Enjoyed our stay here whilst visiting family in Birmingham. Parking was easy and free. Room was very spacious with ample sleeping space. No irons in the rooms however there was an ironing room with a an iron and ironing board. Trouser presses are installed in the rooms. Overall we enjoyed our stay, check-in and out was effortless. Will definitely consider again.

No reservation upon arrival
I booked my room through Hotels.com but when I arrived at the hotel after a 4.5 Hr drive the hotels didn't have a reservation for me. I showed my booking reservation etc. The lady behind reception dealt with this very well and with help from a colleague managed to arrange a room for myself, even thought they were fully booked. The rest of the hotel did feel quite dated but kept very clean. The Breakfast was a buffet type and was as expected.

The hotel was adequate for a room for one night, it's definitely in need of an update/refresh. The bath was stained and looked dirty (it wasn't actually dirty, just worn/scratched), some of the sealant was mouldy and when we arrived, I was informed that the attached pub/ restaurant weren't serving food, therefore if myself and my children wanted to eat we would have to order a takeaway from a food app. Breakfast was nice the following morning, lots of choice.

Nothing was too much trouble for any member of staff who all would go out of their way to accommodate any requests. The room was neat and tidy with all the usual facilities for hotels of this type. Also the food was excellent from the fresh and plentiful breakfasts to the home-cooked cuisine on offer in the Oak Bar in the evenings. Parking was plentiful and the location is near to major transport links. The hotel is set within a nice, quiet residential area which was ideal for my needs as I was able to read documentation and write reports in my room. I will definitely stay there again if my work takes me back to the north Birmingham area. An excellent stay and I heartily recommend it!
