Can't beat the location
Pros:

This hotel was perfect location close to the theatres and Grand Central train station & mall. The room was spacious and warm. Breakfast was the standard as hotel breakfasts go. Welcoming & friendly reception.

Cons:

The cleaner was in our room when we finished our breakfast (10am) so we felt rushed and couldn't use our loo as it was being cleaned.

Great location, fab hotel stay!
Pros:

The hotel was very well situated from New Street Station, taking around 7-10 minutes to walk there. The reception area was well lit and clean, it had a lovely fragrance that both me and my sister commented on! Check in was quick and the member of staff was very polite and helpful. We got a great room on the 17th floor so enjoyed the views of Birmingham. The room was clean and well appointed for a single night's stay. We really liked the Dove hand soap in the bathroom! The mattress and pillows on the beds were really comfortable.

Cons:

Sometimes there was a delay in the lift coming to the floor, one of the lifts didn't appear to move from the 16th floor the entire time we were there which caused a little wait. This is a very minor niggle and didn't affect our enjoyment of our stay at all.

Ideal for an affordable city break
Pros:

The breakfast had lots of choice and the quality was good for the price

Cons:

Nothing bad at all, I'd have liked a herbal (mint maybe?) teabag in the room but I probably could have asked for one. I would also have liked access to a coffee machine in the lounge area.
