Excellent location for attending the Utilita Arena, Symphony Hall or the SeaLife Centre. Q car park is adjacent to the property, or if arriving by train Birmingham New Street is a 15 minute walk.
The property has comfortable rooms and the facilities are well maintained.
BUT We attended the Les Mis concert at the Arena and returned to the hotel to have a drink to finish off the evening at around 10:30. However, there was only one member of staff serving and a queue of people quickly ensued. To add to this the card machine was only working intermittently. The member of staff coped wonderfully and should be commended, she was calm, efficient and dealt with what could have been a angry situation. Management should take a look at themselves and consider that if an event is in the nearby Arena, people will book the hotel (closest to the venue),they will return expecting the bar to be staffed appropriately and payment methods to be working. It's not complicated!
Management should thank Eshaa for being so professional, I note that other reviewers have mentioned Eshaa previously, clearly she is an asset to the Hotel and I hope she is recompensed accordingly.
