ibis budget Birmingham Centre
Accommodation quality roughly in line with what you would expect for the price. Basic facilities but functional. Aircon didn't work so room was a little cooler than ideal. Room power was cut in the morning. Basic breakfast with a small range of options. Friendly staff.
