Travel tips
Plan for a verification process before check-in: guests are required to provide a government-issued photo ID, confirm contact details, and sign a rental usage agreement, and check-in instructions may be withheld until verification is complete. Early or late check-in may be available for an additional charge (30% of the nightly rate), so request this ahead of time if your arrival is outside standard hours. If you’re arriving by air or rail, the airport is about 6.7 km away and Birmingham Train Station is about 3.1 km away, making rideshare a practical option.
