The Aston Inn

This is a dive motel more for fans of Football or concerts. Someone who gets drunk goes to sleep and wakes up. I needed a place to stay for the night so I wasn't expecting much for the price. There was ample parking and a very nice bar with TV's, games and pool tables. The girl at the bar was very nice and the food was good dinner... Breakfast was awesome which earned it the 3 stars. The walls are paper thin so which is something to consider so 1 dot is subtracted since I could hear every work my neighbors said. That also included the fooling around part ha ha. The biggest problem was no internet and this is an ongoing issue so I have to ding it 1 dot. It is dated but that gives it its charm and you can tell they are trying to make the rooms nicer. Like I say there's someone who can appreciate the price and location. The staff was very friendly and good. So I give it a 3.75 over all.

It served a purpose Booked this hotel as convenient for football ground. It was ok, the room was clean but beds were uncomfortable, think a change of mattresses might be an idea.

Pros: great location for Villa Park and an even better price point compared to others in the area. Cons: virtually underneath the A38 so traffic noises from rumble strips is always there so light sleepers may want to carry earplugs. No kettle in the room but you can fetch hot drinks complimentary whilst the bar is open but may make your first cuppa of the day late. Only one iron for all guests, iron before you leave home. Couldn’t find there was any WiFi in the room I was in and isn’t the best signal either on the phone.
