Very friendly and helpful staff. They were so accommodating for whatever we asked for. Nice clean room, and a lovely comfy bed. Local to Kidderminster town centre, and also to Bewdley centre. an Ideal location for West Mids safari park too. All are within a 10 minute drive from hotel. I Would definitely stay there again if I’m ever in that area.

The hotel needs to be a little bit more welcoming. The outside could definitely needs a good clean. The bathroom could have had glasses in there. The floors needs a good scrub as the grout looks dirty around the floor tiles. The light in the bedroom keeps flickering. Odd size cups in the bedroom. The breakfast was poor, only beans and hard boiled eggs as a hot choice. Only full fat milk also.

WiFi wasn’t working for entire stay. Staff member told me it had been down and would be fixed in 2 hours but wasn’t. Room was freezing, heating didn’t work. Staff brought me an electric heater but this struggled to warm the room. Sheets were coarse and uncomfortable. Room was extremely noisy. Made 2 noise complaints about a neighbouring room. Staff came and spoke to them but noise did not stop. Walls were paper thin. Got very poor sleep, and did not feel I got value for my money. Staff were very pleasant though so they are a credit to the hotel.

I strongly do not recommend staying at this hotel. It is nothing like the photos suggest, and the reality is a far cry from what’s promised. The photos on the website are outdated and show the hotel as it was before it was closed and later repurposed by the UK Home Office to house asylum seekers. It appears the property was recently bought, but no renovations have been made. The entire hotel feels worn down, dated, and in desperate need of major refurbishment. The rooms and common areas are a far cry from the sleek, modern aesthetic promised in the images. There’s no sign of a bar or restaurant, despite both being advertised. Instead, you're left with a tired, almost abandoned feel, which makes it hard to believe any real investment has been made in maintaining the place. Breakfast was another disappointment. It was extremely basic—just hard-boiled eggs and baked beans served hot, along with a small selection of cereals and pastries. Certainly not the fresh, varied spread one would expect at a hotel of any standard. Overall, the experience left a lot to be desired. In short, I’d advise looking elsewhere for your stay. It’s clear this hotel has not kept up with its promises or its facilities, and it’s unlikely you’ll find the comfort or quality you’re hoping for here.

Not a very good night's sleep

The reception staff was welcoming when we arrived . The main problem I had was the Aircon when in use was very noisy and when turned off kept making a water like noise the whole night until roughly 0730am. Also when the Aircon was off the room was very cold and the duvet was extremely thin !

Week-end break

This was our wedding venue 33 years ago and we stayed this weekend to visit friends and family. The hotel looks tired and dreary and unfortunately no ambience. The rooms were clean but in need of some TLC. I used a Tesco voucher and I’m not sure I’d be happy with the £92 price tag if I was paying. No breakfast being served or evening meals as the hotel was too quiet to bring in chefs and waiting in staff. This we fully understood as we run our own pub and B and B, but it would have been good to know when booking from hotels.com. We were welcomed warmly and with just one person running the hotel a great job was done. We hope this venue can power through the difficult times and return to its former popularity and glory. We wish you all the best

Saturday night stop

Arrived in room to find it smelly and smelling of smoke. I opened the window to vent and left it open and all was fine. However I later discovered why the room smelt. When we returned later the room stank again this was because we were above the smoking shelter which everyone used until 2,30 in the morning. Do not book a room at the front of the hotel and take earplugs if you do. The manager in the morning was sympathetic but I had paid the day before so he was blowing smoke you know where. Convenience great but beware if they have a function on

The staff did what they could to help but numbers seemed to be thin - it looks as though the hotel has struggled with the recent downturn. The furniture and bathroom fittings were all all very good - but there was no restaurant and no atmosphere, and the staff did their best in the circumstances.
