Breakfast was very good. We checked in very late so we didn’t get to have dinner. The room we stayed in was good and the bathroom spacious too. The hotel needs uplifting everywhere.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Reception area looked ok, and the first corridoor upstairs where i presume the bridal suits are, but after that, the place is falling appart. Room door didnt feel secure, handle/lock (one of those old hotel door handles with the key hole in the middle) was nearly falling off. Luckily there was a chain. Looked like all the furniture was bought off a car boot.

Good Value and comfortable

Really welcoming staff and attentive at the reception desk. The older parts of the hotel could do with some updates, but generally a pleasant stay. Good value and good value breakfast.

Dated, but comfortable

The hotel is located just outside West Brom, tucked down a side street away from traffic with a shop just across the way. There was plenty of parking in the secure car park. The room was slightly dated and seemed to be awaiting a refresh. Despite this, it was clean, warm (and not too hot), and had plenty of space. Staff were really friendly when we arrived, and continued to be attentive during our stay. Fresh towels were provided when required. Overall, a good place to stay, especially for the price.
