Even after check-out, we were allowed to store our belongings securely, which was super convenient when we ran errands during the day. When we returned before the game, we were treated to free entry plus a hearty bowl of food—then again when we came back before leaving Birmingham. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality where you truly feel looked after. Plus, the location is unbeatable: just a 2-minute walk to Villa Park, 7 minutes to the local Tesco, 30 minutes to Star City, and both train stations are within 5 and 10 minutes on foot.
