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.

Hotel on arrival looked great ,Friendly staff. Our room was very dated 1980s feel and two single beds pushed together to make a double not ideal as kept falling into the gap. Mattresses very hard too Got woken very early both days of stay .. contractors leaving for work etc A few tweaks and a lower price point would make this hotel better

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.

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.

Nice friendly hotel

Stayed for 1 night to attend a conference. Room was very large and warm with proper radiators so it was easy to control the temperature. Breakfast was fine not like a large chain hotel breakfast but good enough

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

Everything was perfect. I had the exam next day so I was worried before booking but it's a very quiet hotel with friendly staff. No complaints, will love to stay again if I come to Birmingham.
