Sleepless in Birmingham

We spent a night at Crowne Plaza Birmingham city center. Check in and check out was a pleasant experience. The room, bathroom and general hotel was clean. My problem started when I realised that the 'soundproof' room wasn't 'soundproof'. I could hear the guests next door shouting and screaming for hours. I booked this hotel mainly because of the 'soundproof' room, but was thoroughly disappointed. My next issue was I could hear everything happening outside, including vehicles passing, people conversing, glass bottles being emptied into a bin,surely that shouldn't be happening. Apparently, the room I was in, was facing the quiet side. I don't think so, I left more tired than when I arrived due to sleep deprivation. The parking wasn't the best for £21 per day, but I was greatful there was parking. If you have lots of bags, maybe drop them off at the entrance of the hotel and then park, I didn’t see a lift, so I used the stairs. The other car par charged me £4 for 1 hour, or you could park on the side of the road (if there's space) for a few hours until you figure out the parking situation. Lastly, the quilt was so hot for this time of the year, it would have been great if a light sheet was in the cupboard as another option. Overall, because of the sleepless night and how noisy it was I wouldn't stay there again. However, others may have had a better experience.

The hotel and staff were brilliant for our trip to the Utilia arena. The check in was speedy and very knowledgeable. The room was fantastic and we had such an amazing bargain for our stay. If we come back to the Utilita again we would certainly be looking at staying the this hotel again. Thank s to everyone involved.

Great one nights stay.

We had a really good one night stay at the Crowne Plaza. We arrived slightly early than the check in time but as a room was ready we were able to check in early. The room was lovely and we enjoyed our breakfast. There was plenty of choice. Would recommend.
