Terrible service in bar

Service in bar/restaurant terrible. I waited 30 mins for a drink which I requested without ice but arrived with, another 20 mins later I realized others who had arrived after me were already eating so had to go to check on my food, a sales. When it finally arrived I had no cutlery..I went to the bar to pay as wasn't going to wait, no apology and I realized after that a top had been included on the bill.

Scumbag parking scheme

You get to the hotel and for the parking right next to it you have to load an App and prepay. £15 - not cheap but at an exhibition centre you expect it. What you don’t expect is a hotel where the “day” you have paid for expires at midnight and you get a £60 “fine for overstaying “ as you leave the following morning. What hotel thinks you want to leave at midnight?. Of course the App doesn’t offer you the option of buying the extra day - no because they know they are going to fleece you with a parking fine. The hotel itself is obviously convenient for events at the arena, a reasonable comfortable chain hotel . But the scumbag parking scheme ruins the experience.

The hotel was clean, and the room was large and comfortable, if a little dated. The hotel was busy when we stayed, the restaurant was excellent but service was a bit slow. I had some issues with the parking payment, but the hotel staff were excellent, and sorted out my issues professionally and with no fuss. Would definitely stay again.

The location was amazing. Right by a beautiful lake and close to many restaurants and other shops and a cinema. Not far from Birmigham airport and Birmingham Intertrnaltional Train station. I had a lovely restful time at the hotel. Though I did several trips out to various locations in Birmingham Its was so nice to get back to the Crowne Plaza NEC.

Overall this is a great property conveniently located within walking distance of Resorts World and BP Pulse live. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The price I paid was quite cheap considering this is a Crown Plaza hotel in Birmingham. 5*.. I would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable hotel

Comfortable room, beds and pillows. Second time staying in three weeks and second time had torn hand towel in the bathroom. I did complain this time - not what you’d expect in a four star hotel. Good choice on the bar menu.
