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.

Quick and friendly check-in. Staff had mad up the sofa- bed for my son, which was really nice. They ordered a taxi for us to go to the venue in town and were very informative when I asked questions. Room was very overpriced and smelled a bit musty. Mould in shower and stains on duvet. The window frames were dirty and the whole hotel is in dire need of renovation.
