“We Loved the hotel!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 June 2011

person found this review helpful

We booked last minute for a weekend night away. We got a really good last minute deal for cheeaper than a Travelodge / Premier Inn. Due to this we thought we wouldnt be getting that good of a room/hotel etc.

What id say is dont be fooled by the exterior of the hotel, yes it needs a good lick of paint from the outside and when your parking and your rooms are opposite you think you are staying in a motel.

Reception was friendly, effecient welcoming and polite. The bar staff ( all English might i add :) were also very friendly.

Our rooms were fab!!! assuming all the rooms were like it they were splotless clean, nicely decorated and have nice touches to them.
The TV had the same selection as you have on your freeview box at home so a reallly good choice instead of 1-5, sky news and a news channel you actually had variety of channels to choose from.

The bed was really comfy, nice spongy carpet, basically the facilites that you dont find with some of chain hotels and certainly not for lodging brands such as premier inn/ travelodge.

Overall really nice experience, excellant value for money and i would recommend this hotel to anyone

“Well Done Hannah”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2011

I have known this hotel for many years through business and can honestly say that Hannah and her staff are making it better and better. Still work to be done but from personal experience it's excellent value for money. My daughters and friends also stayed, and the rooms were comfortable and clean, hospitality great and most of the staff are brilliant. They hosted my mothers 90th party and the food, the service and quality was second to none, my mother was treated like royalty and that was on an evening when they had a wedding and hockey club occasion too. They even changed the menu at short notice to cater for people with special dietary requirements

“Useless”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2011

people found this review helpful

what a bad hotel, staff who are poor trained or just do not care and management who are only around to make money

Check in

Took over 10 mins with no smile or thank you, was given a key on a piece of tatty string with a hand written number, got to the room which is a long walk only to find another guest in there. so back to the desk given a new room with no apology

Rooms

Dirty and tired even though its a 'refurbished' room. Beds Saggy, linen ripped, bathroom towels dirty and grey. TV only shows 5 stations and expensive PPV, no high speed internet connection in rooms either. Also expect a long walk down very seedy looking and cold corridors to get to the rooms


Restaurant

expensive and poor service, staff would rather talk to other guests and colleagues than actually serve other customers, food is very basic and the daily specials is also very poor. The hotel also seems to have regular guests who are loud and rude and very off putting

Check out

Again poor, payment was incorrect and had to wait while they sorted it out adding an extra 15 mins, again no apology, when asked to speak to manager was told that she was not down yet and was promised that she would call, 3 days and no call was received, also emailed and no response

If you happen to find your selves in cannock keep looking there is better hotels within a 15 minute drive who offer much more at the same sort of price

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 March 2011

The Roman Way is very clean and tidy, the staff are very wonderful and very helpful and they couldnt of done anything more for me.I would most definatley recommend this hotel to friends, colleagues and family. The mangement staff were also very helpful and the recpetion team were very smart and welcoming and made it feel like home for me. The food was lovely and service was very good ( i would recommend the soup bread bowl) i have enjoyed my two month stay here and would definatley return.
