Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Positives: very convenient locale, outside urban areas therefore easy to drive to. Passcode for keypad needed to exit ones car, which is provided by reception to residents. Ample free parking on site. EV car charging point available, which was quite handy. Hotel well within the grounds of the estate, allowing for a very quiet environment. Reception quick and hassle-free. Friendly reception staff. Access to rooms via key card. Room well lit, with natural views. Well heated and comfortable room. Complimentary Belgian chocolate on arrival. Coffee making amenities replenished every day. Room clean and turned over daily on time. Shower strength moderate. Iron with ironing table in the room. Restaurant food of good variety and fairly fresh. Same as breakfast. Did not use swimming pool or spa amenities. Negatives: the lobby looks bare and Spartan. Altogether a tad too functional. Toilet flush strength in the room was really weak, requiring multiple flushing attempts. While I did not use the TV in the room, I checked it. Early 2000s technology and of low image resolution, in dire need of an upgrade.

The property felt dated, with noise carrying throughout, footsteps in the corridors and slamming doors were clearly audible and we couldn’t sleep. The carpets were torn and the wallpaper was peeling in places. There was also a lack of atmosphere, with dining options that were limited and overpriced. Not as advertised!

The breakfast menu was fresh and replenished throughout. The staff from reception to lifeguard go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable! The grounds and building itself is lovely though a little dated which has no impact on your actual stay. We used the pool and the temperature was a tad cool, but jacuzzi and sauna room was fantastic. Having said this the shower temperature in the leisure was piping hot and this area I believe needed some maintenance with painting etc. Overall a brilliant stay and I would highly recommend, you won’t regret it.

Our family stayed for 4 nights and we had a wonderful time. The hotel was clean and well equipped. The pool area & leisure facilities were great - clean and well presented. We included breakfast in our rate and it was superb- plenty of choice; healthy and less healthy, with my husband’s coeliac needs well met. The staff in the hotel were very helpful and were always able to help with any question. We would certainly stay again!

The hotel is set on stunning grounds, it was so nice to drive in and observe the wildlife. The staff were absolutely wonderful, warm; welcoming and informative. We were welcomed by Oben and Kyle who were a great front of house team. The hotel was our base for the night when we were watching a show at the BP Pulse. The hotel is really well located to the NEC, with easy links to other lovely local amenities. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

The room had all of the amenities that you'd expect but there was a general feeling of shabbyness. Things needed renewing (grout in the bathroom for example) and had been neglected. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were all very thin and soft. I could have done with a firmer option. Parking was easy and close by. Staff were friendly but the reception area smelled so strongly of air freshener that I could practically taste it.
