Advantages: Its close to the M6 and the Station so you can get away QUICK
Disadvantages: Blimey to many

...I have lived in stafford for 12 years, and some people I have met have said they quite liked it hear. Stafford is "pleasantville" and its sucks the life out from you. If you want population figures, and basic data i suggest you google stafford , its all there . This is really a review of what it feels like to live here Going out : Stafford has 1 little cinema which shows the usual blockbusters and thats it, it has NO real live music venue , yes there are loads of pubs that have Nearvana , or the Bone roses , or best yet the Jones ( the smiths tribute band) but no real venue. The Local youth seem to spend there time trying mug people or hanging around outside Mcdonalds. There is a tiny park in the town which caters fo the over 60s, but NO skate park in the town, and really not a great deal for the young or infact the 20-50 age... Read review

Advantages: Nice rooms, friendly service, good food
Disadvantages: Location might be noisy at the weekend

...INTRODUCTION Back in the UK again, I had some training courses to attend and so several of us from work got together to go on one in Staffordshire. Having found this hotel on the net, we all booked into it with eager anticipation of a night out before the course the next day. It wasn't to disappoint; amid all the banter, eating and drinking, I managed to keep my head and so present to you my experience of the hotel. LOCATION This is slap bang in the middle of Stafford town centre and so very handily located. It's only a five or ten minute walk from the train station. I ponced a lift and it wasn't hard to find once we got into the town centre and followed the directions. There are small signs pointing to the hotel which you follow, all the way round a winding road and finally into the hotel car park. THE ROOM... Read review

Advantages: Close to town centre,20 mins from alton towers
Disadvantages: None

...to choose from,and with alton towers being a mere 20 minute drive away it was perfect. It was called the north stafford hotel and it was situated opposite stoke on trent train station,which I imaging would be ideal for those arriving buy train. The hotel boasts 88 bedrooms and is one of many britannia hotels On arriving we parked our car in the car park outside the hotel were there was plenty of spaces to choose from,but my hubby was fretful of leaving his baby there all night but his mind was soon put at ease when we were told there was 24 hour cctv on the car park. Entering the hotel I was quite taken aback by how grand this hotel looked,it was very clean and the staff seemed pleasant. After checking in swiftly, we were given the option of a smoking/non smoking room,and told what times breakfast was served from in the morning... Read review

Advantages: Nice smell and shine
Disadvantages: It doesn't work...

...After recently buying some new straighteners, which went up to the terrifying heat of 190°C, I thought it would be a good idea to purchase some kind of protection spray for my hair. I wanted to try and minimise the damage done to my hair by the straighteners, as no matter what the manufacturers say, there’s no possible way that using ceramics is actually good for your hair. Browsing in Boots, I decided upon the Lee Stafford Poker Straight Flat Iron Protection Shine Mist for £4.99. This decision was based upon it being a nice smelling product and the only other one that was anything like what I wanted was a Charles Worthington product, and I hate Charles Worthington products. *** The Packaging *** For me, I really couldn’t give two hoots about what
