National Forest, England hotel rooms at the Independent

"about 10 mins to walk to resorts world, 20 mins to NEC depending on the hall! alhtough part of this is an isolated dark walk if walking alone at night. Hotel clean and friendly, only really used the gym- small but sufficient for a session. I would use it again."

"Room and overall hotel was clean, love the fact that you are able to regulate the temperature in the room. Breakfast was edible.Staff was helpful especially the receptionist Michael, 100%. There was at one point we were being racially profile, once we informed the manager she stated that she would deal with the situation. Have no idea of the outcome. We are not going to make that incident cloud our judgment. We/I will return. Wi-Fi signal was good."

"Fantastic hotel. Will stay again! "

"Friendly and efficient staff. Amazing water pressure. Quiet. Very comfy bed & pillows and fluffy towels. "

"Good wifi, approachable staff, the room was not very clean, the floor was very dusty and others peoples things left under sofas and beds. Bed nice, bathroom clean and nice toiletries available. "

"The worst 4 star hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The room was okay but the lift wasn’t working. The shower in the morning was lukewarm even when running for over 5 minutes. The tv didn’t properly work as couldn’t view the guide! Avoid!"
