Michael United Kingdom

Breakfast was excellent… just the timings were a bit less as we were on holidays and found it difficult to make it for9:30

Aloysious United Kingdom

Nice clean room, comfy beds & very friendly staff. Very impressed, especially with the price. Couldn't fault this hotel at all.

Julie United Kingdom

The room was really spacious and comfortable and met my requirements for the night. Stafford was a convenient place to stop off on a longer trip. The hotel really tried to accommodate guests with dietary requirements and the breakfast system during the pandemic was very convenient.

Louise United Kingdom

Nice choices for grab and go bag for breakfast .Fast check in and nice and helpful receptionist

Naomi United Kingdom

Comfortable clean room which felt safe, easy to get a meal next door with dining outside to feel relaxed and safe.

Alexander United Kingdom

Easy to use for the Stafford Showground for Shows and events and Dog friendly

Shirkeira United Kingdom

The room was a good size with the usual facilities, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The breakfast was excellent, a great variety was available. I had the cooked breakfast and was delighted to see proper back bacon instead of streaky, it really did set me up for the day. There was ample parking and plenty of grassy area's for anyone travelling with dogs.

Elainne United Kingdom

Friendly staff who went out of their way to accommodate us and our 6 month old baby. Good breakfast and we were very grateful that the bar menu was still being served when we checked in at 8.30pm.

Duana United Kingdom

Everything was perfect and exceeded my expectations. The icing on the cake were the pillow choices!!!
