Stand out Breakfast
Pros:

The hotel was good but looked a little old fashioned. Part was sealed off for refurbishment so perhaps all the rooms are getting a make-over. The room was fine and I loved the huge bed which was very firm and supportive. The stand out feature was the buffet breakfast, anything you could possibly want and catering for all dietary needs. I've never seen crumpets on a breakfast menu before.

Cons:

After a busy day and drive to the hotel I didn't appreciate a long queue to check-in at 11pm. No problem with the check-in process once at the counter. Everything in the hotel worked and had been maintained or replaced over the years but there was a feeling that the place was not quite at it's best, nevertheless I would be very happy to stay there again.

Room was a let down
Pros:

Location is great. Bar is good. I didn't see the wider facilities like the gym or pool sadly.

Cons:

Air conditioning didn't scratch the temperature. Cracked basin with broken tap. No shower gel on arrival (empty). The bed wasn't comfortable.

Overpriced and overcrowded
Pros:

Air conditioning on a hot night

Cons:

Massive queue to check in. I gave up, left my bags in the cloakroom to attend my dinner meeting in Birmingham, then checked in at 21:30.

Overpriced at £245 for one night. I chose the hotel to match my US visitors but will return to my £85 regular hotel next week.

The car parking system didn’t recognise my licence plate. The barrier then wouldn’t reside and I had to repark and return to reception to study it out.

Terrible
Pros:

Staff

Cons:

Keycard didn’t work as the batteries on the door had run out. It was late at night and meant I had to wait in hallway to be fixed. Room was old and rundown and for £200 a night was dismal. Aircon in restaurant barely working.
