TV was broken, no 5G signal and the WiFi literally dropped out every 30 seconds. Shower pressure was very poor and stayed warm for about 5 minutes before turning cooler again. Bed was uncomfortable. Staff were friendly and service was good.

Stayed here a number of times over the last couple of years but this year it really has gone downhill.
Firstly they insist on taking your bank card from you and take a picture of the details before returning it. If you refuse they don’t let you stay.
Secondly the room cleanliness has deteriorated. This first room I was giving someone had left present in the toilet (still there after 2 flushes). The second room looked a lot cleaner with hot chocolate and biscuits. Nice touch.
I went to the bar and had one drink then back to my room for a hot chocolate. The cup was dirty.
The receptionist was lovely and very apologetic stating that the toilet was down to a backflow problem (on the first floor?). The dirty cup was down to the housekeepers time in each room reduced?
If the cleanliness of the room is this bad what is the kitchen like I wonder
Lastly the WiFi is poor. Used to be ok

In need of renovation, bed uncomfortable, could feel every spring! The window didn't close in one room and there was a torn carpet in other room. Breakfast was good. This hotel is a pretty average budget option.

We stayed here for our stop over from the NEC. The food was lovely in the restaurant however that cannot be said for the room. The room was very very cold with a small electric wall heater. We did get moved to an alternative room,that was just as cold and ended up with an oil heater as extra just to heat a small family room. In the new room the shower trim had fallen off and was lying on the floor. Whilst we enjoyed the bar/restaurant we would not be returning to stay at this hotel again.

Hotel staff need to smile now and again, all the staff looked like they really didn’t want to be there. A good morning and a smile will go a long way. The Hotel looks very tired, paint coming off the walls and generally run down. The stair wells going upstairs stunk of cigarette smoke and the upstairs hall smelt of weed. The location is good and stunning views from the rear of the Hotel.

Staff friendly and helpful. Very good value for the facilities. A little tired in places but effort has been made to present as well as possible and clean. Restaurant had a good atmosphere and staff provided good friendly service. Sat and relaxed in front of fire after our meal and it was a pleasant and enjoyable experience. Overall - excellent value. Receptionist most helpful and friendly too.

Looking very tired, room 326 had a tiny electric radiator and Tuesday on arrival was freezing cold and radiator couldnt warm room up.
Complained and a portable electrical radiator was provided which helped.

Very dated with poor maintenance - damp walls in corridor and curtains hanging off at both ends in room - bed comfy but definitely can see why this was cheap compared to others in the area

Great place to stay - clean, comfortable & with a pub too !!
Food I thought was expensive, so just had a few beers.
Will stay again if I need to stay in the area again👍

Ok hotel for a night or two. However, the staff is not very service minded, and not very helpful.
I stay there only for the price you pay for it

My friend and I stayed for one night, Saturday the 8th Jan 2024.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. we had a large room.. a few issues.. wall paper was coming off the wall behind the bed, toilet seat was loose, the heaters were old. worked after a while the room became warm. the hall way was cold and plaster coming off . It needs a bit of TLC. but would stay again..

It was ok, but for the week our team was there, they had no hot water in the showers.
This was reported and still no hot water.
Our company Van had been broken into, and apparently it’s a hot spot for vans. Another set of vans broken into a couple of weeks ago.

Nice place, we stayed overnight before flying from Birmingham airport. Quiet location. Comfy bed and the room has a desk which is good if you need to do work. All in all, no complaints.

Good cheap, no frills digs. Good nights sleep and good value for money, but not the best in quality.

The place was freezing cold , and the further down the corridor your room the colder it got.

Nice staff , couple issues with room . Zero degrees outside , walking into the room couldn’t have been much warmer . Old style electric radiator that was slow to warm the room and an old fashioned loudly ticking manual timer fitted to it . So essentially the choice became sleep or put up with the cold . Groundfloor rooms suffer with paper thin walls and more importantly , ceilings . Rooms could also do with curtains , feels quite and bleak cold in terms of decor .
Positives , comfy bed , good shower , decent wifi , good size TV . Food was good in the pub too .

But of a dump, very uncomfortable bed, unclean bathroom with the glass shower door hanging by a thread. Nobody on reception to help with issues. Breakfast in the morning is very limited if you don’t eat meat but you still get charged £12.95 even though half of the menu isn’t available to you. Very poor Hotel with clueless staff that wonder around with no direction at all. The only decent member of staff was the woman behind the bar in the evening. I would t go there again if they paid me.

Front door had a batten starting to depart.
Insude thevroom was good, ever so slight mould roundvthe shower tray, byt the wrong shower hose was fitted so the shower head keft falling out the holder , silly really room 125

Lovely location, fantastic breakfast, comfy bed. Nice shower. Only little things were that the room was quite dark, needs another light and no plug sockets near beds for charging. Oh and we needed a little drink and snack after a concert (back after midnight) and the vending machine was almost empty so couldn't. All staff were lovely and helpful and we would stay again.

Very noisy so if you are looking for a good nights sleep then this place is not recommended!

Staff and restaurant were very good but our room was very noisy, the bed not very comfortable and the towels were unnecessarily changed. Good location for NEC and excellent Indian restaurant in the village.

At check in the member of staff couldn’t have seen less interested if the tried. It felt like I had inconvenienced them by asking to check in to the hotel!

It's bigger than expected. The views are incredible, lovely surroundings, friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms with en-suite, close to the airport, co-op and other amenities within walking distance. The building is older so you can hear the odd creak of the floorboards above. The car park is gated so secure.

Rooms a bit dated but ok. Food very poor. Waited over 40 mins because there was a large party of people then got a supposed fajita chicken salad. Just a load of leaves with a few bits of white chicken for £14. Breakfast wasn't much better.

Fantastic place to stay
4.0
Hotel in a good position but I think they were extremely busy and had some technical and staffing issues. Overall the room was clean enough and the bed comfy and the food was good, but general services left something to be desired particularly the lack of management support for staff who were left to deal with difficult situations on their own.
The hotel is looking a little tired on the decor but this is one of those hotels it would be good to support and keep alive rather than lose it.

Very nice hotel, lovely area, great breakfast. My only critiques are that the bed I had was a bit 'springy', you could feel the springs, and the walls seemed paper thin as you could hear a lot in the rooms around you. But overall, was good

Comfortable Saturday night but restaurant closed for private function so had few miles drive to eat
