    Good location but each year it seems standards slip

    As stated the table reservation was not noted diwn for dinner. Room 101 on lower floor was a good room for disabled use….. however it backs onto the hallway wall that all people use at all times to access the building. I mean that wall vibrates loudly every time a person lets the internal door slam shut. As in all evening but on our stay at 2am and 4am as well. We were woken with loud bang of door and vibrating wall. Perhaps next time will try requesting room opposite the door in!!! Sadly the quality of breakfast had also gone down hill. We stay here a couple of times a year so know in the past the cooked breakfast has been pretty good. Not just quality was poor but we paid also for an omelette listed in the cooked breakfast options (same price as the cooked breakfast option) but was charged an extra 75p for some beans and a rasher of bacon!!!! So won’t be doing breakfast there again sadly.

    Good location close to M6. Disabled room very well fitted out. Carvery in evening was a nice change from the usual fried food at other pit stops. Would have been nice if our table had been reserved as we requested on arrival….. the place was fairly full but we eventually got a table ok.

    Nothing to dislike, but would like to suggest improvements to booking breakfast during online check-in; options available are limited compared to what is actually offered and the system is at fault as no opportunity to amend choices.

    Convenient for our wknd plans.

    Bathroom is a bit small considering it’s for a family but still acceptable.

    Good location close to everything we needed, good pub attached to the property. Room is ok size wise, managed to fit in a double and 2 singles to the family room which is clean and pretty well equipped. Cleaning staff were brilliant; 1 of the kids spilt something on the floor and they were excellent in dealing with this for us.

    My choice of dinner was a bit poor. Felt like the pie had been cooked or heated up in the microwave. The pastry was so hard that I couldn't cut it

    Location was great for me, really easy to get to work the next day. Bedroom was clean. Bed was not quite as comfy as the well know purple branded hotel, it did the job. Staff were all great, from check-in to being served in the restaurant
