Pros: Gables Nest is a small family run Guest House ideally located for the NEC and airport. Marilyn, the owner, made us feel very welcome. A family of 4 travelling with 2 small children, we stayed in the family room which was spacious and comfortable with ample hot water. Breakfast was lovely, well cooked and hot. Marilyn even asked my children what they would like the night before so requests could be met. Marilyn recommended a restaurant/pub within walking distance to have a meal (SpiceBuffet) which served Asian, Oriental and European cuisine. Would recommended the Gables Nest and hope to stay again.

7.1 Good
Pros: Really clean and tidy Sweet rooms
Cons: The fact that they took the money before our stay when it states that the money is taken on arrival !... due to other people attending tropics event they must have assumed we were going to cancel the stay so took the money before hand and we got no notification so I’m yet to ask for a receipt Breakfast was very rushed and they were tidying around us constantly Stood there ti make our decision on breakfast Decaf coffee was really weak and didn’t taste good and the eggs could have been cooked for longer and mine was brought to the table 4 mins before my sisters not even together No hot water running in the sink Sorry just lots of things added up
5.0 Okay
Pros:
Cons: Was surprised to find it was an actual house on an actual estate! That's why people can't find it. Felt like a very basic B&B. No where to sit so had to go out. Ok if you just want to rent a room. Not really a boutique hotel :(

Pros: Clean and comprehensive guest information folder with excellent genuine comments re local restaurants. Warm welcome by staff member. Breakfast facilities looked good but as we left at 6 a m to catch early flight did not partake. Very close to airport and staff arranged taxi as part of the service.
Cons: Very untidy exterior grounds, friend dropping us off said it looked a bit rough. Room small and bed too low. Not staffed all the time not ideal, we did arrive 15 minutes before indicated arrival time and waited a further 15 minutes as staff member held up in traffic - genuinely apologetic. Bed was too low to the ground.
8.8 Excellent
Pros: Great instructions for a late check-in, nice cosy room and clean. Excellent breakfast in the morning.
Cons: The carpets look a little tired and old/stained hence gives the impression of being dirty. May be they can uphaul them for a brighter and breezier feel to the room.

Pros: The location was we need at the time. Breakfast was OK was a self help service.

Pros:
Cons: Only one towel No plug in sink
3.8 Mediocre
Pros: I certainly did like that I survived the stay at that place.
Cons: BLACK MOULD is literally everywhere: above your head, in front of your eyes, behind your bed, under your pillow, etc. If you are up for new impressions, or if you want to get new experiences, or if you are just interested in fungi, this is a good place to visit. The place has a very characteristic damp smell, so travellers having allergies or problems with lungs should definitely not stay there. I wonder how booking.com or the responsible authorities let this place function as an accommodation place.
8.3 Excellent
Pros: Great value for money and nice/accommodating staff.
Cons: I think there may have been a mix up with the rooms as we requested/booked the guest house garden hut but it didn't matter too much we got a room inside the guest house.

Pros:
Cons: Some beds are really old and create back pain...
5.4 Okay
Pros: Value for money, friendly staff, free parking place.
Cons: The facilities of my room are very basic. There were few areas of the ceiling had leaking water before, and huge mouldings on the ceiling. No door for the shower room, only a foldable plastic screen, and the screen broken.
4.0 Okay
Pros: Good location for Birmingham Airport
Cons: Room looked very ‘tired’ and is in need of renovation.
2.5 Mediocre
Pros: Nothing
Cons: The beds were dirty, room was dirty. No breakfast of staff around on the second morning. Almost certain my son was bitten by bed bugs whilst we were there - NEVER again!
