Corus Hotel Solihull  

I liked the proximity to the M42 and the fact that you could not hear the traffic although near to a busy main road. The staff were friendly and the hotel was very clean. The twin room was comfortable and value for money

A shower cap would have been useful. Only one pack of biscuits in the room and towels out for one person although we booked a twin room. (Did find spare set of towels in the wardrobe.

Being able to stay in a nice hotel with our dogs , taking them into the bar to eat , the fact that you serve food so late , even the bar food is good quality and priced reasonably . We show dogs as a hobby , having used your Hotel for Crufts we enjoy it so much we will be using when ever we are in the area , excellent in every way , thank-you

Coffee at breakfast was luke warm , only one small pot between us , which we had finnished long before we had our food

Adequate for my business trip

Bar area

It was very dated, needed a lick of paint and was generally very shabby. The breakfast very overpriced and not very good

Handy for M42

Inadequate shower. Very low water pressure.

Location was ideal for my meeting at cranmore business park. Nice hotel with all-round facilities apart from leisure facilities were on the small side & especially jacuzzi. A bath in my bathroom. Tea & coffee in room. Cosy room with everything i needed & nice view of garden. Free on-site parking & free wi-fi is a big plus.

Smell in room & bathroom on arrival - housekeeping need to use fragranced cleaning agents or something. Jacuzzi too small. Showers in leisure part were in bad condition & i waited till i got back to my room to have 1. Hotel could do with being redecorated.

Hotel has a pool (with spa, steamroom & sauna) and a gym. Changing facilities are a bit basic, but pool was ok and never too busy (at least when I chose to use it). I'd stayed at the hotel about 18months before although this was the first time I used the pool. My room was comfy & warm. The bathroom was a bit small, with small bath and fixed shower - however I used the one in the fitness centre mostly. I've never eaten in the restaurant so can't comment. The hotel bar is a sports bar although there is a quiet lounge too you can relax and eat in. Bar menu is basic but good value. Also got a great room price considering there was a big show at NEC that week. Would certainly stay there again in future.

The name. "The Regency" conjours up images of somewhere grand and opulent. The reality is that it's a nice enough hotel, rooms are clean with standard facilities. There's the added bonus of the pool & gym if you are so inclined, but the Morrisey bar is like a throwback to a working men's social club with a projector showing sky sports and football all the time. But there is another lounge if you prefer somewhere quieter. Also, I'd reverse the exit and entrance to car park as trying to get out in rush hour is tricky.

The hotel was fine. We had our dog with us so they gave us a ground floor room where we could let her out.

The Hotel was in a perfect location for us. The Hotel receptionist was very pleasant, helpful and there was no problems booking in. The Hotel and the room was clean and any of the staff we had dealings with were very polite and the rooms were cleaned each day all in all we would definitely stay again.

Just two things that did put a "slight" down on our visit was the fact that there was no hand wash/soap provided. On arrival I went down to reception and asked had they got any soap for the bathroom and was given 3 small sample shampoo as they had no soap but was reassured that it was mild shampoo and that it would do the same job (That made us smile). We were told we would get some the following day (we didn't get any soap in fact the cleaner took the 3 shampoos away haha). The thing which we feel is something to think about prior to booking is that the Hotel has a function room upstairs on guest room floor level along with a downstairs venue. On the Friday night that we stayed from 8pm the music blasted. I would not have minded but to make it worse it was 1980's music and as I didnt like it in the 80's so I certainly don't like it now :-) After being told by the reception about the venue on or floor just down the hall and also that it was going on to 1am we asked for another room, she sorted it out instantly and although we had to repack and move to another part of the Hotel, it was worth the good nights sleep and not a whimper of Dexys Midnight runners was heard :-) All in all we will stay again its really minor in the bigger picture of things.

It suited our purpose,as a night before our flight.And having stayed there. before we knew exactly what to expect.

Reasonable priced and well located. Room well appointed.

Smalland uncomfortable bed. Thin walls between rooms. Long walk to room and scruffy.

The most horrible bar possible.
