Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the staff was friendly and professional. The location was ideal for my needs, and the dining options were excellent. However, the room decor felt a bit outdated compared to the modern reception area. Overall, great value for money.
The hotel was in a convenient location near Birmingham and the NEC, with ample parking onsite. The rooms, though spacious with twin beds and a good en suite, did not live up to the Superior Room standard and were a long walk from reception and breakfast. Despite the friendly service, the management was unresponsive to complaints about room issues, making it feel unprofessional. The dining experience was enjoyable with buffet-style options starting late on weekends. The location offers access to fields for dog walks, but the lack of towels and a damp smell in the rooms were definite drawbacks.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with comfy beds, but some essential amenities were lacking, making the high price questionable. The service was a mix of unprofessional behavior and caring gestures, while the location and dining options had their ups and downs.
