We travelled some distance from Solihull to take afternoon tea at the hotel on a Groupon voucher, booked for 3.30 p.m. The guy manning reception showed us to our table, seating us in the Drawing Room, to accommodate my husband's disability, and made us a pot of tea. We then waited 35 minutes to actually get our tea! When I sought a member of staff, serving at a bar two rooms away, she informed me that our tea would arrive but they were busy serving other guests! When we did get our tea, with a fresh brew, as requested, it seemed we had been waiting while the young man we saw initially had prepared our food as well so hope he washed his hands between working at reception and making sandwiches. The hotel gave the impression it is struggling, with poor shabby decor and carpets, and the toilets very much in need of an urgent upgrade. Wouldn't want to stay there and if the idea of issuing Groupon vouchers was to attract more custom, they certainly failed as far as we were concerned, although the sandwiches and scone were very good, obviously bought cake less so.
