I stayed at this hotel for one night using Priority club points - a special rate was on meaning I could get the room for 5,000 points instead of the usual 10,000. Check-in was quick and easy and the lady on reception was friendly, the reception area is modern and looks as though it has recently been done up.
I arrived on a Saturday evening and was hoping that I'd be able to get something to eat at the hotel, however, they don't do food at the weekend which was a dissapointment as the local area didn't seem to have anywhere near by that looked good serving food (there is a pub right next door, however, it was packed, noisy and if I am honest didn't look great, luckily you could not hear its racket in the hotel!
The rooms are nice and like the rest of the hotel look as if they 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 very unusual. Breakfast was good, with croissants, cereals, toast, fruit, 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 guests can use, so I guess if you picked up a ready meal it'd be ok, the hotel reception also had a fridge filled with juices, yoghurt's etc that could be purchased, however, it was all really just snacks. The hotel is located just off the M5 and is easy to find and is a great travel hotel if you need to break up a long journey.
