Roman Way Hotel A5 Cannock recensioner

Avoid this hotel. It’s only for the boat people. The illegal boat people. Security on site beating people up for filming the outside of the building. Absolute money grappling scum bags own this hotel. How dare you close to the public and only welcome the illegals. I seriously hope no one ever uses you again and you go bankrupt. I hope it was worth it

Welcomed by yellow signs and buckets! Smell was disgusting! Hotel is run down, dated lacks any thing that resembles a hotel! Rooms are vile, curtains hanging off!!! Mix mash of furniture! Thank fully the hotel bar and restaurant is closed because you would not want to eat or drink anything that has been sat in this building!. Due to conference in Birmingham all Hotels in and around the area are full so unable to move! If you ever book here pleasexomeby car incase you need to go further out to find a hotel with even the basic standards. Hotke Should be shut down

We booked this just for one night to meet with relatives in the area. For somewhere to sleep for a night it was by far the cheapest option. I was a bit nervous after reading all the terrible reviews, but our room was actually very nice, clean and well presented. The reception are is lovely and the lady on reception gave us a very friendly welcome. The bed was comfortable and once I got the radiator on it was warm and cosy.

Great value hotel with very helpful staff. Stayed on Saturday night to attend a family gathering. We had accidentally made our booking for the wrong dates but that was no problem as the receptionist cancelled and gave us rooms for the night at a great rate. The room was basic but very comfortable with a good bed. Only came with 2 pillows but I asked the night concierge and he brought another to my room straightaway. I would definitely stay again

Stayed at the Roman Way for 2 nights after finding my original accommodation elsewhere wasn’t up to scratch. I needed somewhere affordable at very short notice, close to where I was based for the next few days and with parking. The pictures on TripAdvisor helped. Like a lot of hotels that were repurposed in the last few years and are returning to being open to the public, it will take time for this hotel to get back to its former self. At the time I stayed the Roman Way didn’t have an on-site restaurant or bar and was offering rooms only. This was made clear when booking and I’d done some research to see there were options in a relatively short distance for food and drink. This suited me as I usually go out and about when staying in hotels. I’ve stayed in a fair few hotels due to working away from home and the Roman Way would rank with some of the best in its class, which I’ve stayed in. The reception, corridors and outside areas were in a well maintained state. My room was a decent size and ideal for a solo traveller. Very clean and had everything I needed. The free WiFi worked very well. There was a TV in the room and space to work on a laptop. There wasn’t a kettle in the room, however there were tea and coffee making facilities in a room next to reception as well as bottled water and juice in a fridge. I don’t tend to drink tea and coffee so this didn’t bother me but there was ample provided. There was also a TV in this room. Reception is manned 24 hours. Every member of staff made conversation. The chap who checked me in and was working the evening shift on 23rd and 24th July was very helpful and gave me directions for the nearest supermarket. The room was a pleasant temperature and the hotel is set back enough from the main road for road noise to not be an issue. I slept pretty well. I’d recommend staying and would hope the hotel is back to offering what it did a few years ago in the near future. It has a lot of potential as photos of weddings and conferences in the past show.

Everything about this hotel was bad. At midnight there was a fire alarm go off and nobody bothered to move, there was one person on the desk as if no alarm going off, I was the only person in the carpark. Dogs poo in the coffee lounge, no kettles in the room and the rooms are a long distance from the coffee lounge.

RUN AWAY!!! Absolutely the most disgusting, dirtiest place I have ever seen. I wonder how they are allowed to operate as a hotel. Dead and live bugs around, creepy crawlers, including a huge spider. I actually wondered if sleeping in the car was not a better idea. We ended up there in desperation (our reservation elsewhere was cancelled and there this was the first available place we found.) The sheets and towels were clean (thank goodness!) but that was it. No toiletries. Empty soap dispenser in the bathroom. Not even enough toilet paper to use the bathroom. I would not have believed it if I had not seen it in person.

This hotel was built in the 70’s/80’s and it hasn’t been updated since. Its decor is awful, noise comes through from every wall. They seem to allow anyone to stay there who willingly make noise all through the night and cause trouble. The road is the main A5 and you can hear all the traffic, there is a car garage and a 24 hour transport cafe either side. Highly recommend going to the Premier Inn, or The Barnes, both a big improvement on The Roman Way.

Very tired hotel; we only wanted a cheap place to sleep and shower mid-journey and it was convenient for our needs just off the M6. We were there less than 11 hours. Fortunately we were not needing to eat or drink, as there is no provision or facilities anymore. There’s a big petrol station just up the road and a Beefeater. It wasn’t well signposted and the dim lighting made it look closed. I’m not sure I would have stopped if travelling alone. Fortunately we’d brought our own toiletries, hairdryer etc. You pay your money, your take your choice… it’s cheap and near the motorway.

Stayed here and was very comfortable. The website is very clear that there is no food or drinks available so all the reviews saying they where unaware need to just read the information. I will be back again!

What a "hotel". This place is just like one of those yucky motels you see in American TV shows and films. I half expected Norman Bates to jump out of the shower in the one room we saw. There are zero facilities here. Not even a vending machine that we could see. No bar, no restaurant, no food at all - but don't worry, they have a basket of take out menus and they can provide cups should you wish to sit in a silent reception area and drink your own booze you've purchased from a supermarket 😂 After the fury of discovering the Roman way Hotel is in fact not a hotel that we were paying a hotel price for, we then had room troubles. We booked a double, given a twin. Had to move rooms - OK, easy error. Our new room hadn't been cleaned (and for a while - it was gross) so off we toddled back to reception. On our several trips back and forth we did get to smell the disgusting stenches that filled each corridor. Somehow each corridor being worse than the one before it. Next we were upgraded to the bridal suite which was welcomed but it meant another aroma filled venture. Once getting in the bridal suite, things seemed better until actually spending 2 minutes in there. Put it this way, if this really was my wedding night and that had been our bedroom, we probably would have spent the night crying. Spiders and webs everywhere, dirty shower with a shower head that's so built up of limescale, the water doesn't come out properly, I found a few long dark hairs dotted around the bathroom - this was after returning from a few drinks at the local beefeater where we drowned our sorrows - none of which came from to either of us... Wrong colour. If we had been there for anything other than just a place to rest our heads, we would have moved elsewhere but we had an early start for the commonwealth games so just ****** it up for the night. That was a mistake.

Our disabled room was quite large with tea,coffee kettle tv etc, the beds are very comfortable, the bathroom has toiletries and several grab rails it was very clean. The carpet had seen better days but for the price we paid it was a acceptable. I’d have no problem staying here again.

Stayed here last night. Shabby but perfectly acceptable/ when I booked, I asked for a dog friendly room. There was absolutely no mention of an extra charge and even a personalised email to confirm the dogs were ok didn’t include information. When we checked in I was told to pay an extra £20. Whilst I have no issues with paying extra for dogs, it’s bad that this wasn’t mentioned until I turned up at the hotel!

Stayed here with work last month. Awful! Nothing like what is advertised. No bar or lounge open. Had to eat at a nearby pub which wasn’t the most ideal. Staff seemed stressed and not overly happy to be there. Wouldn’t stay again in a hurry.
