Could be better.
Room was a good size, but heating didn't work, the quilt was quite thin and no additional blankets in the room! Pillows soft! Wasn't a good night sleep! Restaurant was good in the evening, and breakfast in the morning great.

Getting Tired
The steak was great, the bed was comfy but this place is looking tired. The Pool and Spa are pretty poor with half the already small pool taken up with children's swimming lessons. Warning if your are travelling for business they say they don't have a VAT number so while they are charging you VAT there is no VAT number on anything.

Avoid family dining
The Hotel was lovely though the decor was a little tired. The pool was brilliant for the children and the staff very helpful. Where we were disappointed was the very limited children's menu this led to all three children selecting from the adult menu, even the youngest. The bill for the 5 of us was about double what we would usually pay and though there was nothing to complain about with the quality it was also not an exceptional meal either! I'd advise families to eat out for an evening meal. Breakfast on the other hand was reasonably priced.

Disappointed really.
The hotel initially is in pressure and when I arrived I was greeted nicely. When I got to the room I was disappointed. Dated unclean and just generally poor for a hotel where it is above £100 a night. I’m not sure if I was given a bad room due to staying one night or not. I had a terrible nights sleep and woke up multiple times in the night. This was supposed to be a nice evening for myself and partner but I left feeling unimpressed.

Ripped netting and condensed  windows

Staining on the bathroom side.

Disappointing.
Waited over an hour and 15 mins for dinner. After being seated, ordering and then questioning timings we were informed they were unexpectedly busy due to a 300 guest event taking place. Eventually due to travelling with our family we asked for the food to be brought to our room. On receipt it was cold to the touch. Front of house did arrange for a full refund of the costs of the food it must be said. Room itself was generally basic but little things like the chair was falling apart which left bits of leather and fabric on the floor. We regularly travel and stay around Tamworth but won’t be revisiting here unfortunately.
