What a lovely surprise this place was. It’s a little dated but was clean and very comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. We have paid a lot more for a lot less. Room and en-suite were great with a lovely view of the river.

What a great hotel …. Loved our short stay

The personnel were absolutely lovely and helpful. Anne was wonderful and she had organised our meal after the kitchen had closed for a function. Everyone was so cheerful including the morning breakfast staff who were absolutely run off their feet as the hotel was quite full. We loved the whole Fawlty Towers set up :)

ANDREW, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice comfy hotel just a little tired in places.

Nice hotel friendly staff Dated and tired in places, lacks some TLC Big of a fusty smell in the corridor leading to bedrooms, I have visited before 6 months ago and it’s the same stench needs looking into. Restaurant food mediocre nothing exciting but edible. We stayed in hotel for good as the M6 traffic had gridlocked us in. But wouldn’t eat in restaurant again. We did like the hotel & for the money paid was fair and would use again,
Patricia, 2-night trip

Good location

The hotel is in a good location. The bed was comfy and bathroom clean. Fairly standard accommodation but staff were friendly
Diane, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel was fine for a one night stay, although the rooms were very hot and we were unable to turn the heating off
Matt, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient for where we were going
RODNEY, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Feels poor to have a parking charge added on arrival after paying up front on Hotel’s dot Com app. An added expense and I still think the app is just not clear enough. Not a great Customer experience and obviously you then view the hotel with different eyes. It’s tired as a facility but room was spacious but they were not ready for a 7am breakfast today so it was all a bit of a rush. Not a wonderful breakfast buffet but adequate. In total need of decorating. Good location by the Motorway.
