First the positives:…read more The staff are very helpful, friendly, and fantastic. It is set in lovely location. It is very quiet. The dining room, although small, is a good low lit environment. The room I had was a good size, as was the bathroom. Good selection of toiletries. The food for dinner had a good selection, and breakfast too. The negatives: The water in both the sink and the bath (whilst having a shower) did not go down the plughole very fast Making it difficult to cleans one's teeth, and have a shower. I mentioned this to reception the next morning, and they said they would get maintenance to have a look. On my return in the evening it had not been resolved. Reception then tried to find me another room. There were none available. There would be a room available the next day, which I accepted. She also offered me a free bottle of wine to compensate for the the inconvenience. I declined as I didn't want to be seen as person moaning to get something back. Nevertheless, I think it was a generous offer. (SEE FURTHER RELATING TO THIS BELOW.) The TV is too small for the room. I struggled to get a signal on my mobile telephone, and it cut out several times. I did access the WiFi, and didn't have too many problems, I had to log back on a couple of times. No ironing board and iron in the room. I had to request one, and the first iron brought was black with caked on burnt material. They took that one back and said she hoped that one was Ok as there wasn't another on the shelf. Is there really only two irons for the whole hotel? No safe in the room. Sometimes a must for me if I have my work laptop. However, I had left it securely locked away at my office. The shower head is fixed and water went everywhere when I turned on, awaiting for warm water. The latter seemed difficult control, and was sometimes far too hot. I asked what wines they sold by the glass, I asked for white, I was told there was only one, and that was Sauvignon Blanc. This is extremely strange for any hotel, let alone a bar that only servers one white wine by the glass. They have three reds by the glass. Apparently they are trying to run down stocks before changing over to new list of wines. A good idea would be to reduce those wines by the bottle; I'm sure they would still make a profit. The menu was the same on Wednesday evening as the one on Monday. I asked how often it was changed I was told every NINE (9) months!! Another said that it was seasonal, the two answers didn't add up. Extra Notes. When I was transferred to another room, I found waiting for me a bowl of fruit, a small box of chocolates, and a bathrobe and slippers. I think that is exceptional service to say sorry. The room also had a expresso coffee making machine, which I sampled and really enjoyed. The new room was situated on the ground floor, and overlooked the balancing pond. Very idyllic. That all adds up to a big thank you. A three course meal is £26.95, but there are supplements. For example, I had a starter and a main which would be £22.95, but I had the 10oz ribeye steak, which had a £6 supplement. It was succulent and delicious. A pint of John Smith's is £3.60, and a large glass of Shiraz was £6.70. I discovered another lounge area just as I was leaving. All in all, would I return? The answer is: yes.

The rooms are all delightfully furnished in tasteful styles, the service is excellent & the staff are friendly & helpful. The setting of the hotel & it's surrounding grounds are lovely. The restaurant offers a good, if small, selection of well prepared & delicious food, although the wine list is rather lacking. The service in the restaurant can be hit & miss, on some occasions it has been excellent, on others it leaves a lot to be desired. Overall, however it's generally a pleasant dining experiance.

Never really had much of a problem with Travelodges in the past and having stayed here before I…read moreknew what to expect but little did I know..... First off the location is great for anything going on in Wolverhampton City Centre not to far to walk. Arrived 30 minutes before the check in time but was allowed to check in early and get into our room. Arrived to our room but there was no door number on it (see picture) so filling in the gap between 2 and 4 we guessed this was our room. Booked a family room as there was 3 of us on this trip, I open the door to find a double bed, a single bed and a mattress. All of these were really uncomfortable and the double bed with 2 people on, you role into the middle due to a massive dip. We settle in for a couple of drinks and stick the TV on which looks as if it is about to fall of the wall due to the bracket (see pics) We then notice mold and damp all around the window absolutely terrible stuff, we could of asked to be moved but couldn't be bothered with the hassle of unpacking and moving. Went out to a concert and then we come back get something to eat and hit the hay. All night I could hear people in the corridors talking loudly like it was a party all night long, then the room next door are shouting. 2:30am I go to the reception where a specky yam yam is working, I ask him if he can do anything regarding the noise from next door and he laughs and see's what he can do. Anyhow get off to sleep for a few hours and then awaken. Go to open the blind on the window and it is dripping with condensation (the blind) all over the window seal. Also no free Wi-Fi thieves! Next time I will pay the extra and stay in either the Premier Inn or if I am feeling flush the Novotel.

I'd recommend this place for visitors to the City.

There's everything from Mussels to sizzling skillets, pies and grills. Food here is all homemade and great value. Huge portions too. I had a mixed grill on my last visit which included steak, gammon, pork chop, lamb chop, sausage, black pudding, eggs, onion rings, Tomato, mushrooms, peas and their amazing homecut chips. £9.45. Bargain! My Other half had a burger (again) where he could choose 3 toppings from a list. Also served with chips and was around £6.50. Drinks are very reasonable and this place is a must if you're nearby. It's gaining a brilliant reputation and you'll need to book at the weekend.

It gets your adrenaline pumping when the guy is speaking from a loud tanner especially when the horses are drawing to the final part of the race. It was a real treat going today as it was a promotion that they were doing and you get to see the high class sort of people there who must be their week in week out. I got to see Michael Owen today aswel. The people there are a real gem speaking to you to as though you are one of their own.

This is a relatively new addition in a former office block on St Philip's Square (front rooms get a…read moreview of the Cathedral). Location wise, it's around five minutes from New St or Snow Hill stations and very central. It's as close as you get to a leafy spot in central Birmingham. The reception is stripped down, with self check-in and an assistant to help. Breakfast and dinner are provided in the adjacent Beefeater (named "Bar & Block"). The rooms are pretty standard, but quite well soundproofed, and I didn't suffer from external noise or that from other rooms. Free wifi was perfectly adequate for email and messaging. The beds are very comfortable, though neither the 'soft' or standard 'hard' pillows quite do it for me. The problem for sleeping, however, was the noise of the heating/cooling unit fan - an irritating whine which meant I had to turn it off to go to sleep and then awoke at 4am too warm. There was also a peculiar, intermittent watery noise, which I presume was someone flushing or washing elsewhere in the building, though it may have been the air-conditioning. Breakfast was ok, a fairly standard buffet, though Europeans would bemoan the lack of cheese and cold meats. I returned from getting a second cup of coffee to find the waitress clearing away the toast I had just buttered, although she apologised and offered to get me another. So, ok for the price (£118 including breakfast on a weeknight) but not outstanding value given the imperfect sleep.

Premier Inn is considered to be a budget chain hotel. However, having stayed at several of their…read morehotels in the last year, I have to say that I'm most impressed. The website is clear, comprehensive and it's easy to compare several nearby hotels to choose the most suitable one. My family and I stayed at this Premier Inn in Birmingham city centre earlier this year to attend the All England Badminton finals at the National Indoor Arena. The hotel is perfectly located in the city centre, close to all the shops and restaurants but only 20 minute walk along a pedestrianised route from the NIA. There is some metered parking outside the hotel but for longer term parking, it's best to use one of the many public car parks nearby. We used the Brunel Street car park which is a 5 minute walk away and cost around £8 for 24 hours on a Sunday. Check in is a funny affair with self service machines to enter your details but with very eager staff hovering to help. This hotel is very well staffed with helpful people and I'm not really sure why they don't just use a traditional check in system. The rooms were big and like other Premier Inns I've stayed at, quite modern and updated. There was a problem with the shower door in one of the rooms but we were given a new room immediately. The beds were comfortable. There was a nice looking on-site restaurant but we chose to eat out. This hotel satisfied both the CTG (Chinese Thrift Gene) and the CQG (Chinese Quality Gene)!

We had great weather and the opportunity to sit outside (they have a nice garden area inside the building with the rooms) was fantastic. Also, the pub has tables by the pond and great to get a drink, we even had dinner, next to the water with the ducks walking among the tables. Rooms are comfortable but not exceptional. Service is friendly. Despite the beautiful grounds, the walking trails near the hotel, including along a channel, are underwhelming. I was also not that impressed with the nearby towns but the RAF Museum, 30 mins away, is worth an afternoon.

A prom in highschool, a wedding last year, and endless dinners and lunches. The staff are always marvellous, and the food is always great. The bar is extremely dark, which is always a huge shock, but particularly on days like Saturday where the sun was so bright! I was feeling a little fragile and not particularly hungry after a breakfast treat in stafford with a wonderful friend, so plumped for something light. I fancied the duck salad, and was told it was off the menu, I said I would leave it, as everything else seemed quite heavy or dairy Laiden. It turned out a couple of minutes later- the only thing they didn't have was the peanuts, due to a severe allergy guest that day (why they didn't say that to begin with, I don't know) but it was wonderful, the dick wasn't too fatty, and fell off the bone wonderfully. Everything intermingled beautifully, giving you a different taste every time you took a bite. I do recommend this place, most certainly- but I will say- do double check fine print if you are having your wedding here! My uncle fell into the pudding trap last summer- so be careful!
