Anthony, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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 :)

Great little hotel.
Paul, 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,

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent hotel with fantastic facilities
ANDREW, 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.

2/10 Poor

Avoid this hotel.

Dreadful, I won’t be staying there again. The welcome was terrible (made to wait whilst paperwork, not related to my stay, was completed, and then a very surly “Surname” and the key handed over without any grace at all), the bedside table was broken and clearly in danger of collapsing, no sockets anywhere near the bed (I have a sleep apnea machine, I had to sleep on the other side of the bed to enable it to reach at a real stretch) and then, despite making it very clear I was dairy intolerant (which they’d acknowledged) I was served dinner with a creamy sauce. When I queried that, and they confirmed it was full of dairy, they changed my plate and supplied a fresh potato pancake but did not offer fresh veg and did not apologise.

Faulty towers

Deluxe rooms don't have a view of the picturesque river. You now have to pay for parking. The shower thermostats in almost all the rooms I've stayed in have all been poor.

£5 to park your car in the hotel car park ?????

Hotel is good for the price but spoilt by lack of care- curtain where hanging off and light outside in the hall was off so needed to use torch on my phone to find the key whole. Also the fact that you have to pay £5 to park your car is not hi-lighted enough. Bit of a con really as the hotel is beside the motorway and no other place you can park ????
Susan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Clean place for a stopover

It was an ok stay. The family room was massive which the kids loved, everything was just a bit tired and dated but clean which is the main thing. Breakfast was poor. Continental option was limited to say the least and the cooked to order option left something to be desired. Staff were pleasant enough and it was fine for a motorway stop but save your money on breakfast!
