I had a mixed experience during my stay at this hotel. The location was convenient for exploring the town with easy access to pubs and restaurants, but the courtyard view from my room was marred by the extraction chimney from the kitchen. The service was friendly but seemed lacking in some areas. The dining experience was delightful with amazing sausages, although there was a mix-up with the booking. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement in various aspects.

My room overlooked the courtyard, which was fine, but the presence of the kitchen's extraction chimney was a downside. The room layout through passages to room 37 was a bit surprising, and the hot breakfast was not to my liking. It would have been better if the remotes were left in the rooms for convenience.

Service

The staff, although friendly, didn't seem very motivated to make improvements. However, they did try their best to help us with some room problems and were constantly trying to cope with the demands of all guests.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The warm rooms despite open windows could be uncomfortable, and the noise from the street cleaning and music until late at night was a downside. On the positive side, the service from the friendly and helpful staff was excellent. The central location was convenient for exploring, although some noise from the surroundings was noticeable. The dining options were described as both plentiful and tasty, but some aspects were criticized for being budget-conscious. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

The room I stayed in was warm despite having the windows open, and the noise from the front of the building was a bit disturbing. I wish I had a room overlooking the courtyard instead.

The hotel is centrally located in Lichfield, making it convenient for exploring the town. The rooms offer a charming touch with complimentary water and chocolates, although being close to a night club could impact light sleepers. The service is friendly and accommodating, resembling a cozy atmosphere like 'Fawlty Towers' but with a welcoming feel. The dining options provide excellent value for money with a diverse menu, though some may find the breakfast atmosphere a bit crowded. Overall, it's a great choice for those looking to experience the heart of Lichfield.
