Drayton Manor Hotel

Very clean & good location

Really good value for money and the park wasn't too busy so able to go on all the rides we wanted too.

Food in the hotel was really good and good value
Perfect place for the little ones

Fanstastic staff

Good location for where we wanted to be.

Dinner menu was small, but actually very tasty. Chicken ceaser salad was well sauced, and good hot grilled chicken.
Room was okay, a bit dated, but not too bad. Reception staff very friendly and welcoming. Decent sized carpark.

We stayed at the hotel over the weekend for a wedding, and overall it was a really pleasant experience.

The hotel itself was clean, tidy and well presented throughout, and every member of staff we came across was genuinely friendly and helpful. Our room (333) was modern and well equipped, with fast Wi-Fi that was easy to connect to, a large TV with plenty of channels, and a really handy wall plate with HDMI and USB connections. There were also plenty of plug sockets around the room, which is always appreciated.

The bathroom was clean and modern, and the shower was powerful and got very hot, although the temperature control was quite sensitive, so it could be a bit fiddly to get just right. The air conditioning worked well, and the room was nice and quiet overall. There was also a window you could open, although it was a little awkward to close again.

The only real downside in the room was the bed. It was quite hard and a bit too bouncy for our liking, and it felt like it dipped slightly in the middle, so we kept rolling towards each other during the night.

We had dinner in the brasserie on the Friday evening. I had the pizza and my wife had the pulled pork burger. The food was decent and reasonably priced, although it came out a bit lukewarm rather than properly hot. That said, the staff were great and service was smooth 👍

Breakfast was actually a highlight. It’s usually where hotels fall short, but this one was surprisingly good. The sausages and bacon were really tasty, there was a good range of options, and everything felt good quality. It did get a bit busy around the juice machine, but nothing too major. The only letdown was the coffee machine, which produced pretty awful coffee, but that seems to be standard for most hotels ☕

One thing worth mentioning is that parking was very kindly validated for us because we were attending a wedding, which was a nice touch and saved us the usual charge.

Overall, despite a few minor issues, we had a very enjoyable stay. I’d happily recommend the hotel, particularly if you’re attending a wedding there or visiting the nearby theme park.

Car parking

Clean hotel with decent rooms and friendly staff. Check in process was quick and the staff explained processes easily. No issue finding a parking spot, and there was electric car charging available.

Good buffet breakfast - no complaints there at all. Filled up well for a day at the park. To fill time before park opens there’s a mini golf course and playground - free for guests to use.

Rooms come equipped with hair dryer, a fridge, kettle and tea/coffee. No USB plug sockets so you need to bring an adapter or borrow a charging park in the theme park from guest services

Was pleased with the water pressure in the bathroom and the hotel has good water temperature and proper sized baths (v helpful for the children after a day racing round the park).

Happy with the stay.

Location was great as we were at a dance como in the resort.

Very clean. Friendly staff
