6/10 Good

Comfortable Stay.

Hotel is perfectly adequate for a short stay. Clean, comfortable and staff are helpful. Unfortunately mobile reception is poor if you are in a lower level room.

Just as good as 5 yrs ago!

Great to stay here again after 5 yrs! Still v comfortable and convenient on the edge of Birmingham. Good car park, good buses into centre, and a great breakfast. We’ll be back.

Overnight accommodation for business trip.

One night stay, good night sleep in comfy bed, room is a good size, clean and tidy but a bit dated. Staff are polite and welcoming, restaurant serves good food and cold beer. I would stay at this hotel again if working on the area.

Not great. Small but expensive rooms. The food at the restaurant is horrific, especially giving the price. Definitely will not be stopping here again

it was a pleasant stay, the room was clean, staff were friendly, good check out time.
Melissa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Quiet & decent nights sleep.

Set within a decent looking neighbourhood & a huge car park, free as long as you enter reg details. Room was really clean & just right for a nights stay. Initially thought no tea/coffee making facilities but found them nestled in a cupboard. Decent pressure for shower. Was a little warm but felt couldn’t leave window open overnight as on ground floor with no retainer. That said a decent nights sleep & would recommend.
Julie, 1-night trip

jane, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Same suite as before. The gym was a converted room with some dumbells, a rowing machine and an old treadmill but it got the job done. Good night's sleep. Fantastic shower more akin to a water massage and a good breakfast to start the day.
Mike, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Decent one night stay

One night business stay Staff: Polite and Friendly Room: + Spacious, clean, comfortable bed. - No fan in bathroom - No thermostat room control - No air con - Heating off (mild weather so wasn’t much of a problem - Shower ok, hot but low pressure - Walls paper thin, could hear noisy neighbours talking and had to wear earplugs to sleep well Restaurant: + Good, prompt service + Food ok, main was cooked fresh, starter was reheated - Moved tables as first was dirty Location: + In a quiet leafy housing estate Overall: 3/5 stars would probably stay here again if I was in the area and my first choices were unavailable.

Lovely staff. Some of the rooms could do with a little attention (beside lights and curtain repair) but overall a lovely friendly hotel. Would stay again and would recommend to others.

Lovely lobby area. Nice suite room though the "king" bed was two singles pushed together which left a delve in the middle. Shower was not great. Breakfast was pretty good and parking was ample
