Despite being so near Birmingham International Airport and the NEC, this hotel has one of the most beautiful settings of many hotels I have stayed in. The rooms are clean and well presented, the food is extremely good, even when large numbers are being catered, and staff are very helpful. Would strongly recommend.

We arrived quite late - 9.45pm and found quite a lot of other people checking in as well but another receptionist appeared and we didn't have long to wait. We were on the 5th floor overlooking the car parks and with the window open we did get a bit of traffic noise from the nearby road but nothing too serious.... More

We stayed here over Friday/Saturday night for a concert at the Symphony Hall (great concert/great hall !) Good: - efficient check in - our room seemed recently decorated - good TV (with Sky Sports) - good choice at breakfast (hot & cold food, £12 per person) - quiet on 8th floor - excellent bed comfort, average pillows - close to...

Got this hotel as a deal through lastminute.com when looking for a hotel as we were attending the Good Food Show. Our deal also included the parking however I believe that there is normally a charge of £10 per 24hrs for this so check this if booking. The hotel is perfect for the LG Arena/NEC as you just have to... More

Used the hotel as a base for seeing Neil Young and Crazy Horse at the LG Arena. The hotel is excellent, although more expensive than others we have stayed in, and the car park is an extra £10, but the location is the selling point; so close to the LG arena and the NEC halls, it is only minutes away,...

Went to see Rush at The NEC. Last time stayed at The Hilton and was not impressed, thought we would try Crowne Plaza this time. Loved it here. So close to venue literally a couple of minutes walk. Our room was very comfortable, bed was one of the nicest I have slept in in this country. Liked the fact that... More

The proximity to the NEC as well as rail and air travel makes this a very accessible location. When we arrived we were welcomed warmly by the staff who then checked us into our rooms painlessly and quickly. I was in the shower washing off my international travel within five minutes of arriving at the property. I can’t say how... More

We stayed here as "the Moodies" were playing at the LG Arena which it was a very convienient location for. On arrival we did have a minor issue connected to our booking and the prices for the rooms we had booked. However as soon as the excellent Inga got involved it was resolved very quickly and we were thrilled with... More

Stayed here on Saturday whilst attending concert at the LG Arena. Staff throughout were efficient and friendly whilst the food and service in the restaurant was perfectly acceptable with my 'Gourmet' burger cooked exactly as requested. Breakfast was also very good with a wide selection available (just as well for some people from the look of it!) Room was also... More
