Leaving.
The dismal decor. The incompetent staff. The miserable dining room. The surrounding city. The room.
Avoid it at all costs.

The restaurant service was not professional - waiting for the food for 30 minutes.

Nice room, good location.
Construction all day long made it impossible to talk in the room and lobby.
This hotel will be excellent in September when the construction is finished but right now it looks horrible, construction materials everywhere and horribly loud all day long. Literally impossible to carry on a conversation due to construction, hard to communicate with staff because of construction. Also because of the construction the water was cut off the first day I was there. The newly refurbished room was very nice but not enjoyable because of the noise. We were not informed that there would be this construction so it was an awful surprise. read more

Location and concierge was quite helpful.
Building under construction and a couple of the receptionists were rude.
I'm sure the hotel will be a comfortable place to stay when the construction has completed. The location is great!

Fairly large room.
Dial-up internet access.
This is definitely not a four star hotel. They are currently undergoing major renovations. I was warned about the construction noise and it sounded like they were drilling concrete in my room. On top of that I could not access the internet at the hotel. They only offer dial-up in the rooms and mine did not work. I called the front desk, but they did not have any ideas so they sent a maintenance person to assist me. Though he was very friendly he didn't know much about computers. I also tried wireless from my room, but it was a very weak signal and could not connect. The maintenance gentleman suggested that I could connect to wireless in the lobby. In the lobby the signal was no stronger than the room and I could still not connect. I ended up going to a cafe that offered wireless several blocks from the hotel. read more

Clean but most of the finishing quite worn.
No internet connection in room, bad for business traveler.
Friendly service but I will check unless there is internet connection.

Internet access is severely limited.
A beautiful hotel only a few blocks from the city centre of Birmingham. Not quite in the heart of the city, but not far either.
