Lovely welcome and very clean but the rooms were very small and everytime someone in the building use the toilet or shower the noise was umbearable. Also was not informed on parking fee of £6.00 per day and £15.00 per dog. Maybe this should be added to the description. The kitchen was being refurbed so there was no restaurant for the evening meal or cooked breakfast. On saying that the host was so friendly and helpful

One night stay was enough
Not brilliant from the start pay extra for parking pay extra for breakfast. Put on second floor which I could barely get up the stairs (no lift) no restaurant food unless ordered in takeaway. I couldn’t get down stairs for food so ate next days sandwiches. Snacks were available to pay for. Bed very uncomfortable for me

The staff are helpful and the rooms are basic but OK on a budget. Clean but has a bit of a musty smell. It's an old property with wooden floorboards and thin walls so you can hear everything. I could not get a good night's sleep and was woken up several times in the night. One morning I had no hot water. Would not stay there again.

Cheap Birmingham airport hotel with cheap attitude
Cheap rate booked on hotels.com. Turned up and they demanded £6.00 extra for parking, obviously to keep their online price low. Paid reasonable £5.00 for breakfast but breakfast consisted of cheap cellophane wrapped croissant and cereals and powdered coffee I could have had in my room. At least the milk was fresh!

Property was clean. Although not stated parking was charged per day. Shower had a leak in and room was tiny. We booked the biggest room and honestly it was ridiculously small. No storage space at all. Bed was extremely uncomfortable, was like sleeping on a brick. Staff were lovely though and it’s such ashame the stay wasn’t as pleasurable as we would have liked given the price point we could have paid an extra £10 and stayed in a premier inn. Seriously cannot fathom the price for such small rooms and the standard of the rooms.

A short one night stay for business. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. My room was a basic single room but ideal for a one night stop over. very clean although noisy with the boiler room below. An ideal location for the airport or NEC, with a nice town near by.
