The on-site Oak Bar serves British and international cuisine, including signature dishes like steak and mushroom pie, Nashville hot tenders, and butter chicken. Leisure facilities include tribute nights featuring acts like ABBA, Jersey Boys, and Motown, held in the hotel's six event suites with capacities ranging from 20 to 200 guests. The hotel is located in Great Barr, 4 km from Alexander Stadium and 6 km from The Mailbox shopping center. Business amenities include a 24-hour reception, meeting rooms with projectors, and free high-speed Wi-Fi.

Multiple dining options, including the Oak Bar & Grill, serve British and international dishes.

Six versatile event spaces host conferences, weddings, and private functions.

Cons

The pool and spa facilities are not available on-site.

Some rooms face nearby motorways, potentially causing noise disturbance.

“First impressions are strong here, from the welcoming reception to the well-maintained décor throughout. Guest rooms are generously sized, clean, and thoughtfully equipped, while the bar and restaurant provide good value; plus, the convenient location outside the city center makes this property ideal for short stays.”
