Easy to find and had ample parking when I arrived. Was staying overnight for business. Was a loud evening as a match was going on (on TV) however, when I arrived at room, silence. Peaceful silence. Becky was lovely checking me in and I met some of the other team members that evening. All were lovely.Slept peacefully. Room was clean and simple as was the bathroom. Had easy access to the car park. In the morning, Donna was lovely and accommodating. Overall, clean and quiet rooms with great service. Would stay over again.

Fairly basic hotel but clean & the staff went out of their way to be helpful. Although there was no tea making facilities in the rooms we were given a kettle, tea bags, milk, sugar & cups. |We felt the staff couldn’t do enough for us & would definitely go back.

A great place on a budget. Comfy bed, fab shower and not far from the motorway.Had an overnight stop here to break up a long journey and was very comfortable. The hotel is attached to a busy local pub but was not affected by bar noise and it was busy when we arrived.Don't expect the Ritz as you aren't going to get it for this price. What you do get is a comfortable room with a fab shower and surprisingly some complimentary soap/shampoo which I tried and were good.As per reviews I have seen prior the room did smell of smoke which I can't understand, as a heavy smoker myself I found the entrance a great area as there is a conditioning unit pumping out warm air which made a smoke outside comfortable so come on folks stop smoking in the rooms.The attached pub is a true local and can get a little colourful but for me adds to the experience as I am used to this as a Northener myself.All in I would say it was a pleasure to stay here .

TLDR: Awful service which cost me a £170 on top of £120 for the rooms because they told me a parking fine which I should not have received in the first place had been cancelled. Only to find that it hadn't.The only redeeming factor of this venue is the fact that its so close to a train station for access into Birmingham.We stayed during a multi day event at the NEC so the cost of £60 per room (I booked 2) was a lot less than the surrounding hotels which wanted close to £200.The room itself was musty and although it had been "Surface" cleaned you could tell it had not had a thorough clean in a while.The mattresses were extremely thin and uncomfortable as soon as you sit or lay on the bed you can feel the hard base of the bedframeThe listing stated that there was parking onsite. And on booking i paid a £50 per room deposit and left my Car Registration with reception. (Which I received the same day as checkout)I had a rough nights sleep however for the price and comparison for premium hotels, it is what it is. We left early in the morning to get back to our event at NEC.The problems occurred 2 weeks later, when I received a PCN (Parking Charge Notification), they wanted £100 because i had parked on their property. I contacted them via phone, and spoke to Donna, who gave me an incorrect email address and telling me to send a picture of the PCN and details of my car and they would handle it, after a bounce back and then calling the hotel back to get the correct email, i send the information through. I had to chase up two days later to get any confirmation that it was done. They said, its all cancelled, please do not respond to any further requests from the PCN. And there were no further requests to be fair.Until 37 days later. when I received a debt collection notice asking for £170 because I had failed to pay a PCN. I tried to call the hotel but they would not answer, I emailed the hotel asking for immediate response giving my contact information. They did not call.I contacted the debt collection company and provided evidence that I was a customer of the venue and that the landlord had told me the PCN was cancelled. They did not care. They had bought the "Debt" and they were ruthless. I could have been on my death bed with cancer and they would have pressed charges against me. But that's not who i am reviewing here.I managed to get an email response from Donna at the Station Inn and she said it had been cancelled and not to pay it.. However she was not the one with aggressive debt collectors contacting her so why does she care? She claimed that it had been cancelled and there was nothing else to be done about it.. She did not provide any proof that it had been cancelled and refused to take liability for the charge incurred to me.In the end, as i only actually had 3 working days to figure things out before the Debt Collectors would press charges against me i ended up £170 out of pocket with a new found abhorrent hate for The Station Inn. I sincerely hope that somebody reads this review, and chooses to stay away from this venue because of it. They are undeserving of your custom.
