Breakfast is excellent with a large choice, and the modern, clean double bedrooms have all facilities, including an ironing board, iron, and safe. While the hotel is ideally located between Manchester and Birmingham, some guests have noted that the accommodation in certain areas can feel more like a Travelodge.

Fantastic Stay!

I really appreciated the nice staff. They were amazing, and always pleasant. Bar staff was also very polite. I enjoyed the Penhaligons bathroom toiletries! The shower's water pressure was great!
There was no air conditioning in my room. Even though it was advertised as a beautiful suite, the room got very hot. The provided fan did not help much
