Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located for accessing Coventry or traveling around the Midlands. The rooms were a bit tired but acceptable for a short stay, with minor maintenance issues reported. The service was warm and professional, with staff going out of their way to assist. The dining experience offered good value for money with a varied selection, though some dishes could be improved. The location is ideal for those visiting Warwick University and easy to reach via the motorway.
The hotel rooms massively need renovating and feel a bit overlooked without net curtains. However, the staff were nice and helpful but could use a deep clean. The location is perfect near the city center and motorway. The dining options were a bit dry, but the buffet had a good variety. Overall, the hotel needs refurbishment but is conveniently located.
The hotel really suffered from a case of style over substance. The rooms were dated needing proper carpet laying, but they were clean, quiet, and comfortable. Using a normal key to enter the rooms was a bit old-fashioned compared to the card system most hotels use.
