Conference Aston Hotel - Birmingham City
Pleasant welcome from staff. Room was small and basic but clean. Suffered a bit of noise from my neighbour with a TV turned up loud or wall paper thin or bit of both. Soap dispenser was empty. Good for the price.

Clayton Hotel Birmingham
Hotel was fine. Bathroom door on inside was old wood flaking at the bottom - not a good sight. More tea/water stations in the dining area. No fresh fruit available at breakfast. Staff in the restaurant in the evening were very helpful and evening meal was delicious
