Overnight accommodation for business trip.

One night stay, good night sleep in comfy bed, room is a good size, clean and tidy but a bit dated. Staff are polite and welcoming, restaurant serves good food and cold beer. I would stay at this hotel again if working on the area.

DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT STAYING HERE!

I started to write a long review and then gave up. Needless to say, we won't be coming back due to a number of reasons. From exceptionally poor management to bra pads lying about in reception, to being asked to leave as they'd allocated us the wrong room, this place is awful.

The staff at The Great Barr Hotel were all so friendly, helpful and efficient. We stayed for a visit to Crufts and could not have been made more welcome with our 2 dogs. The hotel is very clean and well appointed and we were given a nice room (a suite in fact) which had a very comfy bed and good bathroom/shower facilities. Would recommend to anyone and may visit again one day.
