A fantastic stay and thanks to all staff for all the hard work they put in to ensure we all had a day to remember.
Pros:

The venue for our son’s 18th birthday meal was excellent.

Cons:

Only the one slight issue was that the air con units were not working in a number of our rooms, but fans were supplied to assist.

Probably wouldn’t stay again to be honest, I used to stay here years ago for the NEC shows and it was lovely. Not anymor
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Rooms were tired and a standard room was v small, hot - no air con and a noisy fan. Very average bathroom. Staff on reception were good but needed more people. Bar staff were ok, but didn’t have the right glasses, and didn’t seem very with it! a latte coffee didn’t even come with a biscuit!

The choice on offer was good but it would have me nice to have a selection of fresh fruit instead of just melon.

Well positioned comfortable hotel just minutes from the town & the RSC theatres, Good Breakfast
Pros:

Good choice of hot and cold buffet for breakfast regularly replenished throughout the breakfast sitting times. Our room was in the wings of the hotel at the back of the complex, where it was quiet - a good size room with king size bed made from two singles. The hotel has some interesting architecture inside and is a bit of a labyrinth, however, once negotiated it works very well.

Cons:

Didn't like the 'regimented' timing for breakfast - this I think may have something to do with groups staying there. The hotel is situated on a busy junction/thoroughfare which crosses the Avon. As a result there is always a lot of traffic passing by the hotel - this meant it could be tricky crossing the roads to walk into Stratford and difficult getting out if driving.

Very uncomfortable;e. I was travelling alone so had to pay for a double room for single occupancy. No help with the lugg
Pros:

Looks nice outside. Wide range of facilities that I didn’t have time to use

Cons:

No fridge in the room. No air conditioning in the room. My room was hotter than the corridor and even sleeping with a wet towel over me could not bring my core temperature down. I left at 4am, because I couldn’t sleep and it was cooler in the corridor than the room. The caution very hot notice on the hot water tap needed to be on the cold tap too since I scaled my hand when I first turned it on.
