Decent stay for decent price
Very handy considering I had last minute trip to Swindon and didn't fancy the drive back to Birmingham at that time of night. Food was excellent and came quickly. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Overwhelming smell of paint didn't make for a great night's sleep but that would just be my luck that night. Overall I'd recommend this place though

Needs some maintenance
Lovely room but wifi didn't work, bedside lights didn't work so had to leave the bathroom light on to get around, toilet seat broken and precarious. Could have been brilliant if a little maintenence had been attended to.
