Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, but a bit outdated. The service, while mostly polite and helpful, had some issues with payment and breakfast. The location was convenient but lacked some inviting aspects. Dining options were limited and chaotic, with a disappointing breakfast experience.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were not as clean as I expected with little bits of popcorn on the floor initially, but I have to say I slept really well as the beds were comfy. However, the room was not cleaned on my return for the second night, which was disappointing - the bed was unmade, there were no clean towels, the waste bin was full, and no soap or tea/coffee were replenished.
The hotel is in a convenient location for travelers, perfect for a quick stopover or further travel. The rooms are clean and comfortable, despite a few minor cleanliness issues and overly hot water in the shower. The service is friendly and helpful, although there was a negative experience with one staff member. The dining experience offers good value for money, especially with the made-to-order hot breakfast. Overall, a decent option for a short stay with some room for improvement in cleanliness and service.
The hotel offers adequately furnished rooms that may need updating but provide a good standard of comfort. The service was friendly and accommodating. The location is convenient for various attractions, although noise from the nearby bypass could be bothersome. The dining experience, while basic, offered decent quality meals. Overall, a satisfactory stay with some room for improvement.
I was a bit disappointed with the cleanliness of the rooms and had to wait outside in the cold before being let in, which wasn't ideal. The size of the room was good, but it looked a bit tired in places and had a lingering burning plastic smell.
The hotel is in a great location for visiting Twycross Zoo and Conkers in the National Forest, just 10 minutes away. The rooms are quiet and convenient, though they would benefit from some refurbishment. The service provided, especially by Gary Setterfield, was exceptional. The dining experience had good features but with room for improvement. Overall, a well-managed hotel offering a warm and comfortable stay.
