Overall good night stop over

Good stay overall. Cooked breakfast was good. Marmalade dispenser was empty and breakfast had just started. Attention to detail, checking prior to opening for breakfast would have been good. Bed was comfortable enough for a reasonable good sleep.

The heater in our room was broken, it was stuck on full & could not be turned down, resulting in a temperature that was unbearable. 5am only option given was to change rooms. At 6.20am a fire alarm went off. Zero hours sleep was had.

You have small areas around Hotel to walk dog. Was on top floor with puppy and needed quick exit if he needed to go to the toilet during night so was not good. Was on same level as M6 so was noisy for me. The person who booked me in seemed offish and hurried me. Food in pub next to Hotel, okay, small portion but dogs are allowed.

Rooms a little dated but staff were excellent, parking very close and ample, location just off the M6 fantastic. Room was quiet and dark with lights off, heating sufficient to stave off the -7 degrees weather we had. Showers powerful and warm.
