The location is very handy if looking for a short stay near the M6. The hotel is reasonably large and caters for casual visitors as well as hotel guys given it's location next to water. Accordingly, the bar areas can be quite busy. The rooms were clean, a decent size and the beds extremely large and comfortable. The food in the restaurant was tasty and well presented and the service attentive without being intrusive. The Hotel prices were higher than some but still felt it was reasonable value for the quality of the food and the level of service provided. Definitely a good spot for a break from travelling .
