The hotel had a fantastic location close to all the Ironbridge attractions and is nicely designed. The rooms offered great views, but the lack of an extractor fan in the bathroom was a bit inconvenient. The service could be better as there were minimal staff members around, making things a bit slower. Overall, it was a decent stay with good value for money, though there are some areas for improvement.
