Express at Holiday Inn

Advantages: Good deals
Disadvantages: Can be expensive without discount

...but have recently changed to Holiday Inn Express. This is good for those not paying the bill, but can be expensive if it is coming out of your own pocket. I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Express next to the NEC in Birmingham - watch out if an event is on at the NEC - the price rockets to £100 per night!! still I was not paying. The lounge area is comfortable with a small but expensive bar (the Village Inn next door is much better value). ...
.../ coffee etc. All have computer points and even supply pens & paper for your use. The shower is excellent. Breakfast, which is included in the price is contenental but you can eat as much as you like and it was fresh and to a high standard. A good touch, if you say at these premises a lot is the loyalty card. Your company pays the bills and you rake up the points for free accomodation when you are away on a leisure break. In all they are of a ...

Review of Holiday Inn Express Birmingham NEC, Birmingham

Good budget hotel

Advantages: modern
Disadvantages: lack of restauarant at weekend

...have recently been refurbished, standard holiday inn express feel and design and very clean which for me is the most important thing. The bathroom was clean with a shower and shampoo and liquid soap. Tea and coffee facilities as is usual and a decent sized television with a good reception. One of the things that I like about the Holiday Inn express brand is that a free breakfast is standard meaning you get one even when you pay on points which is ...
...yoghurt, tea, coffee, orange juice etc. The hotels location really is only convenient if you have a car, please don't be fooled by the "Birmingham" title, as this hotel isn't in the city centre. I'd recommend this hotel, although only if you can get a good value rate (under £50.00, especially on a weekend when the hotel appears to run on limited service with no restaurant etc). I did notice in the reception area though that there is a microwave that ...

Review of Apollo Hotel, Birmingham

A room with a view

Advantages: Brilliant view
Disadvantages: Over Priced

...to be pampered. The Hyatt is located on Broad Street in Birmingham and is 24 stories high giving a fabulous view over the city, our room was located on the 18th floor (high up at our request) and the view was phenomenal. The cost for 2 nights bed and breakfast set us back just under £400 so we had high expectations. On our arrival (and much to my annoyance), the valet parking service was not available, we had to leave our cases with the conceierge ...
...from the hotel (which costs £12 per 24 hours, and if I'm honest doesn't look too safe, although no harm came to the car during our stay). After the long walk back from the car park we collected our baggage and struggled to get it through the doors, as the concierege just stood there watching, now I know it's my fault for over-packing, but a girl gotta have choices of outfit! , previously when I have stayed in a small bed and breakfast for £30 a night ...

Review of Hyatt Regency, Birmingham

Hotel Birmingham Metrpole,Birmingham

Advantages: Close to NEC
Disadvantages: Very poor value for money. Inefficient service.

I booked in advance through conference organisers. This was a mistake. Suggest you make own arrangement with hotel direct. I paid £135 for a small single bedded room with an old TV. I reckon I could have got this same room well under £100 if I had booked myself direct. Being the closest hotel to the NEC is probably why it is one of the most expensive. I compared my facilities with others in different hotels. They all had better value for money. Hotel ...
...newspaper. I was charged for it but it never arrived. Then I made use of the rapid checkout service which promised a receipt would be sent on to me. This did not occur so I had to telephone the hotel for this. In summary a very overpriced hotel for facilities offerred and service provided. ...
