“Carpets really need a good cleaning!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Stayed one night on business, and didn't eat in the evening so cannot comment on their evening food offer. Generally a good impression on entering, and reception was quick and efficent. The room was fine, reasonably spacious, and had a decent sized en-suite. The bed was comfy, and it was quiet. A good nights sleep was had. But the carpets were terrible. As soon as you start to walk down the corridor towards your room you cannot help but notice the marked, stained, generally shabby carpet,(although not threadbare), and in my room it was just as bad. It was soft enough walking on it, it was just stained.
The breakfast offer was quite good - buffet style help yourself.. Cereals, fruits, toast, tea & coffee, and Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, tomatoes, mushrooms and baked beans. Unfortunatly the "orange juice" tasted like orange squash. I'v just returned from Spain, and the orange juice there is superb and always fresh, so I suppose I've been spoilt, but it really wasn't good.

Room Tip: It's in a quiet location, just far enough away from the M42, so I expect most rooms would be qui...

Thankyou for your comments, i was dissapointed to read your dissatisfaction with the hotel food when at no time did you comment to the staff, our menu is changed daily and appart from one night it appears that you did not eat in the hotel so your comments are based on one meal. All main courses range from £7.00 upwards with many below £10.00 however your company were paying for two courses.
With regards to been asked to leave the restaurant with your own food as in any hotel restaurants are for guests dining in the hotel. we had no problem with you eating your food in your room, would you take an indian into macdonalds.

“Saturday night stop off”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

Just stopped off for one night, as needed to stay somewhere on my way back from London. Very reasonably priced and a good nights stay.
Friendly and helpful staff. There was a big event on that night at the hotel, so it was busy for a while in the main reception/foyer area, but after that it was fine. I had decent meal in the restaurant and then a very comfortable and restful nights sleep.

The bedroom was spacious, comfortable and pleasant. Some parts of the hotel weren't perhaps the most modern and contemporary, but it was all in good order and clean.

Breakfast was nothing special and a buffet style, but nice and there was plenty of it.

As long as you can get a room at the right price, then I'd definitely recommend this hotel.

“Great for visiting the NEC”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed for one night whilst visiting the NEC, the hotel is well situated and easy to find. The room was basic but clean, had everything we required, bathroom was also very clean and well appointed, most of all the bed was very comfortable.
On the night we stayed there was also a coach party booked in - the hotel was very busy but service never suffered, staff were always friendly and polite.
We went in to Burton on Trent for our evening meal, so cannot comment on the restaurant - however breakfast was more than sufficient - self service - plentiful, and well cooked
We paid a ridiculously low £49.00 for Double room B&B - hotel exceeded expectations

“Family Get To Gether”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

Booked one night stay for my brothers big birthday bash, once checked in found out that other family members had secured a room discount. I had booked via the web, on checking out asked if I also could have a discount, many many explanations as to why I couldnt have one, felt this was very unfair as my room was nearly double the discounted price and to add insult to injury on entering the bathroom I was faced with one very long brown hair in the handbasin, and two curly unmentionable shorter hairs on the vainty unit aghhhh! also a miserly amount of toiletries. Breakfast was like a first day at the sales all self service, not a pot of tea or coffee to be seen even the hot/warm water was in flasks. Will not stay at this chain again.
