National Forest, England hotel rooms at the Independent

"All was good but tv news very bad. BBC only no. Why no sky or GB news."

"Hotels nice, room was so nice and bed was very compfy but the lady who booked me in didnt know what she was doing, she asked me if i wanted a bath with shower or walk in shower, i asked for a walk in shower instead gave me the bath. The room she out us in was 358 far from the esclators next to a fire exit 2 long corridor where the light did not come on for a few seconds in the second corridor, so walking in the dark for a couple steps which is not great for ladies walking back on there own or if they have had a drink. For what i paid i didnt bother complain or ask to be moved as room itself is nice. "

"Nice spacious room , helpful pleasant staff , convenient location and car park on site. "

"Another brilliant stay here at the Orchard. Great room - lovely comfortable bed and very quiet. "

"Nice spacious room and a comfy bed and pillows. "

"The phone number for the hostel on Google didn't pick up. The phone number on the email confirmation was wrong. I told the reception when I arrived and she seemed so disinterested is was almost funny. The google maps entry for this hostel notes there is parking, but there isn't. The receptionist recommended parking nearby which had a 4 hour limit, I'm not sure if she's aware people stay overnight in hotels. The communal bathrooms were dirty with loo roll everywhere. The rail on the bunk bed was snapped off and had been re secured with cable ties, so it's a matter of time before someone falls off the top bunk. A piece of glass was missing from the window. "

"Hotel a bit tired. But staff were excellent and the restaurant food remarkably good. "

"Quick easy check in. Friendly staff. Plenty of room in the car park when we arrived mid afternoon on a Saturday. Nice room. Quite small bathroom but adequate. Good location for resort world, NEC and train station. "

"The stay was very pleasant, however the breakfast arrangements need to be overhauled. The very personal ordering service is excellent, but the wait( in our case 38mins) for the hot food to arrived is unnecessary. Thankfully we were in no rush so the wait wasn’t too much of a problem. However, on previous occasions when on a business trip I’ve had to leave before the food arrived so I could attend a morning meeting on time. Please look at changing the breakfast arrangements as many of my colleagues refuse to stay at this hotel for this very reason. "
