"Hotel located 5-10 mins walk from Solihull town centre so convenient for plenty of places to eat / drink. Easy to find and sign posted from major roads. Car-parking was adequate - £10 a day and must register at reception. Hotel has a lot of conference rooms so seems to cater largely to corporate guests. Hotel reception was clean and modern but corridors were very untidy and didn’t really give a good impression - dirty glasses left outside doors to our rooms, bed linen piled in corners, trays with food left on corridor floors etc. Had 2 interconnected standard rooms. Room decor was modern and fairly well maintained. Comfy bed with plenty of pillows. Choice of teas / coffee / biscuits etc. Purposely booked rooms with air con due to heatwave - 1 room was fine, other had broken air con. Tried to phone reception but no answer so had to trek to reception several times after this was supposedly reset. Eventually given new rooms but manager who dealt with the issue was not very apologetic and no help was offered with luggage etc. Could be a much better hotel if care was taken with attention to tidiness of public areas and more attentive staff."

"The manor is very quiet, parking is free, and the canteen is pretty good!"

"the bathroom had a poo stain, and the bed was dirty lack of hygiene for crowne plaza."

"On arrival, you're greeted by a large open car park, which initially seems like a positive. However, as a hotel guest, you are required to pay for parking, which really should be included. As this is marketed as a gym hotel, I expected gym access to be part of the stay, but this is also charged as an additional fee. The large bar and grill attached to the hotel attracts a lot of rowdy behaviour, with people regularly arriving and leaving while intoxicated. Unfortunately, this creates an unsavoury atmosphere and reflects poorly on the hotel's image. My one-star rating is based solely on the room itself, which was not particularly clean. For example, there was dust and dirt behind the TV, and the cups had old tea stains. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel."

"Great location for a conference at the NEC. The grounds were lovely. Just with traffic noise from the motorways nearby."
