Weekend stay in Birmingham
Good location and easy public transport into the city centre for a busy December weekend. Very friendly staff, easy parking and a good price. We chose the superior room so weren't in the ground floor motel style rooms, although we only used the hotel for sleeping.

This is a very dated hotel, the rooms are like chalets outside. It reminded me of the motels in America on CSI, the chain was broken on the front door which gave me anxiety all night. The decor and furniture inside is like walking into the 70's, i wouldnt even call this a hotel it's chalets like at Butlins, but worse. The only positive is that it was clean, there were stains on the pillow cases though.

The hotel is very cheap, but that comes at the cost of cleanliness—it’s not clean at all. Worse, I witnessed the manager being openly racist to another guest, telling him to “go back to the streets,” swearing at him, and using incredibly foul language. It was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had in a hotel.

Out Dated Very Rundown.
Booked this room for my Husband as a place to stay after a long physical days work & in the area of his next job in the city he next day. On arrival the outside appearance was just awful looked like it had been closed down. The surrounding area also was very run down. The rooms & the whole property is incredibly outdated & rundown. Somthing from.the 70s The armchair by the bed very stained & dirty. Put a house towel on it to sit on. The wall light was broken & hanging by its wiring. I fix this myself for my own safety. The bath panel was water dameged & falling apart. Heated towel rail not working. The curtains were discussing stained & dirty both sides. Found a old earring on the floor & lots of rubbish under the bed. The only good thing was the bed sheets & pillows were clean & the bath towels. The Bar was a joke no beer pumps working only bottles & cans of drink in a very boring well lit room. I had people staying next to my room smoking Canabis & could smell it in my room all night. The Hotel is open to anyone to wonder aroun off the street felt very unsafe at night. Cooked English Breakfast was OK with the 6 standard item & a good selection of cereals & juices. Never saw a soul & never saw a menber of staff. Definitely would not stay here again & would not recommend.
