“Good Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

Good chain hotel experience, staff friendly & hotel very clean (rooms and public areas).

Room allocated (3rd floor) was a good size, double bed, decent sized LCD TV (several channels). Bathroom was also a decent size, with a large shower.

One thing to note, this hotel does seem to still have smoking rooms, make sure you have booked the type of room you really want.

Didn't have an evening meal in hotel but did have a couple of breakfasts, perfectly adequate to start the day with 2-3 cooked items and the rest cold items, cereal, toast etc.

We did eat out in evenings, several options across the dual-carriageway (overpass), had a really nice Indian meal (Champagne restaurant) as recommened by reception.

Overall, no issues in staying here again.

Room Tip: Check room booked carefully (WRT smoking/non smoking)

“Recent business stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

Visited the hotel to allow me to miss the rush hour commute to a nearby training facility. The postcode dropped me in some car park on the other side of the dual carriageway and being dark had to ask someone local for advice.
Good car park in the snow drome facility, close to the hotel and well lit.
Was on the 4th floor near the lift, very quiet room even when facing the road. Missing the bulb from the table lamp, Sarah from reception was very good to find me a spare bulb, that lasted for maybe 5 seconds and no more spares, the other lady whose name I forgot came up to tweak the heating & ventilation system that was set to 31C, no instructions and eventually got it sorted.

TV has premium options, so parents need to be aware, think it was £9 to watch battleships, but had already watched on a much larger screen :)

Food on site with nice selection of drinks and some classic meals, reasonably priced and would be happy to stay and eat here again.

Room was very clean, did not use the internet, but no need to do so.

Double bed with a choice of 2 firm or 2 soft pillows, labelled so a nice touch.

Very clean.

Pre paid on flexible booking for about £70, the day rate was i think £120, but no rooms left

Room Tip: any on the fourth floor :)

Dear Mr Liddle,

Thank you for your feedback about your recent stay with us in the Holiday Inn Express Tamworth.

We are located next to the Snow Dome and we share the same car park. I am sorry your satellite navigation did not direct you here. We have experienced this problem with a certain type of Sat nav system.

I am pleased you found the room quiet, albeit we had a few hiccups in the room maintenance; I am pleased to hear our team tried to correct the issues.

We have free view TV channels in the hotel, giving plenty of option to choose from. We also have ‘pay movies’ which cost from £8.95 per movie. These movies are Blockbuster movies and get updated on a regular monthly basis.

We are delighted to hear you were satisfied with our limited evening meal offers and the prices.
We look forward to welcoming you again in the very near future.

“Good location for local attractions”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2012

We stayed here over half term with our 2 young children.
We received a warm welcome from the staff and throughout our stay the staff were excellent. They had good local knowledge and were happy to help.
The room we had was a reasonable size with a very modern, clean bathroom with large shower (no bath). The beds however were disappointing and not the most comfortable. They really let the room down.
The hotel was very clean even in public areas such as the toilets.
Breakfast was a bit chaotic as the hotel was full and we needed to wait for some items such as sausages and croissants but the staff did their best to try to keep up.
The location of the hotel was excellent for visiting the snowdome, Tamworth Castle and Drayton Manor.

Dear Guest,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review.

We as a team take pride in what we do and we are keen to make our guests stay comfortable. We recommend local attractions on top of the mentioned, such as Twycross Zoo, The National Arboretum, Sea life Centre in Birmingham and many others.

I am sorry if you found the beds too soft and sofa beds worn. As the hotel is 3 years old, we have started a programme to replace these pieces of furniture.

Our breakfast can be hectic due to number of guest staying in the hotel and the team is really working hard to run the breakfast service smoothly.

I am pleased your overall experience was a good one and thank you again for your feedback to us.

We hope to welcome you back in the hotel again in the near future.
