Cheadle Hotels with Breakfast

I discovered this hidden gem by accident. I had almost given up on finding a hotel that was close enough to the airport as well as to local shopping and had ac. There are only two things I have a problem with in regards to this place. Please note there is not an elevator or lift as the UK states. The other draw back is there is no way to shield the light in the bathroom area. It is hard to describe. There is a beautiful glass door to the right and left in the bath area with a sink in the middle of the space. If one has to get up to use the facilities the light being turned on glares in the face of the other one in bed. One other note is to be careful when closing the glass door. When I closed the door, my finger got closed in the door and it actually cut my finger below the cuticle. After 3 days, my finger is blue and sore. While the hotel is directly under the local airport's flight pattern, we never heard planes unless we were outside. The grounds are astounding as is the building itself. Make sure to check out the artwork throughout the place. If you like hidden staircases, watch out. The place appears to be kid friendly. There is a fabulous playground adjacent to the property. Make sure to purchase duck food for the locals. The bar, while somewhat limited in its offerings, was suitable for us. As to cost, the prices were comparable if not better than other bars/pubs we have visited.. We did not dine in the restaurant, but from what I say, the food looked amazing. The young man working reception was so very nice to help with our luggage as well as anything else we may have needed. The young ladies working in the bar were also very nice. In fact, they were so embarrassed by my asking to take their photo. They said no one had ever asked to take their photo.

I have stayed here a few times for work and will definitely come back. The staff are helpful, the food in the pub is great and i love that there is a Starbucks in the lobby! A friend and I walked from the office to the hotel as it's the closest coffee place we knew of. Comfy bed and nice hot showers. The only downside is that the hotel is in a flight path so planes are constantly coming over the hotel and it's LOUD!

We are (or now, were) frequent users of Premier Inn, and had booked a room here for a night before an early flight in the morning. We arrived around 10pm and found ourselves allocated a room at the far end of the hotel and up a floor, fine. Unfortunately the lift was out of order (not advertised until arrival), so my pregnant wife was stuck having to use the stairs. Not great, but not world-ending, we didn't expect this to be an issue so hadn't specified on the booking that one of us was pregnant. Once we got to the room we were instantly hit by a wall of heat (this was early February, looking back at the weather for that day the high was 13C, low 5C) - the heating controller was reading almost 30C, and had a nice label on it to inform you that it could not cool down the room. Someone had left a radiator on full blast which wasn't controlled by the heating controls. There is no air-con available at this hotel, and the windows open perhaps 2 inches if being generous. There was no way to cool this room to an appropriate temperature for sleeping in the time available to us. There's also no phone in the room, so we had to lug our bags back to front desk to request a habitable room. To paraphrase the conversation; 'tough potatoes, the hotel is fully booked, I can't or won't do anything to help, here's a business card with some details if you want to complain online. Good night guarantee? That doesn't exist post-covid.' Luckily I managed to find a nicer (albeit pricier) hotel across the road with last minute availability, so we went over to Oddfellows for an actual good night's sleep and some hospitality. As Premier Inn took our money up-front and then failed to fulfill their end of the bargain, we've been pursuing a refund - their marketing would make you believe this is easy. However, they argue that as the hotel does not have air conditioning, they are not at fault - despite it being their heating which caused the issue, and their choice to limit your ability to cool the room. So we're having to go through the credit card company for a chargeback. Other than all of the above - it's a standard premier inn room in a tired building. You hope you know what you're getting if you go for it.
