Sadly Brittania Hotels have recently taken over the lovely historic Midland Hotel in Bradford. I’ve stayed there on a number occasions and although a little tired in places a great place to stay. The Midland Hotel was always my hotel of choice when staying in West Yorkshire often at a far better price than staying at some of the chain hotels in Leeds. Very sad to see this historic building with its impressive interior staircases, ballrooms etc become part of the Brittania group.North Stafford Hotel, Stoke-on-Trent
I have not stayed yet but was considering during a forthcoming Eurailpass.
However having read TripAdvisor reviews and also Internet commentary that 'Brittania Hotels is the lowest ranked hotel chain in England' or similar, I decided against it and booked elsewhere, though further from the railway station.
What is 'so bad' about this chain, given the North Stafford looks to be (at least from exterior photos) an attractive heritage building?
Surely it should be a candidate to be renovated given its ideal location? Or is this chain just not interested?
Has anyone stayed at the North Stafford Hotel - are the comments above fair?
