Extremely friendly staff. I asked if I could possibly check in a little earlier which was accommodated as my daughter was in dire need of a nap! Very handy location as only 5/10 mins from Bullring and also very close to the Gay Village for the Pride festival. Have stayed here for the last 4 Pride events and will stay again :)
