It was ok.

Clean Room - Noisy in halls at night. Staff were pleasant. Food wasn't the best i've had and Breakfast was a buffet but the heating plates were not keeping the food particularly hot. Otherwise it was ok. Area is on top of the university and nothing else close by.

Lovely, helpful, friendly staff. Good food. Excellent room, especially the bed & bathroom. Brilliant (and a relief) to be able to charge electric car overnight. Hope you can get more of the charge points operational again soon. Affordable price for two (£80)

Over many years my husband and I have spent thousands of pounds with Expedia on hotel and flight bookings, as it offers great value for money and efficient support. On this occasion I booked a night at the Marriot hotel in Keele as a stop-over on a journey from a ferry in Holyhead and my destination in Cambridge. Unfortunately the ferry was cancelled at the last minute due to adverse weather, so I called the hotel and Expedia to inform them of this fact. The hotel told me to call Expedia. When I did I was told that they would contact the hotel and see what they could do about a refund or book another date. Expedia told me that the hotel was refusing to help. I asked the Expedia operator to call the manager of the hotel, which he said he would. He never call me back. I am very disappointed with this sort of treatment, as we have been loyal customers for such a long time. I would like Expedia to help arrange a complimentary night at the same hotel for 11th October. Can you please look into this matter and revert to me. Thank You Mr & Mrs M.

A very comfortable and friendly hotel - and ideally situated for a meeting at the University (within walking distance). My only issue is that there is no mobile signal anywhere in the hotel (it works if you stand outside the entrance!). It does have good free WiFi though. Great place to stay

Impeccable!

Modern sleek hotel on Keele Uni campus. Beautiful spacious rooms with large walk in showers. Full marks to the cleaning staff as everything is imacculate. The staff at check-in, the bar , the restaurant were all very friendly and professional. Have to call out Connie who was really welcoming and managed to find me a table for dinner. Superb breakfast too. 👌 The only downside was the EV charging points were all taped up except one This could have been an issue if you were relying on charging up your car here
