Weekend stay
Plenty of parking at the hotel that was free. Breakfast was plentiful and room was large. Beds were comfortable. Only thing - our room was next to the main road which was noisy during the night with cars racing up and down.

Very decent budget hotel.
Best was not so comfy but everything else was good. Also the TV is outdated. Not even a smart tv which was annoying.

Wave goodbye, say hello
I was very pleased to find a hotel for an overnight stay in Birmingham, given that most hotels were fully booked due to the Black Sabbath farewell concert in the city and other music celebrities performing this week.
I was delighted that Holiday Inn star city have availability and not far from main railway station and my place of work"

Good location for Villa Park
Great room, convenient location for Villa Park. Comfy bed and nice shower. Only issue was breakfast, very busy and little staff so lots of items unavailable. People were queuing for a table.
