Noisy this time

Unfortunately I was on the 3rd floor overlooking the car park which backs onto a dual carriageway and it was noisy, ambient background of almost 40db All it needs is secondary glazing fitted to all road facing g rooms for much quieter results and happies customers

Good for an overnight stay when travelling up nort

We stayed here for an overnight stopover as we had visited attractions in the Birmingham area whilst en-route from the south coast of England to Lancashire and due to its location, close to the M6. My wife is in a wheelchair and only has one leg so we booked an accessible room. However, it could only be described as partially adapted as there was no walk-in shower only a bath with shower over, which she could not use. In the bathroom, there was a lot of grout missing from the floor tiles, which needs sorting out. Overall, the room was very large with plenty of space for manoeuvring the wheelchair and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was OK, not the best quality, but it was included in the room price so all in all very good value.

Friendly staff

Hadn't realised that they don't have restaurant open on Sunday night. Open Monday to Saturday. Luckily we'd had a Sunday lunch. Bar was pretty busy so I'm surprised they didn't sell snacks, sandwiches, cakes etc.

The overall condition of the hotel needs to be updated. It is tired and needs new carpeting and decorating throughout. The beds are very comfortable. The breakfast was very good and had something for everyone on offer. The staff were brilliant and extremely helpful.

Very decent budget hotel.

Best was not so comfy but everything else was good. Also the TV is outdated. Not even a smart tv which was annoying.

My expectations were high, I was disappointed. Reception staff were varied in relatability. All helpful but there’s a clear hierarchy, amongst members. I had an issue with a shower light not working, three times I enquired. To be told needs a new part and I could change rooms. The first night not offered that as there was no space. I wasn’t recognised as an IHG MEMBER by initial team member. So I missed out on their goody bag offering. My request for room on lower level and close to lift not honoured although I was told it was. Room was dowdy, especially in the bathroom. Excellent mobility shower. Large and a seat. Clean towels daily. (4 night stay) FREE PARKING, is the bonus here. INCLUSIVE BREAKFAST, but make sure you take a bag to pack. Food can go quickly. No change up each day but lots offered. Replenishing is laboured.

The staff were helpful but the room was not clean. The underside of the rails and sink had stuff on them. They also didn't offer any suggestion or tempary lighting when the area had a power cut. I am handicapped and was on the first floor. During checkout the elevator did not work. I had to use the stairs. No help was offered.

Weekend stay

Plenty of parking at the hotel that was free. Breakfast was plentiful and room was large. Beds were comfortable. Only thing - our room was next to the main road which was noisy during the night with cars racing up and down.
