Great hotel with a lovely coffee. Comfortable rooms and a pleasant stary overall.
Pros:

I liked both the hotel reception area and the room. The accommodation was comfortable, well-equipped, and perfectly suitable for our two-night stay. The bed was comfortable, and the room was clean and well maintained.

I also appreciated being able to grab a Starbucks coffee to go after check-out, which was a very nice touch and added to the overall positive experience.

Cons:

The only small issue I experienced was on the morning of my check-out. At around 9:00 am, I received a loud knock on the door from a housekeeping operative. When I opened the door, they appeared to be checking whether the room was vacant.

As someone who works in the same industry, I completely understand that housekeeping teams aim to clean rooms as early as possible. However, with check-out not being until 12:00 pm, it would have been nice not to have my sleep disturbed quite so early.

Após a hospedagem a acomodação simplesmente não responde mais as mensagens.
Pros:

Pagamos o estacionamento na chegada mas mesmo assim recebemos uma multa. Tentei entrar em contato com a acomodação e eles simplesmente não me retornaram.

Cons:

Mesmo após três tentativas de contato a equipe não me responde em relação a cobrança do estacionamento e a multa recebida da licadora de veículos.

Terrible hotel avoid at all costs - in need of a massive refurbishment and staff training
Pros:

The beer at the bar was cold

Cons:

On the hottest day of the year I couldn't open my window because of a wasp net directly outside and the air con did not work, when I asked at reception for a different room I was told there was nothing they could do as they were fully booked as compensation they offered me 1 free drink at the bar! After a lengthy discussion which included me asking for a refund so I could find a different hotel they suddenly found a spare room....A very small tired room with broken air con....which I had little choice to accept.
In the morning there was no hot water :( so it was a cold shower, on check out I informed reception who's response was "yes I know, we have called someone out" not even an apology! I just left and will never return! AVOID THIS RUN DOWN HOTEL AT ALL COSTS.

Good enough for a night
Pros:

The hotel was well presented, the reception staff were friendly.

Cons:

My children and myself were using the pool, and when I got out, I was drying the swim shorts and the member of staff approached me and said she had a complaint of my children throwing a small inflatable ball close to other people. This wasn't the case as I was in the pool with them. She said that my children might not be able to come back to use the facilities.

Pros:

The staff were lovely, the hotel was clean, and it had everything we needed. Parking was plentiful, easy and free. Location was good, easy to access from the motorway. Great value stay

Cons:

As matter of personal opinion and preference, the mattress was far too soft - in the morning I had awful back ache due to lack of support in the night. The bed frames also felt quite flimsy, they sunk in the middle giving even less support.

Disappointing
Pros:

Staff very welcoming but not enough on duty. Bedroom and bathroom immaculate.

Cons:

Food was absolutely awful. My friend who I meet up with every year either staying at M6 Junction 2 or Crick, we chose Crick this year. Pate came already spread thinly on half cooked toast, chicken caesar salad was in the smallest bowl I have ever seen and the chicken tikka masala was inedible. The waiter took one look at it and offered a full refund straight away. Check out next morning - one receptionist who was serving teas/coffees and stacking cups, had to wait at least 10 minutes to check out. A very disappointing stay, next year we will return to Coventry I am afraid.

A Warm Welcome and Outstanding Service
Pros:

We would like to thank the entire hotel team for making our stay so enjoyable.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. A special thank you to Anna, who was incredibly helpful and did her very best to make sure my children were comfortable and slept well during the night.

We would also like to thank the lady at the reception and the gentleman at the bar. They were both excellent, professional, and very kind.

A big thank you to the chef as well for the delicious food. I would happily return just to enjoy the tasty, spicy pizza again!

We truly appreciated all the help, care, and excellent service we received. The whole team did a fantastic job, and we felt very welcome throughout our stay.

We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend this hotel to others.

Cons:

The only thing I didn't like about this hotel was having to leave!
