Good location for M6 travel
Pros:

Location from M6
Fantastic breakfast, the best in a long time but, see below....

Cons:

Peculiar room numbering system - and confusing layout - more signage.
Very ordinary, uninteresting menu in the bar and for evening meal - and no one serving in the bar for an hour whilst we waited for check in.

Disappointing!
Pros:

It was a lovely hotel.

Cons:

I was very disappointed with the standard of cleanliness in my room. The bath was too dirty to use! It was in need of a good deep clean.
