Amazing Stay Near the Tram!

off-street parkingconvenient tramgarden barsunny garden
I loved the off-street parking. It was first-come, first-served. The location is super close to the Edgbaston Village Tram, so getting into the city center was easy. The garden area had a garden bar. It was a good surprise. I enjoyed drinks in the sun before heading out.
The shower pressure was quite low, and the showerhead was set a bit low for me.

This hotel does not offer breakfast itself. a neighboring business does with a discount option. Alternatively, I found a Costa and a large Morrisons store just at the end of the road. It was so convenient

I found the location very useful, with shops and a gym just across the street. the staff was always friendly and eager to assist. It. i really liked the garden area. It was an unexpected bonus with a bar where i could relax before heading out.
The room i had showed a lack of attention. The toilet seat was not fitted properly, causing wobbling. i also noticed some drawers missing handles, which gave the room a slightly worn appearance, and the tv reception was poor, disappointing.

Our host provided really good service with a friendly attitude. He managed a difficult situation smoothly despite the challenges. The bed was very comfortable. The room was clean and well-kept, I found everything in order.
There were only three parking spots available at the front of the building. It was a squeeze to park, but I managed.

The location provides easy access to both the university and the city centre. I secured parking on the hotel, which gave me peace of mind. The hotel bar allowed for a relaxing evening drink. I found a restaurant next door that serves an excellent breakfast.
I found no electrical outlets located near the bed. Reading in bed proved difficult due to this. Central lighting in the room did not help much.
