The Grand Hotel Birmingham
Fantastic Hotel. Great location, Lovely room. A great Bar, but didn’t stay in there long as it was just way too expensive. Lovely staff. Such a shame about the guest prices, I can’t comment on the Breakfast, again it was extortionately priced, but no issue as there are amazing local dining options ...
