Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a convenient location with amenities nearby, although there were noise issues from adjacent rooms. The rooms were not properly serviced initially, but the staff were welcoming. Dining options were better offsite at the nearby Toby Carvery. The hotel offers basic breakfast options. The overall value for money is debatable.
The hotel offers basic rooms with a comfortable bed and the usual coffee and tea amenities, but lacks a hairdryer. The rooms were very clean and fresh with a powerful shower for sore muscles. However, the bed was hard and not conducive to a good night's sleep, coupled with aged desk and heavily worn carpet. It is a budget-friendly option compared to nearby alternatives like Travelodge Birmingham airport.
The hotel offers clean, tidy, and well-presented rooms at a very reasonable price, with windows that open for added comfort during hot weather. Perfect for young couples or business travelers. The service was exceptional during my pleasant 3-month stay, though I found the room costs slightly high for its size. The location was convenient with nearby shops and restaurants, but noise from neighboring rooms was a downside. Dining at the Toby Carvery was excellent, offering a more satisfying option than the hotel's breakfast box.
The hotel provided exceptional service, especially with accommodating our needs, including those for kids. The rooms felt like a luxury experience with a very spacious bathroom and a peaceful location away from the main road. Ideal for young couples or business travelers, highly recommended.
The hotel rooms were comfortable and larger than expected, overlooking the car park, which was not a major issue. The ground-floor room, albeit small, had everything we needed. The service was welcoming, especially from Cherry and her trainee Amber, setting a positive tone for the stay. The location was adequate for businesses and dining options, though there were some concerns about security. The dining experience was satisfactory, with room for improvement in food quality. Overall, a decent stay for the price paid.
