Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Room comfort
On arrival in room the curtain rail was lying on the floor and assumption was that the sofa bed would have been made up for us. As we arrived after midnight on day of check in due to travel issues my son and I just crashed out on the double bed ... no great shakes in the big scheme of things. I did expect a little better, after signing up to the One Rewards scheme after my visit to the Holiday Inn Nottingham in March I might revert back to other hotels in future. The room was clean, staff were excellent. Having stayed on business at the Holiday Inn in Nottingham, I would say Birmingham maybep has a little to learn.
