Going to see Aston Villa vs Liverpool in Birmingham. Flying in via Ryanair. Going over on the Friday coming back on Sat night.
Now, I haven't a clue regarding the layout of Birmingham. Anyone able to suggest a decent hotel that is preferably handy to the centre of Birmingham and also convenient for getting to and from the airport and to Villa Park.
Birmingham airport also has a mainline connection to New street which is handy - you just need to get the free bus connection from the terminal to the station. They used to have a handy mono-rail but this was stopped for some reason.
