great locationfriendly stafftriple room
The location was great! it was perfect for my travel needs. Just a quick air bus ride and a short walk from birmingham international to the airport. i found the staff cute and friendly. my room was compact and very clean, providing everything i needed for my visit.
I think the triple room needs some work. i didn't like the separate toilet and shower with the sink in the bedroom. the triple room has a lower double with a single bunk above. I had to sleep at the bottom of the bed because the top end felt claustrophobic.
