Plus points :-
Great central location - 15 minute walk to City Centre
Secure car parking on site (£4.50 per 24 hours)
Excellent value for money - my wife & I paid £44 per room per night for a double room at the weekend & £59 mid week ( booked via 'laterooms.com' )
Room was clean and a reasonable size
Choice of Bangladeshi / Indian / Thai restaurants right on the doorstep, as well as a convenience store and a 'no frills' cafe (if you prefer a cheaper, but still very good, breakfast).
Terrific views over the City, if you are fortunate enough to secure a room fairly high up on the City Centre (Cathedral) side.
Minus points :-
Despite requesting a non-smoking room - previous occupant had obviously been smoking - smell was immediately evident upon entering.
Bed was not very comfortable - mattress was in need of renewing and the pillows were were quite firm (I ended up with a stiff neck after three nights)
BBC News 24 and Sky News, together with BBC Radio 1 & 2 etc are not provided as part of the standard package. These are all 'free to view' channels - how can the hotel charge you to watch / listen to, basic 'free' channels ??
We were charged for two additional breakfasts when we checked out - no problem with that - mistakes happen - but it was the attitude of the male receptionist that annoyed me - with regard to his NVC's - he might as well have stated "you are a liar" to my wife, when she pointed out that we hadn't taken breakfast one morning. Definitely short of some 'customer skills' training - took the edge off our stay - and and let down his colleagues, who were otherwise very good ........
Summary :-
Very good value compared to Premier Inns / Travelodges etc - At the prices charged, I would return to this hotel and would recommend it to my colleagues / friends.

Pros:
Guest room good, large, well presented, and with useful desk.
Central location, with several choices of restaurant and a convenience store across the road.
Functions manager, odd-job man, and serving staff very friendly and helpful.
Refreshments provided during function were very good value.


Cons:
Reception staff need better training and could have been friendlier.
Not all information was passed on between departments leading to some confusion.
Carpark not obvious or easy to find.
Hot buffet breakfast removed one hour before advertised closing times, and cooks did not respond to calls - although once a member of the serving staff was tracked down this issue was resolved.
Bar closed quite early on Friday and Saturday nights considering the number of guests.
Wi-fi in public areas does not allow non-web traffic which is an issue for those on business trying to access corporate intranets.

Overall:
Quite a good hotel which has improved on its service since 2010 and seems intent on continuing improvements. I'd be happy to stay there again.

i regularly visit Coventry with business and have stayed at this hotel at least ten times. The staff are always very good and the restaurant has recently changed and is good reasonably priced.

If one likes indian food there are good examples nearby.

Car parking is on-sight and only £4.50 24hrs
