Top hotels in Eastside
Clayton Hotel Birmingham
Room was clean. A little small for 3 people but we made do as 1 night. Could have done with another chair or 2 - there was just one at the desk. Parking is nearby 5-8min walk. Would be good if hotel provided clear directions for walking from the car park to the hotel.
