Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a convenient location, close to attractions and places of interest, offering a brilliant service that caters to special needs like accommodating a guide dog. However, the rooms need modernization, and the early morning noise disturbance is a downside.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although slightly dated and in need of attention. The smell of cigarette smoke was off-putting, but overall cleanliness was maintained. The staff were accommodating but could be loud at times. The location was convenient, close to the center of Lichfield and the cathedral, but being above the kitchen extraction system was a downside. The dining experience varied, with some dishes being excellent while others were disappointing. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel was lovely with great breakfast options and excellent staff who made me feel welcome. I would definitely consider staying here again. The only downside was that the room was not up to my expected standard.
The hotel was in a convenient location, ideal for exploring local sights, restaurants, and the cathedral. The rooms were a bit dark and had a lingering smell of cigarettes, but they were clean. The service was friendly but could have used more staff during busy times. The dining experience was lovely, with enormous portions, and the facilities were well-maintained.
