Surprisingly good stay

comfortable bedlively atmospheregreat choiceeasy access
We booked a double room for three nights.. the room was super clean. The bed was especially comfortable. The bar offered a great choice of drinks. The atmosphere was lively. It was really easy to access from the M6.
The thermostat on the bathroom radiator was missing, so I couldn't adjust it. The radiator clicked on and off frequently during the night. This minor issue was the only slight disturbance during an otherwise superb stay.
