“The Old Crown balances a lively pub atmosphere with simple lodging; the main draw here is undeniably the pub scene, which can extend late into the night. While the location is convenient for exploring Birmingham, light sleepers should consider the potential for noise. If you are looking for a vibrant pub experience with a place to sleep, this could be it.”
