Stayed overnight with my partner. Deal including breakfast was reasonable. However, the hotel has seen better days and is in need of some refurbishment. On the weekend night we stayed the hotel was very quiet and largely empty. I would think that the hotel relies on the conference trade. Th room was clean and the bed comfortable but a strong... more

Booked in for 2 nights for family occasion. Reception was OK, once staff arrived. Room appeared fine at first, although the uneven floor was "challenging" to my wife, who has orthopaedic difficulties. Hospitality tray bordered on the miserly. Wash hand basin was cracked, bathroom door was damaged At night, the room was very dingy and cold. Couldn't get the room... more

My wife and i booked her 50th birthday party at this hotel, 12 months in advance, over the course of the 12 months leading up to the party date, i think we dealt with 3/4 different people who were handling the party, i also booked 6 bedrooms for my family and i would guess at least another 12 were booked... more

My experience has not been a good one at all. My Laptop was stolen from my bag from inside my room. other Rooms on the same floor got hit too including another laptop and Car keys along with the car. at this point it does not sound likely that the hotel will reimburse me. i'm very sad! my life was... more

On arrival it appeared the hotel had recently been refurbished with a nicely decorated bar and restaurant. However, the bar and restaurant staff were so abrupt and unfriendly it was almost funny, telling us with no apology that we 'had to wait' for our drinks as they had run out of glasses, overcooked food being taken away with no replacement...... more

Luke warm meals, staff not very friendly, no heating in the bedroom - thank you for ruining my Christmas break. There is absolutely no way I would ever consider staying here again, nor would I recommend it, even for one night. more

I had the misfortune to spend a cold and wet night here in November, whilst on business. Arriving around 8pm, I made it into the restaurant for a bland meal, where the staff outnumbered the guests 2 to 1. I had to check to see if my watch had stopped. The bar was empty and soulless too. The front desk... more

Stayed new years eve,got a fantastic rate of £60 b&b,so cant really complain, but the hotel rooms are in need of a facelift with wallpaper peeling off in bathroom,and a bed that` had seen much better days. Breakfast was ok,but the sausages tasted off. Staff ok, but not impressed overall. more

Couldnt find anywhere else so we booked St Johns. Although the hotel was booked for a female Army re union which made breakfast interesting, our experience was better this time. Check in was great, and the room pretty good with split level bathroom. Car park free! However even in the colder months the rooms are incredibly hot and stuffy and... more

Pretty good!

This was my second visit. As good as the first one (last year, same time). I am surprised by other reviews as I am pretty fussy. Food has been good both visits. Room clean and comfortable. Beds have mattress toppers. Room a bit warm overnight. I only stay overnight while visiting the NEC but would gladly go again. I only... more
