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.

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.

DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT STAYING HERE!

I started to write a long review and then gave up. Needless to say, we won't be coming back due to a number of reasons. From exceptionally poor management to bra pads lying about in reception, to being asked to leave as they'd allocated us the wrong room, this place is awful.
