Leonardo Royal Hotel Birmingham
The room was nice however the bathroom door needs replacing as there is terrible water damage that lets the look and feel of the bathroom down. Staff seemed friendly. Breakfast was cold , even though I selected it straight from the hot counter. Beautiful Christmas tree and Christmas display on entry ...
