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.
