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.

I started to write a long review and then gave up. Needless to say, we won't be coming back due to a number of reasons. From exceptionally poor management to bra pads lying about in reception, to being asked to leave as they'd allocated us the wrong room, this place is awful.

Clean. Quiet. Friendly staff. Very close to natural parks. Breakfasts lacked gluten free bread and cereal options and vegan hot food options although we were told they were usually available

2-night trip

8/10

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.

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.
