Red Roof Inn Birmingham South

10/10 Excellent

"I came during severe weather for a music festival - the hotel had had an unexpected influx of people and i still had a pretty decent stay! Staff were very friendly and helpful at all hours and I was travelling alone to an area i've never been to before and felt safe. The room was clean and as expected for the price, truly. They didnt have conditioner, i needed to ask for extra toilet paper during my stay, and the shower did not get hot at any point but honestly, those are all pretty minor and expected things. id absolutely recommend & stay here again myself."
