National Forest, England hotel rooms at the Independent

"The room was clean and comfortable. I stopped one night with my daughter and we both slept well. We didn't take up the food option on this stay, but there was options to have food delivered in from specials offers showing around the lobby. "

"Love this hotel. Fantastic location, great beds and rooms. Staff are lovely and has great facilities. Cost was more than reasonable. Loved it and would stay again."

"Nice hotel in a very convenient location."

"The parking situation was confusing on some sites it states that disabled parking is free (which is one of the reasons we picked this hotel) and when we got to the hotel they then told me that we had to pay for parking. Luckily the staff did not charge us at their discretion. The breakfast options were not as varied as advertised (only choice of eggs was scrambled and highly peppered, no mushrooms, fried tomatoes etc)but what was offered was well cooked. The rooms were very clean but could do with a small fridge for medication or items purchased that need to be kept cool. But the staff are really friendly and seem to be happy and treat patrons very well. "

"Great hotel. Love the larger rooms for families without the need for someone sleeping on a sofa bed "

"Polite friendly helpful staff, clean spacious room, good choice for breakfast. Walkable from New Street station, close to canals eating area (sealife/lego), just by the old part (library) and easy to walk to Bullring"

"Modern, clean and comfortable "

"Room was a good size - pool area was nice (only a couple of people in there). Able to use jacuzzi, sauna and steam room without any hassle of too many people. We didn’t eat in the restaurant as the food choices didn’t suit both of us. A fancy burger on the restaurant menu would have been a good option as we could all have eaten. Bar food was great. "

"Breakfast was fabulous and the host Sylvia was excellent."
