Not the best experience. The receptionist challenged me regarding the money I paid for my booking using my gold Expedia points, to which a colleague interfered on her own language that I couldn’t understand, and her attitude changed automatically. My premium room had a windows to a wall! Dinner requested and two hours later nothing. Other than being overcharged ( as a gesture of good will I was given two beers that were lefty in the fridge ), got ill overnight with suspected food poisonous. So, not the best experience I ever had therefore my poor review.

OK, so I booked the wrong location. This hotel was fine. The shuttle service for the airport was poor. We had mobility issues, were dropped off at airrail station, lift out of service, had to get 4 bags up an escalator. Then off to a long walk to check-in. Won't do this again

We loved the use of the indoor pool which was warm and clean. Sauna and hot tub were great as well. Breakfast had a good selection and the room was tidy with a comfy bed. Perfect place that’s affordable and close to the airport and birmingham.

Exceeded all expectations. We were welcome to a free glass of wine and snacks (not sure what the occasion was - but was very welcome). Check in was busy and we were greeted with an apology. Family suite was spacious and the in room facilities good (tea, coffee, Nespresso and chocolate for the child). Buffet breakfast (with alternative/additional items freshly made) had a good variety. Swimming pool and leisure facilities included in the price.

There was nothing I didn't like about my stay. The hotel has been extended since I held a conference there about 30 years ago. It has a very recent new wing. It's very open and laid back, and the bedrooms are pretty much perfect. Scrupulously clean. The kitchen was always busy serving a great range of quality food at decent prices and breakfast was awesome. On top of that the staff, from reception, to the bar star, the driver of the shuttle bus to the airport, the cleaners, the chefs and dining room staff, were superb. Nothing was too much to ask. I'm not a very demanding customer. I suppose I have a standard - but 'm not pushy at all. I respect the staff. The staff here are highly motivated, highly efficient and actually seemed to enjoy their work. A massive credit to the hotel.
