Yardley Manor Hotel

the staff were very helpful and were doing as much as possible to make our stay pleasant

lots of surprise extra charges ie parking,breakfast, and the manager was like the scarlet Pipernel to get hold of the breakfast room like a building site

Booked as a double room, upon arrival we were told it was a compact double. This basically meant it was a really small room with a double bed push against the wall. It did however have a very small ensuite. The room however, was clean as was the bedding and bathroom. The TV although small was wall mounted and provided a number of channels. Also upon arrival we were told that breakfast had been cancelled due to the Corona Virus? Our room price was suppose to include a continental breakfast (with potential to up grade to a cooked one) no real apology or refund was offered - just an insistence to take a pre-authorised £50 credit card transaction for.... an incidental or damages?

The whole building was tired, with propped open fire doors and a lack lustre welcome upon arrival. We saw or heard no other guests and no one was around when we left in the morning. It was neither a bad nor great stay - overall unwelcoming and tired. [and that included the staff member who checked us in]. We should have been offered some sort of breakfast even if it was on a tray in our room.
