Wouldnt stay again
Pros:

Good location in Solihull, central but quieter than staying closer to touchwood. Room was clean and staff were friendly.

Cons:

An intruder entered our room at 11:30pm on Saturday night. The way the family room was laid out meant the adult bed was not in sight of the door, and the kids were right in front of the door. We didn’t see who it was and complained. We were assured it couldn’t have been another guest but it still didn’t fill us with confidence that it was just a mistake. We were spooked by this especially as the kids were close to the door and didn’t rest much afterwards. We complained at the time it happened and on check out, we were told an investigation would occur and we’d get a call from a manager the following day. No call which solidifies how seriously they took this. My tip would be to always put the catch on the door when you are in the room, if going out then make sure no valuables are left in the room.

Overall it was a good stay as the location and also the service was nice.
Pros:

The hotel is in a fantastic location, just a three-minute walk from a lovely shopping centre with a great variety of shops, restaurants, and everything you might need during your stay. The hotel itself is well maintained, with modern décor and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it a pleasant place to stay.

Cons:

The hallways leading to the rooms were quite narrow, which made it difficult to navigate with a pushchair. There were also a few small steps leading into the room, which was inconvenient for a family with young children. Installing a ramp instead of steps would make access much easier for guests using pushchairs or those with mobility needs.

The room also did not have a fridge, which was inconvenient as we needed somewhere to keep our child’s milk cold.

Overall, the hotel was well maintained, but I did notice that the floor in the rear bar area could have been cleaner. As my young son was walking around, I paid close attention to the floor and noticed small pieces of glass and food debris that had not been swept up. Keeping this area cleaner would make it much safer, particularly for families with young children.

Would recommend for comfort and convenience.
Pros:

Very attractive building, smart reception and entrance. Parking right outside. The room was a home from home, very cosy and relaxing.

Cons:

They charge £10 extra for parking, why not just put that into the room rate or tell you in advance?!
The reception representative was very dismissive and unhelpful, almost like she didn’t enjoy her job. No warm welcome after a very long drive and reluctant to answer questions or converse.
My room 300+ was such a long way from reception and there was no offer of help with my luggage. It was so far and everything just looks like a mirror image, I got lost to the room and back.
The food was awful, great service and ordered to the room which was a bonus but the pizza bread was just all greasy and cardboard like, the chips full of salt and fat. The full English breakfast inedible, just not pleasant at all so left very hungry.

Convenient for visiting Solihull. Reasonable value but not a special occasion treat.
Pros:

Comfortable room with great bathroom. Breakfast was a cut above the usual chain hotel experience. Check in a little slow.

Cons:

The exterior of the building was a little dated. The swimming pool is a bonus but could do with a cosmetic uplift.

Stayed Last Year and the Same Issues This Time
Pros:

Nothing changed since my last visit. No mini bar in the room, and they say that it's because the are a sustainable brand. Most other VOCO hotels have mini bars. The super king was two twins pushed together which is fine however the topper should be much better quality so I cannot feel the join during the night. Breakfast was average, hard croissants which were not tempting.

Let down by IGH and booking.com for not giving advance notice that they don't work together
Pros:

It was busy, but most of the times everything went well.

Cons:

I was told my points and my stays on IGH Hotels membership by reception wouldn't count or be addded as I booked through booking.com which has been happening and I thought that wasn't fair and i wasn't told before hand and I would of thought this wouldn't be an issue as the saving tp guest and I feel this isn't fair for member of booking.com and Igh to be punish the person booking and also not to advertise it anywhere before booking stay on anywhere on the site. Please address this as it loses the good you do. I was even told when ring direct that it would be cheaper for me to book it by booking.com or by direct but I wasn't told I wouldn't be receiving my stay or points to my membership by doing so.😥
