The double bed was really comfy. There was only one bedside table therefore I had to use the desk chair at my side of the bed to put my things on. There was no welcome brochure with information about the hotel, restaurants, swimming pool etc.

It's a great place to stay, and nice and affordable. The pool area is a little tired and could do with a renovation to match some of the other areas of the hotel. The room was fine for us, if a little tired. The shower in the bathroom isn't great, but serviceable. Hopefully the can fit A/C at some point as I wouldn't want to stay in the room during the summer, although having a plug-in fan was appreciated, as well as having an iron and ironing board in the room.

Pleasant place to stay just 15 minutes from the NEC. We stayed in a deluxe room, no air con, windows only opened a small amount. The room was a little run down and the lamp shade in ours was grubby, small bit of mould in the bathroom. Shower was fixed to wall and not very powerful. The restaurant food and service was very good. Breakfast was included and there was a very good selection. Included was use of the pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room who provide towels.

Good location to go to NEC, about 10min drive. Nice pool but not big, asked to book slot to avoid being too busy. Large car park. Good size room, ok shower, large comfy bed. Room quite warm, no a/c but fan in room, windows only open small amount for safety. Good breakfast. Had set menu buffet meal in restaurant which was ok but not fancy.

No as good as when this was owned by Marriott but clean enough and most of the breakfast was OK. Fried eggs rock hard, croissants and pastries were tiny, hard and tasted mass produced and probably 'shop bought' for Poundland. Jam was cheap and cheerful. Both toasters were useless. Room clean but misty windows due to double glazing having failed. Staff, as alwats were smashing.

A wonderful venue with excellent staff, who go out of their way to accommodate you. Gave 4 stars as the rooms furniture could do with some updating and/or deep cleaning. eg.the chair in my room had a number of stains on it, as did the carpet. It had been hoovered but stains are a put off.
