The Arden Hotel & Leisure Club
Great stay ideal for the NEC for us. Not 4 stars because we were in room 109 front facing and at intervals you could hear trains going along, even with the windows shut. It got quite frustrating.

Holiday Inn Express Birmingham - City Centre by IHG
Clean room. Small for 3 people with little room for manoeuvre. Need to be okay with lifts, as 17 floors. Good breakfast included. Friendly staff and in an easy position to reach the train station and the city centre.

Redwings Lodge Wolverhampton
Room was spacious and clean. Only issue no breakfast on offer. Maybe due to some works being done. But great location. In City Centre by the football ground. Good price too

ibis Styles Birmingham NEC and Airport
The reception staff were professional and welcoming. The hotel is undergoing a major renovation (transformation) project, for example the existing bar and dining area are rather tired. The parking was expensive - £15 for 24 hours! We did not appreciate their cashless policy.
