Terrible

Refused check in because we had no ID. Wasn't informed before hand we needed any. Stopped in many hotels in the UK and never needed my ID. Staff were extremely rude and very unhelpful, just saying that there was plenty of 9ther hotels we could try. Wouldn't give us any details to help with a refund and became aggressive trying to force us. Avoid this place at all costs.

Miserable

Just a miserable experience from the moment I arrived. No parking, tired old hotel, staff seemed like she didn’t want to be there. Barriers everywhere as if it was about to be burgled, terrible shower, terrifying lift, and most of all £120 for the night!! I’d have been disappointed if I paid half that price.

Good price but poor cleanliness service & sleep

On arrival the car park on the hotel website was wrong, I had to pop into the hotel and ask. The lady on the desk handed me a sheet of paper with a different, much, much more expensive car park. I asked for directions but she didn't know how to get there by car. I manager to find the road, but top tip, drive 50 metres down the road from the big car park and there is another small 24 hour csr park that is half the price. The room was okay, pretty much as you'd expect for the price but it was unpleasant to see what was behind the bedside cabinet when I was looking for a plug socket. In the evening I was woken around 4.30-5 by the fire alarm going off, then back on again three times and then the red flashing light staying on for a further few minutes. I struggled to fall back to sleep. On the whole I'd not book here again unless I had no alternative.

Would give this a miss.

I was hopeful when I saw the lobby but the hotel is getting quite run down. It was hot when we were there, there is no air conditioning and the windows (I am assuming for safety) only opened a few inches so it was nearly impossible to get any air into the room unless I also opened the door (with limited effect).

Worst service in Coventry

The worst service I’ve seen ever. It was too cold. Night around 2 AM I contacted the reception to turn on the heater. But they said they can’t do it. The way they responded was too harsh as if I’m staying without paying. This is really the worst experience I’ve ever faced.

The building is ok if you appreciate brutalist architecture. The huge rush mats at the entrance were filthy and dotted liberally with old chewing gum. Check-in was very slow with only one poor girl running the desk on her own. The shower wasn't working in my room (the mechanism that you would lift in order to have the water coming out of the shower as opposed to the taps was not working). In the end I went back down to reception and asked for a different room. I was kept waiting for 20 minutes before I had a new room to go to. On reaching my new room I first went into the bathroom to make sure that the shower was working. Alas the knob that would be lifted to have the shower working had been broken off. I took a photo (attached). Going back down to reception I was disappointed with the manager's (Robert) reaction to my issues. He said he'd go up to the room and check the shower himself even though I'd shown him the photo of the broken knob. It was now well over an hour since I'd checked in and my patience was wearing thin as I had appointments to meet later that afternoon. The manager returned saying his pass key/card wasn't working and was about to start looking for a different one. At this point, I was beyond caring about his pass key and told him and the girl on reception that I would not be staying and would be asking for a refund. I then had to book two more hotels to fulfil my 4 night stay in Coventry... all at the last minute.
