Spent my Wedding night here, having lived in Tamworth on and off all my life and never having…read morestayed here previously. I have to say I was pleasantly suprised. The room was the honeymoon suite and had a four poster (not sure of cost as it was paid for as a gift), and beautiful en suite. It was very well presented, opulent and impeccably clean. They left us a half bottle of champagne and chocolates on the pillows - but I think that was due to the circumstances more than anything!! Normally the rooms range in price anything from £50 to approx £120 and are bookable by phone or internet. Great value. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. Location wise the hotel is a stone throw from Tamworth town centre and the bars, pubs and restaurants. Also its set next to the grounds of the original Norman castle and wihich in itself makes it both a historical and very romantic setting. Stay here for a romantic break, for a sightseeing trip, to explore the castle and grounds, or as a base to visit nearby Warwickshire and its beautiful countryside for long walks. Whilst in Tamworth do also check out the Snowdome, for skiing and tobogganing, the castle gardens and grounds for peaceful relaxation, the Castle itself for a bit of history and some ghost hunting!!!. There is also a multi-plex cinema, bowling alley and the usual selection of pubs/places to eat. Note- if you want a lively hotel teeming with nightlife - probably not for you.

They even helped me keep track of the groom before the wedding so we didn't bump in to each other. The room for the wedding was beautifully decorated with our decorations we could not have done it better ourselves. Our toastmaster Phil was so helpful and thanks to him our day went perfect. Our wedding breakfast and evening buffet was delicious and presented lovely with all our guests dietary requirements met. We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day and it was all thanks to the staff.

The staff at the Drayton Court were so incredibly friendly and accommodating, they not only found us a room (family of four) but they went out of their way to ensure we felt like we were home.

The breakfast each morning was so delicious and again, service was friendly and welcoming and made our stay so very special. The room was beautiful, clean and spacious. Everything about the Hotel was brilliant! I highly highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. We will be back!

Inside was still traditionally maintained but looked a little tired. The food in the italian restaurant next door was really tasty and surprisingly reasonably priced.

This is a relatively new addition in a former office block on St Philip's Square (front rooms get a…read moreview of the Cathedral). Location wise, it's around five minutes from New St or Snow Hill stations and very central. It's as close as you get to a leafy spot in central Birmingham. The reception is stripped down, with self check-in and an assistant to help. Breakfast and dinner are provided in the adjacent Beefeater (named "Bar & Block"). The rooms are pretty standard, but quite well soundproofed, and I didn't suffer from external noise or that from other rooms. Free wifi was perfectly adequate for email and messaging. The beds are very comfortable, though neither the 'soft' or standard 'hard' pillows quite do it for me. The problem for sleeping, however, was the noise of the heating/cooling unit fan - an irritating whine which meant I had to turn it off to go to sleep and then awoke at 4am too warm. There was also a peculiar, intermittent watery noise, which I presume was someone flushing or washing elsewhere in the building, though it may have been the air-conditioning. Breakfast was ok, a fairly standard buffet, though Europeans would bemoan the lack of cheese and cold meats. I returned from getting a second cup of coffee to find the waitress clearing away the toast I had just buttered, although she apologised and offered to get me another. So, ok for the price (£118 including breakfast on a weeknight) but not outstanding value given the imperfect sleep.

Premier Inn is considered to be a budget chain hotel. However, having stayed at several of their…read morehotels in the last year, I have to say that I'm most impressed. The website is clear, comprehensive and it's easy to compare several nearby hotels to choose the most suitable one. My family and I stayed at this Premier Inn in Birmingham city centre earlier this year to attend the All England Badminton finals at the National Indoor Arena. The hotel is perfectly located in the city centre, close to all the shops and restaurants but only 20 minute walk along a pedestrianised route from the NIA. There is some metered parking outside the hotel but for longer term parking, it's best to use one of the many public car parks nearby. We used the Brunel Street car park which is a 5 minute walk away and cost around £8 for 24 hours on a Sunday. Check in is a funny affair with self service machines to enter your details but with very eager staff hovering to help. This hotel is very well staffed with helpful people and I'm not really sure why they don't just use a traditional check in system. The rooms were big and like other Premier Inns I've stayed at, quite modern and updated. There was a problem with the shower door in one of the rooms but we were given a new room immediately. The beds were comfortable. There was a nice looking on-site restaurant but we chose to eat out. This hotel satisfied both the CTG (Chinese Thrift Gene) and the CQG (Chinese Quality Gene)!

We're not sure what this is like normally for sunday dinner etc. but it hasn't put us off going back.

Today we have gone to book our spa treatments to be told that the spa is not included. This was not clear at all and we even contacted them a few weeks ago to book treatments for the Spa day and were told that we would be able to book on the day with no mention of the fact our stay did not include the spa. Furthermore, the FAQ specifically on our booking mentions that the heat and ice experience are not recommended for pregnant people, which would indicate it was included. We have tried speaking to someone, have offered to pay extra to be told no. It's a 2 1/2 hour drive for a hotel stay for over £200 and due to the rudeness will not be going and will be contacting our bank. Really disappointed. This is the same package we have booked over the previous 5 years. I would not recommend and they have lost a faithful customer!

Very nice indeed, but the spa was much too busy. We went on a Sunday. We did the overnight spa…read moredeal which was rather good for £89 each if sharing a room, which includes B&B, buffet lunch, 3 course dinner and a 25 minutes treatment. A single supplement is a whopping £60. It's a large hotel with a very strange system of room numbering and a maze of corridors on two floors. If you expect your room starting with a '4' to be on the fourth floor, then you will not find it as there is no fourth floor, it is all on the second floor, and the numbers do not go in any order, luckily the number signage is very good or you would end up all night going round and round! The Whisper Area with hanging chairs and water beds was a lovely area to relax in, except it was spoilt by the heavy footfall and people laughing and talking as the spa was much too busy. The Heat and Ice was an experience, although did not see anyone doing the Ice experience! Again this area is too busy, the jacuzzi was packed and you had to wait for everything like the hot seat, the stone bed (didn't do anything for me), the foot spa, and the sauna, steam, crystal rooms were all very full and felt quite uncomfortable with too many bodies. I did not go to the pool area which was on a different level, as it was jammed packed with bodies. The treatment waiting area was much, much nicer, as less people and quiet. I had the body massage which was excellent. The buffet lunch was average, salads and cold meats. We had the last sitting at 2pm so the food was not as fresh as if you had the first sitting and mostly had ran out. The dinner was much better, waiter service and I absolutely loved my Orzo Pasta starter with sun dried tomatoes, artichoke, red pepper coulis. It was absolutely delicious. Wish they did it as a main as it was just not enough. For mains I had the braised brisket of beef, which came as a large block, looks weird and it was much too salty. It came with herb crushed baby potatoes which was perfect and delicious, roast shallot, a couple of leaves of kale and red wine jus. I had to ask for more kale since it was very bland, it helped me to eat the very salty beef otherwise, I would not have been able to eat it! For dessert, I had the maple and pecan sponge, tonka bean ice cream. Alas, the small scoop of ice cream was almost liquid by the time it came, and the maple syrup was much too sweet for my taste. So a very hit and miss meal. The buffet breakfast was very good, with plenty of choices, from black pudding to hash browns, scrambled eggs, the whole works for the hot choices, and Continental for the cold. All in all a relaxing time spent for a friend's special birthday. Missed the little details though in the rooms, no little bottles of body lotion or shower cap. If you forget to bring, these are really useful, and I had to buy flip flops for the spa, as I forgot my own! But it came with a nice holdall. May be visit again during week days when it is less busy and go out to eat!

The entrance is around the back - through the White Horse car park adjoining where you can get breakfast and dinner. If you stay at the Premier Inn here, ask for a room roadside.

The breakfast room had a lovely view of the turn in the canal. You can easily walk into Nottingham centre along the canal too, where you can get to the cool bars that are on the canal. If you go along canal the opposite way you will meet the Trent river and have a smashing view of Notts Forests City grounds. It's a nice walk too, during which we saw a family of Canada Geese. I guess it'd be a pretty handy hotel for the of Notts Forests games, as well as any of the cricket games at Trent Bridge.
