Conveniently sited hotel with very helpful staff

The staff on reception/bar & food ordering could not have been more helpful. They logged my car in and took the payment to save me doing it. And especially appreciated after a long drive: I was able to choose a couple of things from the menu and a much earned drink and take to my room. And my room was extremely nice - bed and bedding very comfortable, the right size, bathroom (and shower!) very good and I was able to work at the mini desk the following morning. A huge tick from me.

Very tight room and poor breakfast

Staff friendly enough, room was very tight for a family of four and didn't make for the most comfortable stay, the cooked breakfast in the morning was one of the worst we've had, from it being cold to certain items being rock solid.

Great Hotel, Unfortunate about Parking

Hotel was clean and comfortable. Staff really friendly and helpful. My only negative experience relates to parking. Limited space as hotel was full and charging people to park during their stay.

Feels a little tired

Conveniently located, being close to the M5 and a quick drive into the city centre. Hotel is fine for a one night stay but lacks any facilities beyond the basic and feels a little tired. The double beds are small and not particularly comfortable and one pillow per person is insufficient, so had to ask for additional pillows. On the plus side, the staff were friendly and the check-in and check-out process were efficient.
