I stayed at this hotel for one night on business and it was a really positive experience. Everything is brand spanking new and the build quality seems good - from the marble flooring in the lobby to the fixtures and fitting in the bedroom.

Don't confuse this hotel with the Holiday Inn Express on the other side of the same motorway junction which is far more basic (and currently around the same price although this may change as the HI gets busier).

Check in was smooth and friendly and as a Priority Club member I was offered an upgrade to a room in the Executive Wing. This had a small lounge area with a sofa and a big flatscreen TV, a fairly compact bathroom and a larger bedroom area with another big TV. All very comfortable and clean.

Breakfast was excellent - a nice cold buffet of cereals, fresh fruit, cheese, ham, yogurts, juices etc but, refreshingly, no heaps of cooked eggs, bacon and sausages sitting on hotplates for hours on end. Instead you could order hot breakfast dishes freshly cooked from the chef. I had eggs benedict which were perfect.

I didn't check out the leisure facilities but plan to next time!

My only complaint is that they charge for wifi - a hefty £12.95 per day or £4.95 per hour. This will definitely influence my decision on whether to stay here more regularly.

This was formerly the Quality Hotel right on top of junc 10 M6. Holiday inn have totally refurbed it and opened in Jan 2012. We got an incredible opening offer of B&B with free wifi and late check out for only £35 on a Saturday night so it would be difficult to knock the place at that price. Anyhow the whole place has been refurbed up to normal Holiday inn standards and everything was fine on our stay the room was spotless and everything worked. We used the pool which was small but as there was only us in it that was not a problem. The breakfast was excellent and everything you would expect was provided. The staff were polite and helpful. The location was great with everything you could possibly want within a 15 min drive inc , supermarkets, restaurants, pubs, cinemas, and zoo's.

I have stayed at the holiday inn Walsall several times since it reopened. It has been refurbished throughout to a high standard. The staff, whilst new and still learning their duties have been polite, friendly and efficient.

The rooms are clean, modern and comfortable. The executive rooms include a separate sitting area. There is good quality wifi. There is a small but well appointed fitness centre with splash pool and sauna. There is ample free parking.

The restaurant is very good, good service and tasty, fresh food for both breakfast and dinner. there is a bar and pool table.
