The three-and-a-half-pearl Crowne Plaza Hotel Birmingham NEC offers a convenient location for both airport travelers and business professionals. It’s within walking distance or a short drive from the Birmingham National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham Airport, Genting Arena, and Resorts World entertainment complex.

The property features a restaurant, lobby bar with a Starbucks coffee counter, meeting facilities for 300 people, and concierge services. But, the fitness center is small, parking isn’t free, and there’s no pool.

The budget Best Western Plus Carlton Suites is a good choice for business and leisure travelers who don't want to spend a lot on lodging, particularly those looking at an extended stay. The 102 suites at this pet-friendly hotel are clean and spacious -- if a bit dark and dated -- and all have kitchenettes, sleeper sofas, and free Wi-Fi. However, the bathrooms are cramped. Facility highlights include a free hot breakfast, a weekday managers reception, a heated indoor pool, a fitness center, and a guest laundry room. Rates are attractive for all that’s included, but travelers may also want to consider the mid-range Drury Inn & Suites Birmingham Southwest next door, which has similar amenities and rates that are typically just a tad higher.
