Very good

The property is as expected for its age. Room was small but comfortable. The shower was powerful and hot but needed some TLC. Shower tray and tiles needed a good clean or refurb. My husband cleared a blockage as the shower tray filled up completely with water.
The biggest complaint we had was the food. We ate there on the first night and my steak was burnt and very overdone on one side ( ordered medium rare) Also unable to cut until turned over. My husband's burger was also overcooked. Ww mentioned this to staff and she said that she would tell the chef the next day. We could not have asked for any replacement meal as the food was not served after 8pm and the chef was no longer there.
The first mornings breakfast was fine but on our second morning, we both ordered omelettes. These were extremely well cooked with black burnt and crispy edges. They were inedible! We told the waitress and the chef. He said when asked that they are always cooked like that. He looked completely shocked and unconcerned. We ended up with cereal and toast!
Do not recommend the food at all.
Very friendly welcome at reception. No fuss check-in. Very characterful building. Great choice of food and drink. Excellent location. Looking forward to going back.
Well 2nd time of going to the vine, Mitchell greeted us, what a happy guy, nothing is too much trouble for him, breakfast is freshly cooked, the other staff were great, rooms, comfortable and clean
Our room was ideal in the building at the rear with bus stop just round the corner. The main Hotel building still had wooden beams so very characteristic and the staff were very friendly.
Very welcoming manager and staff, fantastic dinner options that were extremely good value for money and a very handy location to get to the Staffordshire Showground.
The only thing that was a bit odd was that, while our room was freshened up every day, the sink didn't get cleaned at all. My husband is a bit of a messy shaver and I am always very happy not to have to deal with the aftermath when staying in a hotel, so I was very surprised to find that part of the bathroom still untouched both days.
Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay and will be back!

The location was good, free parking but unfortunately, it was full on the day, so had to park at a near by long stay. The staff were nice and friendly as always. The room needed a little bit of an update and maintenance for the price (£100 a night)
We had a lovely time at the vine although it was a short stay we were warmly welcomed and comfortable

Perfect location if visiting the Gatehouse Theatre
Perfect location as we were going to the Gateshouse Theatre, which was just a few minutes walk. We did eat there and the food was nice. The room was ideal for the evening, the only negative was we couldn't turn the radiator off or down. Staff throughout were very helpful and friendly. We would stay there again if we were in the area.

Had a great stay at Vine in Stafford, staff were lovely, food was great, room was great, price was great BUT when we were trying to go to sleep someone in the room above came to back and thudded around like an elephant for about an hour. Every time I nearly fell asleep there would be more REALLY loud banging around. Then, in the morning (a Sunday) at about 8am the banging, thudding, talking, was going on for over an hour again.
I was trying to sleep to make up for the disturbed night in the morning but much to my dismay the racket kept waking me up again just as I drifted off. I left Vine feeling EXHAUSTED because of the relentless thudding.
It was so loud it almost sounded like they were purposely trying to thud as loud as possible.
