all seem to... More

Room 1 There was no heating on in the room. The light did not work in the bathroom. When a maintenance representative turned on the radiator on it sprung a slow leak. The radiator had not been cleaned for some years the dust was exceptionally thick between the blades of the radiator. The carpet had not been vacuumed for some,... More

I have phoned and asked for someone to come and do it and I have also... More

I stayed here as working in West Bromwich until the end of April and thought it may be nicer than the usual chains. I got there later in the evening and receptionist was lovely and booked me in. The room was small and I felt grubby and very warm. I was on the ground floor and windows opened wide so... More

Was not offered breakfast as an option on line so when I checked in I asked if I could add breakfast to the room rate, I was told this would be £12 extra !! Then I was advised that if I had booked the room as B... More
