Convenient with a good breakfast
Pros:

Good location for motorways and Cannock Forest

Cons:

Lack of air conditioning was surprising however the hotel had put a large fan in the room so not too bad.
Disappointed to have torn sheets on the bed. Surprising for a Holiday Inn

It’s. Pleasant and comfortable place to stay with a good breakfast in the morning.
Pros:

Easy to reach off the motorway, plenty of parking spaces. Handy for a meal or drink in the restaurant or a quick fast food at McDonald’s across the way.

Cons:

No where to take a walk in the evening or morning without heading out onto main road, but that’s just our preference
