Staff were helpful but to be advised at check in there was no bar available seemed a bit poor. This is our second time staying here as the first time was excellent however wont stay again. Feel the hotel could if advised via email before the check in date.
Perfect for an overnight stay, very close to our concert venue.

Parking didn't feel secure; mine was the only car there on arrival and the whole place felt like it was closed. Luckily there was a receptionist who was polite enough. Bar was closed for the duration. No TV remote in the room, but they did provide when asked. Had to borrow a (leaky) iron from front desk but no board provided

The hotel looks as if it was built in the 1970s/80s and the bathroom looked a little tired BUT the room was clean with a large bed with spotless bed linen and towels.
Close to a main road - didn't bother me. I closed the window and slept well. Heating/air con worked well.
The bar was closed - they looked like they were running the hotel with only 4 staff BUT the staff attention, cheerfulness and willingness to help was exemplary. Free parking - and plenty of it was much appreciated.
Close to the National Agric. Centre. Very good value.
Not the most luxe hotel in the world but because of its location, free parking and the sheer welcome of the staff I would happily stay there again.
Didn't eat or drink there, unfortunately, but was impressed by staff - they were personable and keen to help. Plenty of visible parking space - criminals would not be able to act in secret, so it felt safe. Room was comfortable and spacious, air conditioning worked well to cool or warm to the right temperature.

Decent affordable place for the area. Staff very helpful and friendly. Breakfast is good.
The room was clean and well-presented. There was no noise from the road and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
.
We ate in the restaurant and the food arrived hot and promptly. Would eat there again.
This was the old Ramada Kenilworth - worth remembering because the sign on the roundabout still refers to it as that and it has its own exit. Excellent dual carriageway links to Coventry.
If all the rooms have been renovated to the same standard as ours, the bad reviews should soon be a thing of the past. There is a very impressive ballroon / function suite to the right of reception.
Only thing missing - a chair (or two) in the bedroom.
Many thanks

Great location
Comfortable but a little threadbare, definitely a great location and friendly staff
I nearly cancelled my stay after reading the reviews but I found them totally unfounded
My room was large had a comfy chair a desk would of been nice but bedside table moved so utilised that
Adequate choice of dinner choices friendly bar/wait staff
Check in was quick staff very polite provided extra tea bags when requested
Would definately stay again when overnighting for business as a woman single traveller I felt very safe
