Premier Inn Solihull South (M42)

Very warm welcome and everything as it should be. Swift service both at the hotel and Beefeater next door. Good location for motorway but it’s not in Solihull- it’s in Shirley which is a distance from Solihull itself. No problem to us though.

Hotel is clean, secure, staff friendly and efficient and bedrooms are are clean with comfortable beds. Large easily accessible carpark is free. Breakfast in the adjacent Beefeater is excellent, whether a full English, or Continental, there's a great choice on offer. The Beefeater is looking very dated and could do with a refurbishment, but the staff are friendly and efficient even though it seems there's going to be big changes for them very soon as the whole restaurant is only going to be available to hotel guests and not the general public.

Stayed here along with a colleague while we attended a conference at a nearby location. The rooms are standard Premier Inn layouts but I think they have an issue with the air con here as rooms had all been provided with electric fans which isn’t ideal. We had breakfast both days which you have to book a time slot for which can be annoying. It seems this was nothing to do with physical capacity in the dining area as it’s very large, it just seemed to be they have very few staff. The service was very slow on the first day but better the second. We also had drinks in the bar and ate there on one night, the food was good and service ok. The issue about having to book a time also exists on an evening and despite the restaurant being half empty we only just got booked in. Fairly standard in terms of the accommodation but a bit lacking in terms of the food service.

This hotel was a great find for the price range I wanted, especially given its location close to the NEC! Clean and quiet, with the promise of that Premier Inn sleep on one of their great beds! Although advertised as having no air conditioning, upon arrival there was a freestanding fan already cooling my room - a very, very welcome addition! Staff at the hotel and restaurant were all very friendly and efficient. Literally, my only complaint was that there was no orange juice at breakfast! Although disappointing, it wouldn't stop me returning...

When travelling north it is good to find a hotel close to the motorway that doesn’t charge an arm and a leg. This hotel suited well and although the car charger kept needing resetting (not fault of hotel) we coped. The manger was so friendly and welcoming and whilst the rooms are dated and with no air conditioning, at least fans were provided. We had two different rooms over two stays, each very different - one bed was comfortable whilst the other was like a stone. Good value for money, and you get what you pay for. Dinner in the Beefeater was another story, though breakfast there was good.

Hotel was easy to find with plenty of parking. Easy check in with friendly staff. Room was slightly larger than expected and was clean, bright and comfortable. Good night's sleep with very minimal ambient noise. Restaurant/pub affiliated was very nearby, with friendly staff and was good value too.

We always try to use Premier Inn as the accesible rooms are normally good, the service is great and friendly, but the narrow bed made the stay a little uncomfortable and meant we couldn't get a good night's sleep.

10/10 lovely staff helpfull all the way throughout, very peaceful and in a nice area i’ll definitely be staying again thanks to all the staff / clean tidy rooms Good wifi and condiments - tea/coffe in room Clean towels and fresh bedding room service if we wanted it
