Our room was nice clean and warm and the staff were fine. The hotel is nicely close to the NEC. However the rest of the hotel seemed to be malfunctioning. The lifts were not working properly. The Fire exit had ‘DO NOT ENTER’ signs on. Other Fire Doors were propped open. We didn't sleep well partly because the beds were very hard and also we were nervous about the fire regulations being not adherd to and what other safety regulations might have been not working as they should. The key card wouldn't work for the gym. We were warned in advance that the hotel was being refurbished — however this was only a week before we arrived and by then it was too late to find another option. We wish that they had told us this BEFORE we booked there.

The Ibis lift at Birmingham International rail station was'nt working so had to carry luggage down 3 flights of stairs,directions to hotel well marked and not too long a walk to hotel. Check in staff very pleasant and helpful as were all the hotel staff. Our room was a disabled room,not quite sure why and was extremely cold,did warm up with heating control but went off when not in room so had to put it back on after we came back from dinner. Room clean but carpet very worn and beds comfortable. Only in room for a few hours as had early flight so bearable. Walked back to station in morning to catch air link to airport and luckily lift working!
