What guests think

At Holiday Inn Birmingham M6, Jct7 by IHG, travellers highlight friendly staff, a convenient M6 location and useful leisure facilities like the pool, sauna and gym, while noting the building feels dated and internal walks can be long.

Rooms range from modern and comfortable to small with tight bathrooms, and several reviews report faulty or ineffective air-conditioning/heating, occasional TV issues, and noise from events or corridors. Breakfast is commonly praised, but dinner quality and the tablet-based bar ordering divide opinion, and the leisure changing areas can be grubby or the jacuzzi unavailable; there is also no lift and parking registration can be confusing. Overall, it suits road trips and value-minded stays if you can accept some quirks.

I stayed here to break up a journey from London to Scotland as I was leaving late in the evening and this was close to the M6. Room was quite large and bed comfortable, only downside was that the smart TV in the room wasn't working but that didn't bother me so just reported it when leaving. I went for a swim in the on-site pool in the morning and it wasn't too busy.

I found the room i had was very small and bathroom had very little room to move and put your stuff down . They need a shelf to put all your cosmetics. However it is reflected in the price. the pool and sauna and steam room very very good. breakfast was like a good overall buffet but items were in hot buffet were lukewarm, to be honest similar to many hotels. staff are generally polite and efficient. would use it again overall. parking is free.

Grotty looking building. No elevator, had to drag suitcases up several flights of stairs & along multiple long corridors to room. Worse nights sleep at a hotel ever, the beds are rock hard & so uncomfortable had a sore hip when I left. The bathroom was clean and modern. Wish I had booked a Premier Inn instead, will never book a Holiday Inn stay ever again.

We chose this hotel because of its proximity to the M6 but it is extremely confusing to get to off the M6 because of the road layout. When we (finally) arrived the property is ok - a little run down and no elevator (not ideal with luggage). Claims to be pet friendly but there is a £15 surcharge

Very decent hotel with very friendly staff. Rooms generally fairly clean. Bathroom very nice and modern looking. The double beds look a bit small especially for a big/tall person. And would have preferred the bed to be a bit more comfortable (but definitely manageable). Strong and reliable (free) WiFi in the room. Gym and swimming pool complimentary - loved these.

The staff at check in were just lovely and made the stay very enjoyable. We arrived late at night and so it was straight to bed. The shower unfortunately had a big clump of hair attached to the shampoo bottle which was a little off putting and not something you expect to see. However overall it was a quick and convenient stay and we were very grateful for free parking and breakfast.

Stayed here for an exam and it was a disaster - intermittent wifi issues which were unfixable meant the whole exam was cancelled leaving 100 angry people not knowing whats happening. The hotel should not agree to such arrangements knowingly with dodgy wifi cutting in and out. Promised a refund by reception for the additional night stay I no longer required as the day two exam was also cancelled but have not yet received anything. I will be following up. Aside from that, the room itself was fine

On arrival, we found the window wide open. With the outside temperature at 0° it was not at all comfortable in the room. We closed the window, and I turned on the heating, however, all it did was blow cold. I upped the temperature to 26°, still it would only blow cold.

Despite a somewhat lengthy time to check in, with room being reallocated as our original room wasn't yet ready, Friday night was a pleasant evening and good nights sleep. However, Saturday night was terrible. Unbeknownst to us, there was an all night Soul music event booked into one of the function rooms, so people talking loudly in the adjacent rooms and corridor, slamming of doors happening regularly, ALL NIGHT LONG.

Stayed in quite a few holiday inns with work so was expecting the usual high standard room's. Check-in was a little faff as the receptionist couldn't get the card handset to work for a while, had to restart a few time's. Room was clean and tidy as normal, however the thermostat dial on the shower didn't work, so the water was either scorching or scorching. Also no channels available on TV. Appreciate it was probably a localised issue to a room. Did raise at reception as arrived at midnight and gone at 8am, so sleep was more important than faffing changing rooms etc

We booked 2 rooms for 2 adults and 4 kids. We mentioned at booking we need connecting rooms. we called the hotel directly and were told no problem. Then the day before we called again and were told that's fine rooms are available and they will ensure we receive the request. On the day we arrive 15 min early and at check in told no connecting rooms were available. To make matters worse we received two rooms on different floors. One room had no sofa bed made so we had to call and wait hours to get this done. The hallways were filthy with dirty nappies and food left outside room. Never again

2 nights in a row we put a breakfast order on the door for room service. Both weren’t taken. We made reception aware first night and asked for them to check as we will be placing it again to be told ‘of course, night staff can’t do their job’. And woke up to the breakfast order sheet still on the door. Check in staff were so lovely and household cleaning staff very kind. We did enjoy our stay besides the breakfast mishap.

Everything was great with the hotel. On the final night of our stay my card declined and the bar staff took me to reception where they randomly asked if we had booked our registration in for parking? I replied no? We didnt know we had too? We were not told to on check in? To which a receptionist entered the conversation and said "you would have been told and she then pointed to cards on the desk" she was extremely unprofessional and aarogant! I informed her it was dark when we checked in and we where not inforned by the receptionist at the time. 2 other colleagues of hers apologised. This has resulted in me cancelling next weeks reservation and we have found other arrangements

Breakfast was great, we were greeted by a friendly lady who showed us around and there was plenty to eat, especially for me as I am vegan and it was refreshing to have plenty of options. Great value for money, impressed by the great price, can’t fault it!

A bit too basic for a holiday inn. The bar staff were moody during evening service and the tablet style ordering system was making them busy and unable to deal with people standing at the bar - it was a bit odd. No harm done - just odd. Lots of food delivery people in and out of reception too - just made it feel a bit low budget; without the low budget price tag!

Room outstandingly clean. Comfy bed. Hair dryer, iron and ironing board in room. Adequate size bath room, nice and bright with lovely smelling hotel hand wash / body wash. Free wifi and great size TV in room. Good choice of breakfast to choose from - plenty to fill you up for the day 😄 I would recommend this hotel and hopefully will stay again in the future.

The ordering process in the restaurant is very poor. They are trying to be clever with tablets, which then add a non discretionary service charge on. Service charges should always be discretionary, it’s an extra payment for good service. Not an upfront charge, before you have even been served, or spoken to a member of staff. I agree with tipping, but only for good service, because someone was good at their job and made you feel wanted and appreciated. Not because the hotel is too cheap to pay a good living wage, they force there customers to supplement their staffs income, good service or not.
