ibis budget Birmingham Centre
We'd stayed before so knew what to expect. No frills, clean bed for the night. For a place to crash it's good value.

Some dust/cobwebs in some areas of the hotel but room was clean. Bed comfortable. Some staff not so friendly as others. Reasonably priced food and drink. We had a good meal in the bar and enjoyable breakfast. Spa facilities good.
