Angels without wings
Absolutely above and beyond. Wasn't planning on having to stay overnight in Birmingham but I missed my flight due to being stress and all that goes with bearevment. I wasn't going to post a review until later but wanted to thank everyone at Holiday Inn Express Birmingham for a bright light on a dark day.
They did everything, even booked my taxi for this morning. They fed and watered me and just really, really gave me a much needed lift.

Check in staff tired to make me repay for the room staring the payment had been attempted this morning g but due to then changing providers it has failed. I stated I have pre paid to which they request my bank statement, when I was able to provide them with the ‘paid receipt’ and bank transaction they swiftly provided me with my room key and said nothing else. I genuinely believe this was an attempt to double charge me.

Decent for the price we paid.
Breakfast was great.
Room on the small side and the aircon in the room needed a service as we all started coughing when it was on. The windows cannot be opened, so we ended up with stale air.
