This was a last minute booking after a cancelled flight out of Birmingham airport. I paid £350 for one night, and the room was nowhere near the standard I’d expect at that price. The room had an awful smell, like mouldy rotten smell. Curtains were old and stained. TV looked like something from a university Dorm in 2004. In the bathroom, there was tiles hanging loose on the wall. On the plus side, the bed was clean and comfy with loads of pillows. Also, the lobby area is nice enough, and staff were pleasant. Pretty annoying to get there to find they stop serving food at 9:30, and they didn’t even have room service available. They suggested I could have chocolate / crisps from the vending machine. Shockingly bad for a £350 a night international airport hotel.

The hotel is ideally located for the NEC but again whilst the room was good value for money the carport charge was £24 for overnight which was the sting in the tail.

At booking time I pressed on the wrong date and did not realise. I needed an accessible hotel room on the same day and I had chosen the next day. Even though I phoned minutes after booking I was told nothing could be done to help me change the date. We are not impressed with Expedia, who tried to phone the hotel but could not get an answer (even though I had phoned and spoken to the hotel before Expedia tried) or IHG who would not accept a mistake had been made in the booking form and help us. Will try to stop friends and family using Expedia or IHG as there was no help for us at all. IHG said if we hadn’t booked through Expedia they would have been able to accommodate us!! A definite warning NOT to use Expedia.

Great room but breakfast was an absolute disaster!
We booked specifically as knew we would be arriving on a late flight and looked forward to the free breakfast the following morning. The room was comfortable and clean and we slept well however going down to breakfast at 9.30 we were met with what I can only describe as a cattle market. Virtually no food was left and the entire room was in disarray with people searching for plates, cutlery and the last remaining few slices of toast! While the hotel can do little to stop people piling plates full of food to excess if a free breakfast is on offer then it needs to be somewhat better thought through, maybe not having a 10am cut off on a Sunday would help spread out the rush somewhat. Overall a really stressful experience and we wished we had booked the Ibis right at the airport, saved the taxi cost and paid for breakfast there!!
