Pros +
- Friendly, clean and great location for an overnight visit. Great evening meal and great value.Will stay again if in the area.
- Rooms were really nice, clean, modern, well equipped.
- Lovely hotel, really nice rooms and very friendly staff
Cons -
- N/A. Was only there for say 18 hours, most was spent either out or asleep
- It was raining ;-)
- When I arrive the car park was full. After a few laps of the car park I managed to squeeze in a space.When I got to the reception I was greeted a full on party and disco. A man asked me if I needed to check in ( I’m not sure if he was security for the event) then when to get a member of staff. A lady arrived and checked me in and apologised for the noise, apparently it was a big wedding reception in full flow. She said it won’t be on too late.I checked in to my room , thankfully I stopped to eat on my 3 hour journey as it appeared they the restaurant wasn’t available.I then sat in my room and listened to the music etc till 2am. I decided to travel down the night before my meeting to ensure I had a good night sleep .I was not notified of the wedding etc when I booked.

Yes better than expected. Good parking. Fresh rooms.
When we arrived we 2 of our 4 rooms were doubles not twins although I had booked twins the only one available. It was sorted out but we could have been put in a very difficult position if there were no twins had been left, this should not if happened. Breakfast wasn’t available till 8.30, although a Sunday, I expected it to at least from 8am. Breakfast was satisfactory, but items were not replenished quickly enough, eggs were over done, hard.
Good location. Nice room. Nice bar & restaurant.
Had a ground floor room & unfortunatelyroom above had very squeaky floor boards.
It was a clean, comfortable room and had a decent shower. There was quite harsh lighting which might not bother others. I have sensory sensitivity so I took out the main bulb and just had the vanity on instead of the bedside lamps.
It didn’t feel that secure. No code or key to get in so the outside door was open all day and night with no manned reception after hours. No safe meant I took all valuables when I went out. The fire alarm also tripped twice during the visit - the second time in the night.
Room: This was clean and bedding was comfortable and a good range of channels available on the TV. While WiFi was available I had no cause to use it.Breakfast: A good range of food and cereals available and good quality.Dinner: Due to a late arrival we did not dine. However, having done so on previous visits, the food was excellent, and friends that were already staying in the hotel assured me this was still assured me this was stillthe case
There was nothing to dislike at the Limes. Ample free parking and easy access to the motorways that were only a few miles away from the hotel.
I was not informed that the Hotel did not serve an evening meal on Sundays. However, our room (a little small) was warm, clean and comfortable, although only one seat was provided for two people. We ordered an Uber meal which arrived very quickly (Thai) and was very good. We were able to order draught beer at the bar. Very helpful and friendly lady staff member (Kelly). Bed was comfortable and bathroom spotless with a strong shower and white bath towels, soap from dispensers. Breakfast was serve yourself although I only wanted coffee, cereal and toast( charged). Full cooked breakfast could be made to order (at a charge). Pleasant grounds. We liked the place. Uber was very useful, taxi from Earlswood station and our meal.
No information about lack of Sunday dinner. One seat in bedroom. Room doors which banged shut.
As a regular Birmingham hospital visitor we are in search of somewhere regular to stay.The lady that greeted us when we came in (wedding planner) was absolutely wonderful. Kind, funny, courteous and welcoming. We had been stuck on the motorway for 6 hours as there was an accident and she was exactly the friendly face we needed The breakfast waitress, was on her own all morning, short spiky hair, but wonderful, funny, smiley and just lovely. Couldn't do enough to help.
We went for dinner in the restaurant, the bar maid /waitress. There were two. An older lady and a young girl. Older lady was lovely. The young bar maid was the rudest, most inconvenienced staff member I've seen in a long while. We approached the bar, after being in traffic for 6 hours starving and tired but still smiling and just happy to be getting a drink. Couldn't get a smile from her, couldn't get eye contact, felt like we should have gone somewhere else. She was blank, abrupt and not at all interested in making us feel welcome.Trouble is when it's like that you feel you can't ask for help or anything because you are already a problem.Based on her attitude we would not stay here again. I googled places to eat nearby, turns out there were many places we could have chosenThe shower in the room also didn't keep the temperature... Went hot and cold hot and cold
The whole experience could not be faulted. Staff were polite, friendly and professional. Room was amazing!Met 2 x receptionists who were efficient and personable.Sorry to leave!
There was nothing to dislike
The room was very clean and the staff were polite.
The walls are very thin. I has extremely noisy neighbours who unfortunately kept me up most of the night.
Location
We had booked 2 twins but ended up with 2 doubles. The staff were very good and and quickly converted a sofa to a bed in one room
Ample parking, quiet location. Breakfast was good and also evening meal.
Clean comfortable and welcoming
No true dislike but rooms a little tired
Location
Parked in the only place available due to an event (which was very noisy). It was a safe place which did not restrict access but it did not stop the owner and “safety guy” shouting at me to move. I said I would happily move if there was another space. They told me to park on the single track lane outside the hotel. It was only when the owner actually looked and accepted that I was safely parked that he said I could stay there, the Resturant was closed, and no room service, so I could not eat. I left after the first night (the hotel door was still locked at 8am, so couldn’t not speak to anyone. Still charged for both nights. No loo paper in en-suite. All very Faulty Towers, I couldn’t believe they were shouting at me for parking safely in a hotel car park that has parking!
Went for a wedding ,have been here a few times for various events over the years.
The room we stayed in 24 smelt musty and the plug in sink was blocked, no rail in bathroom near shower to put towel, to be fair the staff was very busy and did their best ,breakfast wasnt hot and had to wait ages for food to be topped up again.
Location
Over the Christmas holiday there was only tea and coffee available and no breakfast
Location
Mattress very cheap, sank and squeaked every time you moved!Carpet needed a good clean especially around the skirting boards.Shower sealant black.Was not informed that breakfast was not available in the restaurant ( I did appreciate it was Boxing Day morning) however the room was booked as B&B and as one of the occupants is diabetic the tray of cereal brought to the room the previous evening was not a breakfast option.
Staff was great, beautiful place and amazing room view, delicious food... only disappointed about toilet in our room. If not toilet problem we would have great time.
