I've stayed in this hotel 3 times over the years, once in 2007, once in 2008 and for four nights in 2012. The good points first. It has a really nice pool, spa and the gym is excellent, so if you're a business traveller, these are real plus points.

There's also a new Starbuck's on site, which is open from 7am week days, so you can get a decent fix of coffee before you go anywhere.

Food wise, there's the Verve restaurant, as well as the Victory Pub, which serves pretty standard bar food. To be honest, the pub is probably the better of the two.

The restaurant menu seems quite limited, lacks soul and why do you pay £2 more for a prawn cocktail there than in the pub (which was pretty nice anyway!) Still haven't figured that one out.

Now, the gripe. The hotel has a wing which is much (and I mean much colder than the other wing of the hotel). You can physically feel the temperature drop as soon as you walk over the threshold into it, which means cold rooms and I mean properly cold. The week I was there, the temperature was below freezing during the day and the room had just a small electric heater.

Guess what, when you leave the room, the power goes off, as does the heating. If you get put there, expect to be chilly.

This is a perfectly OK hotel. It's clean, the bed was comfortable, I slept well enough, but it just doesn't have consistent quality in all areas to make it a 4 dot review.

Went with friends for a long weekend. The food not up to much, staff were very good though.Make sure you take all necessary toiletries with you as the ones in the bathroom are very basic. Shower over bath very good and plenty of hot water, towels changed when requested. All in all it's an average hotel, but make sure if you want to use the leisure club that you get in early as it's open to outsiders and gets very very busy especially with children. The 'pub' prices in the hotel are very misleading - can have special offers on but not advertised so please ask and if you stay over a weekend the offers may be on 1 night but not the other so beware. One thing I will say is that the beds are one of the most comfortable we have slept in.

We were excited to find a fairly reasonable priced hotel near to our son in Coventry and we were looking forward to a relaxing weekend. Our plans to eat in the Victory pub attached to the hotel were quickly quashed by the over powering Karaoke which started despite the fact that, like us, most of the customers were happily watching the FA Cup game on the big screen. When the DJ tried to turn the TV off he was stopped by the mother of a family sitting next to us but this did not stop him turning up the music so that any conversation or football watching could take place. We left before ordering food and went into town. Before leaving I went to collect our coats from our room where I was greeted with the Karaoke blasting through the floor. I asked at reception when the music stopped and the helpful girl rang someone whom confirmed it would be 11.30pm. Knowing there was no point returning before this time we stayed out until 11.30 but on our return the party was still up and running even louder than before. At 11.50 I rang reception to ask about when the music would stop and was told they would try for midnight- which is when the music did stop. The reception did offer to change our room but at this point it was late and we really couldn't face the hassle. I wonder though, if there were quieter rooms available why the hotel don't put guests in those before filling up the ones directly above the pub?

Other than this I found the cleaning in the room slack, when I picked the towels up from behind the bathroom door there was a pile of dust and hairs which had not been cleaned for some time and the TV and windowsill were equally dusty. If this hotel had sold itself to us as a budget one I would have accepted these minor failings but I find the glossy website and talk of "Luxury British break" misleading.

I stayed here whilst on a business trip to Coventry. The room was comfortable with TV, tea making facilities and an ironing board. The Wi-fi was free and had a strong signal throughout the hotel.

The hotel has a restaurant and a bar that serves reasonably priced pub type food.

Breakfast consisted of cereal, toast and self service cooked food.

There were extensive leisure facilities including a gym, sauna and pool.

An ideal hotel for business travellers.
