Novotel is conveniently located directly across from the Birmingham International Airport and within a shuttle(tram) ride to the Train Station and National Exhibition Center (NEC).
The hotel although it appears nice when checking in, it has a restaurant, and bar in the lobby. The room was OK size, separate loo room and separate room with tub/shower and sink. It had a wet bar in the room, flat screen TV, internet, wireless (15.00 pounds per day).
Good: Bed was comfortable, you could not hear any activity from the airport, but could hear someone next door very easily in the morning. The room was a bit dirty for my taste, looked like they hadn't vaccumed the floor in a week, and there might have been a toe nail on the floor, but I didn't get close enough to do forensics or try to determine the origin of the suspected toe nail.
I decided to leave a day early and head to Oxford, but I have to say it is NOT worth the 270 pounds per night (rack rate)....At or under 125 pounds might make it worth it...
Ask them to vaccum the floor before arriving, that might save you an hour trying to conduct a CSI investigation on the contents left behind from the other guest!!
