It's an older property but it checks out. Had some issues with the toilet and in order for the power to stay on in the room you have to leave key card inserted in slot near door, but otherwise a generally pleasant stay. Great restaurant/bar, good food, great staff.

Plates. Came. Eggs. Which went cold as took at least 15 mins for 4 slices of bacon between myself and partner. Breakfast area should always. Have the food regardless of the time. I kept asking the waitress how long for the bacon. Not good at all

The staff were friendly but away from the desk a lot of the time. The room was extremely cold at night and we couldn’t turn up the heating as it was controlled by staff (who we couldn’t find). No under floor heating despite it being stated. Comfy bed and clean room though with easy parking outside.

Honest review on one night stay
Just returned from 1 night stay. From the outside, and when being in reception it looks lovely... but then once in the room they are super outdated and in quite a poor state. The whole bedroom, bathroom ect was just really poor quality and obviously in desperate need of a revamp. Beds were like rocks, linen had marks. Breakfast was okay. Not much to say on that. Staff - reception lady was pleasant, but on checking in we waited for a man to appear for about 20 mins with 2 tired children who had been walking all day , without so much as a "sorry for your wait" We was then told by the man that we had to pay £10 for parking - was not aware of this and no idea what justifies this as the carpark was near empty. Wouldnt stay again.

A nice hotel - give it a go.
The staff were brilliant - very friendly and welcoming. The food in the evening was really good and excellent value for money. The bar was well presented with quality products. The room was decent and comfortable. The only let down was breakfast. I am sad to say in this review, in my experience, the breakfast was NOT (when I had it) value for money. The coffee machine sounded like it was on its last legs, coffee was weak, poor and undrinkable - I had to use the sachet of dried coffee to make a cup. There was no fruit juice - I was told 'we don't have orange juice', there was a bar with 200 bottles of it 20 feet away. The toaster didn't work well. Eggs appeared to have been cooked 30 minutes before and had gone hard and discoloured. The sausages were OK but, only OK. The rest of the buffet looked a bit cheap and thrown together. I would 100% still stay at this hotel again, because the previous night and overnight experience exceeded my expectations; and it was above par and value for money. However, I wouldn't have the breakfast as this was significantly subpar in my experience this week, which was a shame as everything else had been so good. I think the owners need to invest in a better breakfast offer or, don't offer it. Fruit juice from a wholesaler is less than £1 per carton for 10 or 12 servings, cook the eggs to order (you will not be throwing away inedible uneaten rubber), lease a new coffee machine. Small things make a big difference for your guests.

Quaint old hotel but issues with heating.
The reception staff were helpful. My room was cold-the heating hardly came on. The lady in reception tried her best to sort it but the room was still cold. I then spoke to a maintenance guy who explained the issue and the room was warmer the following evening. Although it went off quite early and was cold again in the morning. No one explained that i needed to put a notice out if i wanted to have the room cleaned and restocked. Once i knew i did it the following day but the tea bags were still not replenished.

This hotel is located about a 20 mins walk to Broad Street and the Utilita Arena so ideal if going to an event there. Hotel is clean, the staff are very welcoming and helpful. Room was clean & comfortable. Breakfast was lovely, with plenty of choice - cooked breakfast, cereals, fruit, yoghurt, pastries & toast plus some other options available on the menu. The buffet was regularly replenished. Would consider staying again if we book tickets for an event in the future.

Tired, in need of renovation. No heating
Terrible place. Tired and in need of renovation. The room was cold and there was a sign on the wall stating that you had to ring reception to turn on/the heating. I did this and was told they don't switch on the heating until October! We checked out immediately - waste of money and best avoided.

We loved that it was right near a Morrisons to get bits and bobs. All the staff were friendly and accommodating. It was about a 20-30 minute walk to New Street, with the weather we opted for Uber (both eats and rides) and the location was easy enough for drivers to locate. One staff member gave us one of our two nights for free as the tv wasn’t working in the room and we felt that was a really nice gesture that not many hotels would do. The door to our room was quite dodgy, you really had to slam it shut for it to actually shut and it would make a rather loud noise, we feared waking up the other hotel guests. The hotel room itself was pretty standard, with a lovely big window that let in plenty of light and had a nice view of the main hotel area, only real downside would be it gathered quite a bit of condensation, that could be because we didn’t have the heating on but it went away when we opened the window slightly.

1 night stay
We recently stayed 1 night 2 adults & 1 5yo. On site parking, the hotel is full of character but the decor does look tired. The room we stayed in was a double and a sofabed, ensuite bathroom, lots of storage, again tired looking but was clean throughout. Breakfast was a buffet affair consisting of hot foods and a selection of cereals, fruits, yoghurt, pastries and breads which my 5yo loved. We chose this hotel mainly for its on site parking as well as a base for legoland and the sealife centre, yes it was a walk but thats our thing. Would we stay here again? yes 😊
