Book a Hotel near Birmingham Business Park, Birmingham

I could not believe how conveniently located this property was to the airport, the International train station and the NEC (convention center). It took 5-10 minutes to walk from the hotel to the NEC, then the train station and the airport. The hotel also has a shuttle that will pick you up at the train station (which is connected to the airport). I totally loved this convenience. There are shops 5 minutes away from the hotel at Resorts World, a theater, a casino, many restaurants. At the nearby in the train station you can get groceries, and there are more restaurants. The folks at the concierge desk were so nice - thanks to Martin who helped us with train tickets, restaurants, etc. and was an all around sweet guy. There is also a nice bar, restaurant and coffee shop in the hotel. I loved the large swimming pool and gym in the hotel, and used the gym every day. The beds were comfortable and room was clean - provided a safe, hair dryer, iron, kettle with tea and instant coffee. It does not have a fridge or ice bucket (that must be a U.S. thing - and no wash cloths are provided in the UK, so bring your own if it's important to you). The only problem with my room is that I could not get the heat/air conditioning to work - it seemed broken. But the staff brought me a stand-up heater which worked well and the window opened if I needed fresh air, so I felt fine to stay in my room for my entire 5 night stay.

People are super great. Facility needs more work. Was not able to access wifi. Pleasant stay.
