Simple stay near the m6
perfect locationclean roomgood parkingeasy access
The location worked well. It was just off the m6. Parking was good, and I easily parked my car. The room I got was clean. I noticed it upon entering. It provided what I needed for one night.
I noticed only one very slight thing, the soap was missing from the bathroom.
