  Birmingham trip

  Very comfortable stay, quiet room on the ground floor even though it was very near reception, I think the other guests were very considerate and we were not disturbed at all. Dinner and breakfast were superb value and very good. I would like to make particular mention of the staff who were without exception warm, friendly and efficient. We were very impressed, thank you.

  Nice Hotel!

  I’ve visited this hotel multiple times over the past seven years, and always had a fantastic stay with no problems! A lovely hotel, with a modern restaurant and caring staff. Lovely location - nice and easy to get to the airport, NEC, Resorts World, Shopping, and BP Pulse Live (used to be Resorts World Arena) 😊

  How to get there from the NEC

  Very convenient for the NEC. Can be a bit confusing initially finding your way to the right path. If you arrive at birmingham international by train, walk through the NEC and head for the exit at hall 17. Out the door and head to the right, cross over the zebra crossing and head for the main car park straight ahead. Cross the road and take the path to the left. Keep walking, cross the road again and you’ll see the purpley lights of the hotel beckoning you forth. Stick to the pavement crossing the road just shy of a roundabout and keep going. There’s a tarmac path just after the fence to the hotel entrance. It’s all quite poorly signposted, but hopefully this will help other visitors walk back and forth safely. Took 20 mins at a steady pace from train to hotel door.

  Easy Work Trip

  Easy work trip- stayed for 2 nights as was attending event at the NEC. Easy walk way to the halls from the hotel- approx. 15 mins walking to access Hall 6. Unfortunately was placed in room 1- bedroom on the ground floor with adjoining wall to toilets on the ground floor. Everytime the hand dryer is used it rattles through into the bedroom. Kind Gigi on reception was able to move rooms for me the next morning after minimal sleep.

  Poor access

  Reasonable budget hotel and very helpful staff but access is a big negative. The walking path to the NEC has been blocked off and with part of the NEC closed when I visited, a previous 20 minute walk (half under cover within the NEC) to an exhibition turned out to be a 30 minute trek in the rain. If you want a taxi, there is no taxi rank at the hotel and no notice giving numbers to call for a local taxi. As others have said, parking is expensive (£15 per night). Why can there not be free parking for guests staying at the hotel? If leaving and returning during a stay, there was no information about if payment was needed each time or only at checkout. It appears the system is quite smart and takes payment in 24 hour periods, but this is not made clear on the notices. I received an e-mail saying that as I had booked before the parking price increased I could have a code from the staff to pay at the previous cheaper rate, buit when I asked I was told to leave my car registration number, not pay and it would be sorted out. This sounded like a recipe for a £100 penalty charge so I paid anyway. With all these hassles, probably better to stay elesewhere when visiting the NEC.
