Room tips

Getting to the airport, the local Arrow cars provided a great service to and from the terminal(Thomas17755)

Service can be a bit slow but is more than compensated by the friendliness of the staff(chunkymunky74)

"Excellent Stay"

2026-10-19

I had a very early check in so I booked a room/parking package at the Radisson as it was so close to the airport. I struggled to find a parking space as there was a large conference on but the next morning and on my return there were plenty of spaces so this was probably just a one off. The very nice girl on reception gave me a room upgrade to a junior suite due to my Radisson Rewards. The room on the top floor was huge, with a large bed and a sette and arm chair in front of the full length window with excellent views of the surrounding countryside and the incoming planes. I spent a pleasant couple of hours reading with a drink in the bar before a good dinner in the restaurant before heading for an early night. I left early the following morning before breakfast, so I can't comment on that but wish I had been here for longer to enjoy this pleasant, modern comfoable hotel.

"Excellent Customer Service!"

2026-10-14

Excellent Customer Service from Kelly Willis and Chris Boss. I have stayed at this hotel a couple of times and on both occasions the ladies who have been on the reception when I checked in were very welcoming and friendly. The room I stayed in - A premier room, was a good size and had everything that I required for my stay. I ordered room service and the lady - Kelly, who delivered the food to my room was an absolute delight - Such a positive and friendly manner!

"Excellent nights stay for the money."

2026-10-10

Cant really fault this hotel for travel lodge money. Brilliant room with all mod cons great easy parking. Restaraunt was actually ok if expensive. But love the light and airy bar after a days work and long drive. Staff were on the money here and you can see this is a smooth ship and we wouldnt hesitate to stay again if using the airport.

"As usual first rate"

2026-10-08

We have used this hotel probably half a dozen times and we have always had a good experience. We arrived last night just after 11pm after driving across from Birmingham Airport, there were plenty of parking spaces available. Check in was very quick and we were upgraded to a superior runway view room. Didn't hear a thing all night and had an excellent sleep on a very comfortable bed. Breakfast as usual was very good. My wife has a gluten and dairy intolerance and is extremely well catered for at this hotel.
