Cleaners a bit over zealous

You can walk directly to the NEC and Birmingham International train station from the back of the hotel. Trains to Birmingham New street for shopping very good and inexspensive.

Perfect location for NEC

Very easy to find. Only a 7 minute walk to the NEC. On arrival my impression was a very modern new hotel with a european style reception/hall. Not sure if this hotel was built in 2 stages i.e. one 20/30 years ago or that it had been renovated in 2 stages or not. Our room was in the older wing. The room itself had everything you required however it was very dated. Didnt use restaurant & bar. The pool was good - modern & clean. Lovely changing rooms - very modern, good showers. We were competing at Crufts therefore we welcomed on arrival outside the main door a Poo bin with complimentary bags!! Only problem was that i had asked for a wake up call and never got it. Just a s well i had my own alarm set!

ONLY LET DOWN BY POOR SERVICE

they do an excellent entertainment package in your room, 19.99 for 3 movies and unlimited internet and music in your room over a 24 hour period. Ideal if you spend a lot of time in your room

Excellent location for transport links

Train into city centre less than 4 pounds return on a Saturday which is much cheaper than trying to find somewhere to park. Train station 5mins walk from hotel

Convenient for NECC

Second stay marred only by wrong room allocation -double not twin rooms we had booked. Transfer meant that alarm call went to original room allocation - presumably to irritation of its new occupants. This hotel is within short walking distance from NECC and has excellent leisure club facilities with welcoming staff. Public areas such as the bar becoming just a little tired over 2-year period.
