And dare I say, it was among the nicest of them and a great place to rest after an overnight flight from New York. I arrived here around 3:30 PM and was greeted in the lobby by one of the owners, who cheerfully showed me to my room and explained hotel policies. Room 9, while small, was perfect for my needs as a single traveler. The room was bright, the bed comfortable, and enough power outlets were provided for my things. The following morning, I woke up to an excellent English breakfast in the hotel pub. One of the other owners greeted me as I walked downstairs in the morning and took my breakfast order. A few minutes later, bacon, hash browns, toast, and tea were sitting in front of me, easily the best free hotel breakfast I have ever had. This even beat out the Embassy Suites breakfast. There aren't many times I've had a hotel room with better value than this. The Booking.com rate could have been paid with 15 British coins and many places would have charged at least 4 of those for a breakfast like was offered. If I'm back in the Telford area, I don't know why I would stay anywhere other than the White Horse.

The Briar Rose is one of the new Wetherspoon 'Lodges' which feature accommodation above a…read moreWetherspoon's bar or pub. The aim is to provide simple, modern, good-value accommodation in central locations in major UK towns and cities. The accommodation itself is on the well-established Ibis model: a simple en-suite room, with simple decor, and basic but adequate facilities. There's no room service, but food and drink can be bought in the Wetherspoon's below. The Briar Rose is situated in a refurbished "bankers' classical meets art-deco" style office building, with a large bar on the ground floor. We booked a triple room for a week-end. In terms of our stay, we found: Pros: - incredibly central - between New St and Colmore Row - unbeatable value - £20 per night each (£60 between three) - clean (not spotless, but fine) - surprisingly comfy beds and pillows - spacious, bright room with high ceilings - in-room tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryer - easily booked on-line Cons: - no double-glazing, so some street noise (little traffic, but the odd drunken reveller until 2am. So probably less of a problem on week-days than at week-ends) - no air-conditioning - not much privacy from the the flats opposite (I loathe net curtains, but it needs something) - reception was a bit too casual for my liking, but efficient enough - a mix-up meant the room wasn't ready at 2pm as stated, but this was sorted out quickly by the friendly and helpful cleaner - breakfast not included, but good-value breakfasts available from the Wetherspoons below. I'd happily stay there again (so long as the weather wasn't too sultry), but would try for a rear-facing room. Once I'd fallen asleep I slept like a log, as th bed was very comfy. I might look elsewhere for breakfast, though, which was the only real downer. Although the meal itself was absolutely fine (veggie cooked breakfast for £2.10) and the service friendly, they serve beer at 9am on a Sunday morning, so attracting very late night revellers in various states of inebriation. (Two blokes were actually snorting 'poppers' as they were drinking...) They were all harmless enough and friendly in a drunken sort of way, but the management ought to think seriously about the wisdom of serving alcohol so early on a Saturday and Sunday. It's hard to decide how many stars. I think: - five stars for sheer value - a safe three stars for the accommodation (four had the room been ready) - breakfast experience was definitely two stars. So three stars overall, this time.

Out of all the Wetherspoons in Birmingham, this one is the jewel in the discount chain's crown…read more Obviously, it is still a Spoon pub (so you know what you're getting), but it has several things going for it that make it a more pleasant experience than it's competitors. Firstly, let's talk location. Being slap bang in the middle of Bennetts Hill (just up from New Street), it offers a convenient place to meet or grab a pre-meal drink that won't cost the earth. I popped in for a quick one before meeting Jon B. at Bodega yesterday and was reminded why I used to love it so much when I was a student. A decent pint of Cider was £2.35. Now, with Birmingham's reputation getting better and better - drinks prices are rising. It's amazing to get a pint in certain places for under £3.40; so I was suitably impressed. So location and prices, A OK! Let's talk design. Rather than the bland and lifeless design of some of the pubs in this chain, this one has a focus on animal print (which makes it a little more interesting). Yes, you still have your "cut and paste" bar (looking like every other Spoons in the world), but with a selection of tables, booths and high seats near the bar - it's got a nice layout to maximise seating space. I also have had call to grab a quick lunch or a life saving breakfast (you know what I'm talking about - the morning after the night before) and the food here just seems to be... better. Fresher and tastier than some of the other branches. The staff here are mixed. 9 times out of 10 you'll get a friendly member of staff, but they do get rushed off their feet here and sometimes might be a little curt on occasion. So yeah. If you're in town and meeting someone for a cheeky pint or just want a cheap spot to grab some lunch, I can recommend this Wetherspoons venue over the others on offer in the city.

I wish I had ordered it twice. Walking into the Church Inn, you get the quaint, cozy traditional neighborhood pub vibe. Intimate seating that can easily accommodate small - medium groups. A couple of traditional beers on tap and a few modern ones as well. Typical atmosphere of banter around the bar ... like I said pretty traditional British Pub like .... the menu is what sets this place apart from any other pub I've been to in the UK. Soul / Cajun inspired Food! ... Gumbo, fried chicken, ribs, the works. The best part, it's F'N phenomenal. It actually tastes great. They make a pretty good Old Fashion too.

The church is one of the newer offerings in the Jewellery Quarter. Situated the opposite side of…read moreGreat Hampton Street to Tesco and the Blue Orange Theatre (which technically put's it just Outside of the JQ, but I'm pretty sure no one is that picky) it's about a 5 minute walk from the centre of the Quarter. From the classily decorated dark blue exterior, the interior is part "traditional pub" and part "quirky Americana". Think dark wood floors, bar and fittings but comfy "booths" rather than wooden tables. The real selling point of this bar is the roof garden (up a set of wrought iron stairs). Over summer this was a staple favorite with locals and visitors alike, with a mishmash of seating and the sun hitting it until late into the evening. All of the staff are attentive and welcoming, ready to dish out recommendations on ales and cocktails suited to your own tastes. The specialist drinks at this bar seem to be Whisky and Rum, which complements the Cajun and Creole menu on offer from the "Soul Food Project". I am a bit of a sucker for the fried chicken burger, but the salt cod dumplings and hush puppies are fab for starter plates too! As a hint, a full meal is around 3 starter plates. As well as great food and drink, The Church is becoming a hot spot for live music and events too. Between rib nights and whisky tastings, there is an event pretty regularly. The reason it's a 4* venue rather than a 5* for me is the price. Soft drinks and coffee are really reasonable at £2.25 for a pint of coke or an Americano (and it has great WiFi and powerpoints), a single and mixer is £3.50 - but the cocktails and food aren't cheap. Don't get me wrong... reasonable... but not cheap. It's a spot that will hot up during the winter months with it's warm welcome and home cooked food, so I recommend you hit it up now!

The interior of The Selly Park Tavern is spacious with plenty of tables and separate areas to…read moreaccommodate large groups, but other than that is nothing to really write home about. The front of the pub has a small area of tables, but these are mere yards away from the busy Pershore Road, so not exactly ideal. The outside area at the back of the pub is a different story. It overlooks a manicured bowling green and is far enough away from the Pershore Road for the traffic to be more of a dull hum than a nuisance. On a few occasions when we have sat out here a 15-piece Jazz band have been rehearsing in a hall adjacent to the pub, which makes for a pleasant change to Coldplay on the jukebox. The food is OK and the bar is well-stocked, with some decent cask ales and a fair selection of lagers. Overall, what this place really lacks is any sense of it being someones local, which is strange given it's location. There is not another pub for at least half a mile in any direction and the place is surrounded by houses, yet it retains the somewhat soulless feel of an bar in an airport, which is a shame as the size and architecture of the place suggests it could be so much better.

Last time I was here I sat outside - it's great that they have an outdoors, but compared to the size of the indoors it's a bit pathetic - a few tables in a car park basically. Which is where being on the Pershore Road isn't that great. That said, on the plus side, indoors is large, and comfortable, and always clean and tidy. There's plenty of different beers and ales available, and they often do promotions.
