Holiday Inn Express Birmingham - Star City

Staying at the Holiday Inn Express Birmingham - Star City was a great experience overall. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the parking lot is huge—very convenient if you're arriving by car. I especially loved the breakfast: a classic English spread with fresh eggs, sausages, baked beans, and homemade jam—well-prepared and satisfying. The location is also excellent, just a short walk from the city center and close to public transit. My only minor note is that the single beds are a bit narrow at 80cm wide, which might not suit taller guests. But considering everything else—cleanliness, staff friendliness, and value for money—I’d definitely stay here again.
