Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms at a great airport rate, although they need an upgrade. The service is hit or miss, but the location, especially for airport needs, is a major draw. Dining is affected by current conditions. Overall, it's a convenient stay for airport and NEC visits.
The hotel has recently been renovated to a high standard, offering clean and comfortable rooms. The staff, while some were not as friendly, others were extremely helpful. The location is perfect for airport convenience, but the dining experience had some issues. Overall, a good value for the money.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great experiences and a few disappointments. The rooms were exceptionally clean, with good toiletries and lovely soft towels. However, the early morning traffic noise when the sofa bed was used was a bit of a downside, especially considering the price. The staff at the bar were super friendly and very pleasant throughout the evening.
The hotel is conveniently situated for early flights, opposite the terminal, making it a great choice. The room was modern but lacked proper temperature control, impacting sleep quality. Some service issues were noted, but overall satisfactory.
Staying at the hotel was a mix of comfort and frustration. While my newly refurbished room was beautifully decorated and cozy, the lack of a bathtub was disappointing, especially after a long flight. Despite the annoying mix-up with the room type, the convenient location near the airport made my stay more manageable.
The hotel is conveniently located across from the airport terminal building, ideal for a restful night before an early flight. The rooms are to a high standard but can feel cramped with unnecessary additional beds and lack of air conditioning. The service provided is exceptionally friendly. The dining experience is reasonable but lacks variety in breakfast options.
Upon arrival, we found the rooms already occupied, which was a bit frustrating. However, the rooms, although a bit expensive for what they are, were adequately furnished, quiet, and comfortable. The bathroom and shower were of a good standard. The service was pleasant overall, with friendly staff who made an effort to ensure our comfort. The location was very convenient for us, especially for an onward early flight the next morning. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a decent English breakfast but some missing items. The facilities were sufficient for our needs, providing a comfortable stay.
Opposite the airport terminal, the hotel's lobby and bar area greeted us warmly, though the tired-looking rooms had a musty smell compared to other premier hotels. Service varied from unpleasant and rude to welcoming and accommodating.
The hotel had rooms that were surprisingly quiet but needed some maintenance as some plugs weren't working and the window was hard to close. The bathroom layout was odd with an unnecessary extra door. The location was excellent being just steps away from the terminal, perfect for airport travelers.
My stay at the hotel was comfortable and enjoyable overall, with clean rooms and friendly staff. However, the dining experience left something to be desired due to limited options. The location was convenient, and the facilities were well-maintained.
I had a bit of a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms felt a bit outdated and could use some renovating, the cleanliness was top-notch. The service was friendly and caring, but the wait times at reception were a downside. The location was superb, especially for those needing quick access to the airport. The dining options were decent but could use some improvement in the quality and variety of food.
The hotel's location next to the airport made it convenient for our early flight, but the lack of prompt service and room discrepancies were a letdown. The dining experience, although with limited options, was satisfactory. The overall value for money was reasonable, considering the proximity to transportation hubs.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with some minor issues like a cramped entryway and no special benefits as a member. The service was exceptional, especially in accommodating dietary needs, but the location didn't meet all my expectations. The dining experience was decent, although there were some areas for improvement. Overall, it was an average stay with some highlights and drawbacks.
Despite a few setbacks, my stay at the hotel was satisfactory. The location was convenient for my early morning flight and the proximity to the airport was great. The service, although a bit inconsistent, had some helpful staff members. The dining experience was average, and the facilities were decent overall.
I booked this hotel for an overnight stay before my early morning flight. The room had a pull-out bed and everything needed for a stopover, very modern and clean. The service was mixed with a helpful receptionist but some issues with the dining experience. The location was incredibly convenient, just a minute's walk to/from departures and arrivals at Birmingham International Airport.
