Novotel Birmingham Centre
Room was ok, tv remote wasn’t fully working but that was no major issues and there were some marks on the bedding even though it was clean. Decor could do with a refresh and the room was very warm but a comfortable stay

The Arden Hotel & Leisure Club
about 10 mins to walk to resorts world, 20 mins to NEC depending on the hall! alhtough part of this is an isolated dark walk if walking alone at night. Hotel clean and friendly, only really used the gym- small but sufficient for a session. I would use it again.
