My expectations were high, I was disappointed. Reception staff were varied in relatability. All helpful but there’s a clear hierarchy, amongst members. I had an issue with a shower light not working, three times I enquired. To be told needs a new part and I could change rooms. The first night not offered that as there was no space. I wasn’t recognised as an IHG MEMBER by initial team member. So I missed out on their goody bag offering. My request for room on lower level and close to lift not honoured although I was told it was. Room was dowdy, especially in the bathroom. Excellent mobility shower. Large and a seat. Clean towels daily. (4 night stay) FREE PARKING, is the bonus here. INCLUSIVE BREAKFAST, but make sure you take a bag to pack. Food can go quickly. No change up each day but lots offered. Replenishing is laboured.

The staff were helpful but the room was not clean. The underside of the rails and sink had stuff on them. They also didn't offer any suggestion or tempary lighting when the area had a power cut. I am handicapped and was on the first floor. During checkout the elevator did not work. I had to use the stairs. No help was offered.

Weekend stay

Plenty of parking at the hotel that was free. Breakfast was plentiful and room was large. Beds were comfortable. Only thing - our room was next to the main road which was noisy during the night with cars racing up and down.

It is a nice place to stay. Was greeted very friendly on check in and all the staff was very helpful and friendly. The food was brilliant. The room was nice and clean and tidy. Unfortunately which is out of the staffs control was other guests above us banging most of the time. When we eventually had enough we called down to reception abd they sorted it out. No more banging 😉. So yes very good experience and would most definitely come back here.

The location of the property is great, breakfast is included which is great and there is a good variety of food, rooms are big and clean. However 2 of the 3 rooms that we booked had broken air conditioning and the other room didn't have USB pots by the bedside. We are yet to receive compensation for the air con that we paid for, but didn't receive. This would put me off going to this hotel again.

We particularly chose this property because it had air conditioning and for it's location and because it is a Holiday Inn hotel. We booked 3 rooms for a family event. At check in the staff got confused because we all had the same surname and it took some time to work out who was already here and we had to confirm the book reference to prove that 3 rooms had been booked. This was sorted though and rooms were found for us. However, despite being advertised as having air conditioning it was only in 1 room that it was working! When we enquired about this we were told that the engineer had been called a few weeks ago, but they were still waiting for them to arrive! They couldn't move us to other rooms because they were already over booked!! We have complained to the company and are hoping for compensation as we were misold rooms. The rooms are clean, nice and large and the beds comfortable. There are very few plugs and there should be USB points by the bedside, but these were missing in one on the rooms and we were told that head office only provide a limited number each week, not enough for a whole hotel! Some of the seats in the rooms are a bit grubby and desk chairs appear to be missing from some rooms. We've not had breakfast yet, so I hope that's great. At least there's air conditioning in the dining area! It just leaves me with lots of questions about the company and doubt as to whether we will stay in this hotel again.

Staff very friendly, room was very large. Beds comfortable. Air conditioning wasn’t working so a fan was provided but not very good and road outside was too noisy to have the window open. Lots of things not available on the menu in the evening. Breakfast nice, lots of choice. Convenient location to Star city and Birmingham centre.
