Awful! Can I give it minus stars? £300 for a scruffy, smelly, mediocre hotel. I’d feel hard done to if I had spent £80 a night. Add insult to injury, you then get charged £15 a day to park. Paying £300 for a night for a single adult in a room, surely parking can be covered. I get it is in the middle of renovating. But come on, either reduce the costs or try and keep it tidy. Shower was a waste of time, head was broke so I think the floor managed more water on it than me! Just avoid

Functional hotel currently being upgraded. Check in was very good, rooms clean and decent breakfast all for a reasonable price. Purpose of staying was for attending a gig at the BP Arena part of the NEC which was about 15 minute walk away.

Heating in the rooms needs sorting. I have been staying since November weekly and all staff are always very helpful! But the room on multiple occasions is so cold until 10pm or so at night. Thanks.

It was a literal building site. No pre warning, no instructions from reception after gleefully charging for overnight parking. I walked an entire hotel hallway with raw overhanging wires, debris all over the floor, tools and broken fixtures. HSE would have a field day. Finally broke through a barrier at the far end and found our room and it delightfully overlooked the dumpsters and was right over the kitchen I presume from the amount of staff out there shouting, smoking and slamming the door of the storage portacabin. Don’t get me started on the sofa bed. This stay sucked.

Our room was nice clean and warm and the staff were fine. The hotel is nicely close to the NEC. However the rest of the hotel seemed to be malfunctioning. The lifts were not working properly. The Fire exit had ‘DO NOT ENTER’ signs on. Other Fire Doors were propped open. We didn't sleep well partly because the beds were very hard and also we were nervous about the fire regulations being not adherd to and what other safety regulations might have been not working as they should. The key card wouldn't work for the gym. We were warned in advance that the hotel was being refurbished — however this was only a week before we arrived and by then it was too late to find another option. We wish that they had told us this BEFORE we booked there.

The Ibis lift at Birmingham International rail station was'nt working so had to carry luggage down 3 flights of stairs,directions to hotel well marked and not too long a walk to hotel. Check in staff very pleasant and helpful as were all the hotel staff. Our room was a disabled room,not quite sure why and was extremely cold,did warm up with heating control but went off when not in room so had to put it back on after we came back from dinner. Room clean but carpet very worn and beds comfortable. Only in room for a few hours as had early flight so bearable. Walked back to station in morning to catch air link to airport and luckily lift working!
