Hotels near Dudley Port, Sandwell District

Enjoyable stay with helpful staff beforehand, taking care of my bags for a couple of days before we arrived. Close to some fast food joints and the motorway. Also some grassy areas to walk the dog. Just one thing - make sure you register your car with the hotel's system. I had driven 400 miles and was not aware of a parking system (okay, I live in a remote part of Scotland that doesn't charge for parking). Staff never mentioned it either, but they were kinda busy between serving drinks and registering guests. Got a bill for £100 which I was not impressed with (finally reduced to £20 after an appeal - which failed, despite me confirming I was a resident at the premises).

Although there was a wedding downstairs there was no noise

Very nice hotel, clean and tidy, breakfast is not bad

Let me start by saying I usually stay at The Village hotel but decided to give this one a try. This hotel as air con, the Village hotel does not. The location is great just off the M5, everything is easily accessible I booked a twin room, the beds were so comfortable as you would expect with a Mercure hotel. The room was decorated to a high standard and had everything you need to be comfortable. The only negative which might affect some people's stay is the bathroom, it has a mixer shower so the pressure of the water was very weak. I did speak to reception who informed me that in the near future this will be changed. The breakfast was delicious, if you want poached eggs just ask, they are happy to please. This is my now place to stay when visiting family in the midlands. Shout out to Gerry on reception who goes out of her way to make sure you have the best stay, she is a superstar! FYI in the Privilege room- you get a mini fridge and bottled water/juices and a modern shower rather than a mixer tap shower

I didn’t get the room I booked and paid for. I was travelling with my family, 2 of my sons have autism and I booked a suite with 5bedrooms so they could have a bedroom each and the rest of the family could be together. Also the suite had a lounge where we could sit as a family and my sons could have the routines we have at home. However we were moved to a different suite and I was advised that the room I had selected was being used on a long term rent and I couldn’t have it. This caused awful issues for my children and me to have to stay up all night to monitor them. There wasn’t any managers around to discuss the matter with and the service from the receptionist was awful. Just kept saying it will not be possible. I showed him my booking and explained why I needed the room I had booked and he just didn’t seem to care. The whole situation was just really upsetting. The rooms were clean enough, the showers were dreadful and there wasn’t enough crockery for everyone to have a drink or something to eat. The road noises were so loud at night even if I managed to go to bed I don’t think I would of slept! All night party went on the din of music played for most of the night. The suite we stayed in didn’t have a lounge or table facilities for my children to eat at. I have called the hotel daily since my stay and no manger will speak to me about my complaint or possible refund absolutely terrible customer service! The worst I’ve ever experienced! Wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anybody, save your money book somewhere else and probably cheaper for better!!

I wrote the following email to the hotel upon check out, (14 days ago and no response) We booked a family room, as we had our little boy with us he is 4 and he could not reach the sink, you may like to consider in offering a child’s step when selling it as a family room so they can reach the sink and climb into bath. The shower curtain was not very clean and I didn’t feel comfortable when it was sticking to my skin whilst showering. See attached photo. There was no information given or provided in the room about the Wi-Fi. There was no TV guide on the television. No fridge in the room. One toilet roll for a family of three. No air conditioning We were notified that the swimming pool was closed which was disappointing but at least notified even though it didn’t reflect in the price. Breakfast was Luke warm buffet style so disappointing. The housekeeper knocked the door at 8.30am when we hadn’t checked out. I would like to mention we stayed at The Marriot in the centre of Birmingham on Tuesday night and this was a much better experience. All in all, it was a very disappointed stay.

I wasn't really sure what to expect when I booked a family room at the Lucarelli Inn. Turns out, I had found a winner. The Lucarelli is a huge, popular Italian restaurant with rooms upstairs. It's very well located near the New Square shopping development with a multitude of shops and restaurants. There is a lot of parking available at the hotel. We were checked in efficiently by a friendly young lady, I was impressed with the early check in time. We turned up soon after 12 and the room was ready. It was advertised as a double and a single but the double was huge - basically 2 single beds together. The wifi worked well, toiletries and coffee / tea was plentiful, the tv was good and everything was clean. If I was looking with a critical eye I would think the room was a little dated, but it was comfortable, well located, quiet - what's not to love?! I would stay here again without hesitation.

The room is relatively clean, very good, quiet, there is a restaurant, the breakfast in the restaurant is also affordable, I recommend everyone to stay. The ceiling of the room is also good, the trash can also have plastic bags.

My husband is disabled and when asked if he had any special requirements, when booking, he said he was disabled. So they accepted the booking and took the money (for 2 nights) On arrival we given a 2nd floor room which was fine until we were told the lift wasn't working. My poor husband had to literally drag himself up 2 floors and I had to drag the luggage (we have a lot because of my husband's disabilities) I am very grateful to the young men who helped me when I almost fell backwards down the stairs and they took the luggage for us but there was no offer of help from staff! When I asked if there was a ground floor room I was told no. I asked how long the lift had been out of order and I was told ”For a long time.” When I said they shouldn't have taken our money knowing about my husband and the lift the receptionist said there would be a room on the ground floor today (the 2nd day) but not until 12 o'clock. We will be out but we will see what happens when we get back later today. The 1 star rating is for the clean room. Nowhere for breakfast, they've stopped that!!! 😤

What a fabulous experience at this Holiday Inn Express! From the moment we entered we were welcomed with cheery staff who were always smiling and only too happy to help. The Hotel is very clean! Obviously the carpet will have some marks but you can see that they have gone to great lengths to try and remove these. Our room was so clean. The bed linen was pure white and the towels were almost new and very clean and fluffy. (The only downside are the room doors) As the rooms all have to have fire doors it is a little stressful every time a door has to be slammed shut! Be it morning, noon or night there is no option but to slam the door as it doesn't lock otherwise (Room 131 which I did report) Breakfast was all you would need and different options to accommodate everyone. I am Coeliac and was given GF cereal and GF bread toasted separately in the kitchen and covered in cling film to bring to the table obviously reducing the cross contamination issue. What a great relief! My only criticism would be how long it takes to order food through the day, this takes a while and reduces the availability of staff to serve from the bar, but not a biggie. Would definitely recommend this place and highly commend the staff for such wonderful Customer Service obviously guided by good Management.
