This facility provides rooms at a higher level than Premier Inn, but at a fraction of the "actual" price you will pay at a Premier Inn and it is half board. This is a conference centre so the restaurant is similar to a large facility canteen. There were two or three choices of main course, for dinner, and a hot dessert. There is also a complementary salad bar, cheese bar with a good selection and a cold dessert bar all of which are self service. Tea, coffee and other hot beverages as well as fruit juice were also available all at no extra charge. Breakfast was a good choice of hot and cold food as well as yoghurt and fresh fruit. Local Premier Inns were looking for twice the price I paid (£74.75), without dinner.

No Air con in the room and the window only opened a fraction. Outside of the room was noisy until 10.30 mainly due to the hot weather and the alcohol that some of the residents had imbibed after their relevant meetings. I have been there myself before and it was all quiet after 10.30.

I booked last minute as I needed to be closer to Stafford town centre for the Ironman 70.3 on the Sunday. The hotel was the closest I could find so late in the day. However despite the extra time it took to get into town (30 mins) it proved to be a brilliant find and an ideal pre race base. A quiet location in the country side it had everything catered for. Breakfast and dinner were included in the price and I even had lunch on the Saturday which was great. They also had an in house Costa Coffee. The rooms were spacious and the centre was very quiet.

I needed to make tea and porridge in my room before the race but the kettle's were tiny. Thankfully the staff were very helpful and provided me with two kettle's so it wasn't an issue!

Fantastic value for money, especially considering it included breakfast and evening meal. The food was high quality and the staff were very helpful and friendly. There was a great selection for breakfast, and a choice of three options for evening meal, with some cakes in the buffet for a sweet. The location is about half an hour from Alton Towers, which was fine for us. The main building and reception area was modern and looked very professional and suitable for business meetings.

The room was a bit dated and there were some scratches on the wall, but nothing major.

Very friendly smiling hardworking staff Food was varied and wholesome with a buffet style setup both at breakfast and dinner Good power shower, loads of hot water, lovely comfy bed good sized bedrooms

Stained carpets( apart from that all very clean) Only 1 towel for two people. I rang reception and never received more. Had to go and source another from reception myself Found the layout quite different to usual hotel stays but got used to it after the initial strangeness

I loved the evening dinner and breakfast. Room was amazing and I loved the shower gel and I meant to ask for a sample bottle to take home but I have the make so going to google and buy some on line.

The only think I have a wee gripe about was no hot chocolate enabled from the machine in the restaurant and no cream/custard for the pudding.

The food was good, well presented and the restaurant was spacious, comfortable. In all, our dining experience was excellent. Massive carpark, no parking difficulties, that for me is a massive bonus.

The room was quite small. It felt odd that reception, bar and restaurant are in a separate building from the accommodation blocks.

Liked the buffet dinner and breakfast,so nice to pick what you want not to be forced to eat what's on the plate. My son is very picky,even he did find everything he wanted! Great! Room was two single beds clean,full toiletries,towels,TV. Had big bath, it was amazing to find it as after rainy and cold day it was so nice to soak in hot bath :-) and the biggest thank you to the receptionist who helped us a lot,was patient and very friendly. After very tired day he put our moods up ☺️

Got lost at the night time as the road was closed but when phoned to the hotel the staff was so helpful and patient with us explained how to get with no problems. Big thank you!

Ideal for attending the conference on site, room comfortable but basic. Dinner and breakfast, plenty of choice.

Not worth the price for basic facilities, no hair drier, and dinner ending at 7:30pm.

A different experience staying for just one night. A training centre for Openreach. Dinner was canteen style and was a high standard. A good choice of meal’s. Breakfast was excellent. Again a very good choice of hot and continental. Room’s were large and the bed was comfortable.

A bit of a walk from the car park to the reception and the rooms were well away from the canteen.

The reception staff went the 'extra mile' to ensure that the accommodation available was suitable for my wife as a disabled guest. Also, that a nice salad was provided even though we arrived after the hot meals were no longer being served

Hot dinners only available until 19.00.
