We had a 7 night stay here . We booked because of its proximity to a care home we were visiting and to be honest were not expecting much . BUT we were proven wrong . On entering via the nicely presented entrance lounge with easy chairs and TV we were greeted by a very nice friendly female receptionist. The bedroom it’s clear from the decor and colour scheme this was a Premier Inn ,in its former life and a bonus is they also have Hypnos beds so we did indeed enjoy a good comfortable nights sleep . The room and bathroom were immaculately clean . There is a kettle and like Premier they leave tea ,coffee milk for your use . You can get an iron and board from reception if you need . This is an older building situated off a busy main road so we wondered about noise , honestly we heard nothing and had no disruptions to our sleep from outside noise or from room to room ,sound proofing is doing it’s job . There is a pub attached where you can eat and drink and the whole area there are plenty of varying cafes ,restaurants takeaways shops and an Asda all walkable so plenty of choice and something to occupy you shopping wise . Good bus routes to Solihull or Birmingham center. There is good free off road parking . Now the best bit ! The staff , we did not meet everyone but those we did meet were professional whilst be being friendly and accommodating and just that little bit extra which makes a difference . The Manageress A blonde female receptionist and male during late evening time. The maintenance man and his department . And Mary our room lady who does a fantastic job always with a Smile and in Great Style !!! So a big Thank You to all . This is an older building and yes it’s tired around the edges in places ,but aren’t we all at a certain age I know I am ! So bear that in mind but cleanliness is not compromised ,this a smaller exceptionally well run little place ,we wish you all the best for the future and hope this little GEM remains . Again thanks for a great stay ,will definitely be back , The English couple from Greece.
