We always stay here for the UK Games Expo at the NEC. It is the perfect location as we can get to the Expo in five minutes and we are also close to the airport as well as Resorts World. The staff at the hotel are always very friendly and helpful. The room is really clean and quite roomy. We had three people sharing the room and yet we never felt cramped. WE would definitely recommend the Crowne Plaza hotel.

Great location to go go to L G arena”

Very clean and lots of little extras

We enjoyed our stay very much its the perfect location to go to shows at N E C and L G arena also ideal for overnight stay if flying from Birmingham airport. They kept the bar and coffee shop open late so the people coming from the shows could still get a drink. The breakfast was excellent lots of variety also cooked food replaced very quickly so always nice & hot Will certainly stay again

Concert stopover”

Stayed for one night after a concert at the NEC Arena. Although a bit expensive the location is excellent for the arena, just a short walk away. Although we didn't eat in the hotel we did check out the menu and thought it looked reasonable, not as expensive as we expected and a good choice. Yes it is pricey but for convenience if you are visiting the NEC you cannot beat it.

Nice Hotel and Great Location to NEC”

This is my 2nd stay at the hotel as it has good location (10 minutes walk to NEC & train station) and provides good breakfast. But this time when I checked in the lady who handled me see my passport and say “you’re not registered! I couldn’t find your name.” in unfriendly manner. Without doing any extra effort. Even after I show her my voucher from Agoda. She said the same thing. Imagine having this kind of service after 24 hours flight. After I pointed out my name on the voucher (looks like it her 1st time seeing Agoda Voucher) then she said: let me check with (I forgot whom she mentioned). She went in to the office, found my name and suddenly she put on this nice attitude. The cleaning service was also strange. After 1st night they didn’t refill the coffee and milk. On my 4th (last night) they didn’t wash the cup and tea spoon. I still could see my lipstick stain from the morning. Nor empty the trash bin. This would be ok service for a hostel

Easily acessible form the motorway with on site parking and no aircaraft or motor way noise.
The sofa beds are only really suitable for a single person or 2 very young children. This could have been made clearer fromthe outset.

The hotel is easily acessible form the motor way and has gated parking on site. Despite close proximity to the motor way and airport there wasn't any noise form aircraft or the motorway. All communal and private rooms were very well presented and clean. The restaurant was excellent and the breakfast choice and quality superb.

The hotel staff were very helpful and courteous. Questions were answered promptly, we had booked a room for 3, and the room was set up for us, but there was only 2 cups and glasses. An extra cup and glass were brought to us within minutes. The only negative to our stay was a disappointing meal in the bar on Saturday evening, and , not a fault of the hotel, the rude and arrogant behaviour of the Emirates cabin crew who use the hotel as a meeting point.

Very happy with the hotel however I requested a accessible room for my mobility. ”

Unhappy with booking almost a year and a half early not to get a room to meet my mobility needs. The hotel said that this was the fault of the booking agency as they had not passed on this request and they showed me proof of this. I shall be complaining to Agoda for such a mistake. The hotel and staff were great the breakfast was average at best. We would use this hotel in future.

Hotel easy to find with good secure parking. Reception staff pleasant and helpful. Very relaxing, comfortable public areas. Restaurant has good varied menu but a little pricey for us southerners. Breakfasts at £14 to £18. Rooms very comfortable but the bed in our room (348) was extremely soft and we spent all night trying not to roll into one another.

Double charged, and money still hasn't been refunded ”

Until now my money has not been refunded by the hotel. I had paid in full when completed the booking with Agoda in January 2019, only to have my credit card being charged by the hotel on the day after I checked out (credit card charged on the 20th April 2019). Agoda has confirmed with the hotel that the hotel had made a mistake and my money was supposed to be refunded 5 days ago. Until now nothing has been done. This is very disappointing. Agoda should have been more proactive in pursuing this matter since I have been using Agoda for years.

Crown Plaza quality

Hotel was very quite as first working day after the New Year holiday, however for a 4 star hotel to have the restaurant closed due to this was poor & only limited bar food menu was available. Car park charge of £10 for residents is a bit cheeky and really should be added to the room cost so clear at the time of booking rather than as such an obvious claw back.
