We stayed here before flying to Nice, mainly because it was the best value and because the car stays at the hotel. The hotel looked bright and funky and it certainly was inside ! The bed was great - will ask for extra pillow next time though. The mono rail is about 10 minute walk from hotel - not sure... More

The hotel itself is absolutely adequate for a night's stay pre or post flight. Parking is right outside the front door and no trouble getting in or out of the car park. BUT. Take no notice of advice that hotel is a five minute stroll to the Airport. No it isn't. AND, the footpath ceases to exist at one point,... More

I decided to stop at the Encore hotel prior to a flight out of Birmingham Airport. The hotel was in close proximity to departures & was reasonably priced. Upon entering the room I could immediately smell that someone had been smoking in the room. I looked around the room & it hadnt been cleaned since the last guests depature. After... More

Whilst it was good walking distance to nec, the hotel itself was ok but the food wasn't as expected. Although the menu was quite tasty looking, upon trying a few things, decided it was more like microwave food and not worth the money but unless you want to try and find somewhere else to eat as nowhere is open in...

First off, if you walk from the Airport/Train Station, do not follow your iPhone maps, as it takes you in the wrong direction, use TripAdvisor's own map. The hotel is amazingly close to the NEC, via a walk through the trading estate, which is clearly marked by a painted pathway, easy to find. The greatest attribute of the hotel is... More

This hotel was booked for me and a colleague attending an exhibition at the NEC. Very close, a 5 minute walk so ideal from that point of view, unfortunately not much else positive to say. Upon arrival i was asked if i had written confirmation of the price i had booked at. I didnt. It seems they had two prices... More

Hotel and rooms were nice, clean and comfortable. Would stop here again without hesitation. My only complaint is the leather couch in the room was a little uncomfortable and the hotel was a bit noisy in the morning with doors banging but i suppose that all depends on who your neighbours are. All in all a very comfortable stay &... More

I was visiting a guest for some drinks after a concert, and I parked in the hotel car park. I asked about exiting the car park on arrival, and I was told I had to pay £7 to get the code. I decided to leave immediately, yet he refused to give me the code without paying the fee. There are... More
