Pros:

Staff and cleanliness of room were lovely, breakfast was nice and plenty of choice. The only negative was the parking charges, we were aware there would be charges and asked for the code, but still had to pay £25 for each car for one night stay. The manager did step in when we queried it, saying he will look into it, not sure if this is just lip service but we will see if we get anything back.

Beware of the Car Park Charges
Pros:

Very nice hotel but crazy additional cost to park the car. Ended up paying £25 to park the car for 1 night. If I had known this I would never have booked this hotel as loads of other choices with no car park charges.

Pros:

We had an enjoyable stay before driving home to Glasgow after returning from Gran Canaria on a late flight. Staff were super friendly & accommodating, even allowing us a later checkout time in the morning to give us some extra rest after our flight had been delayed.

Thank you so much for making us feel welcome & we would definitely return if flying to/from Birmingham again!

Fine for work
Pros:

Absolutely fine. Bit noisy at night from other rooms, but that can't be helped other than thicker walls. Breakfast was included and surprisingly good.
