Travel Directions

By road

The hotel is right next to J10 of the M6, but is not visible from the motorway.

From the North: Exit at J10 and turn right heading for Wolverhampton but DO NOT enter the left hand lane. (This will take you down the Black Country Route which you don’t want and it is a long way to the next roundabout!) Stay in the right-hand lane to the traffic lights and take the second exit signposted “Buses and Hotel” and then immediately the first right into what looks like a small service road. Follow this and you will come to the hotel. Go in through the car park barrier. When you leave remember to pick up an exit token from reception.

From the South: Come off at J10 and keep to the righthand lane. Stay in lane as you go up the slip-road to the lights. Then follow directions as above. The Quality Hotel is located just off Junction 10 of the M6, approximately 20 miles north of Birmingham and five miles west of Walsall; free parking is available immediately adjacent. If you're using satellite navigation, the address is 20 Wolverhampton Road, WS2 0BS.
