Spotlessly clean, great location. The price is very reasonable for the comfort and level of attentiveness at the hotel. We ate on site and the food was excellent, we ordered late night room service as well which was prompt and high quality.

Clayton Hotel Birmingham
The only issue was the parking It’s a 10 minute walk (min) and with luggage it’s not brilliant unfortunately. Make sure you park in B4 parking to get your discount code otherwise it’s expensive!
