Satisfactory Overnight Stay

clean room comfortable bed hot water shower problem

The room was clean. The ensuite was good. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful.

There was no hot water in the shower. I think that this is one of the most important things you pay for when renting a room. The hotel failed to provide this.

accommodating staff convenient access cooked eggs big car park

I found the staff to be very accommodating. the room included convenient access to the m42, a real plus for travel. i appreciated the good breakfast. They cooked eggs to order. the big car park made arrival and departure very smooth.

the digital screen on the radiator lacked instructions, so figuring out how to adjust the temperature took a bit.
