Last weekend we were at Grand Designs Live at the NEC, Birmingham (more to follow because I have way too many things to share). Since we hadn\u2019t been last year we decided we would go for two days this year. When Travelodge offered for me to stay at one of their Birmingham hotels<\/a> – I snapped at the chance to stay at the Travelodge Birmingham Airport hotel since it\u2019s right around the corner from the NEC.<\/p>\n

\"Travelodge<\/p>\n

The hotel is next door to the Airport – in fact you can see a control tower and airplanes from the back of the hotel. Our room was at the front of the hotel and we could see the A45 from our window. Despite the fact that there was a lot of traffic, the soundproofing was great and whilst yes you could hear traffic it wasn\u2019t loud when the windows were closed. It certainly didn\u2019t stop us sleeping that\u2019s for sure! And I didn’t hear any of the planes either.<\/p>\n

On Friday night we decided to head out to Solihull so didn’t stay at the hotel for an evening meal because we wanted to go to the cinema. Caught a bus from the end of the road which took us into middle of Solihull which was very handy. We walked through the shopping centre where we did some window shopping (all the shops were closed). Hubby wasn’t very hungry so I dragged him to Wagamamas where I had some chicken teriyaki with rice. Was very yum! We then went to see The Martian and it was great. I would definitely recommend it – a must see!<\/p>\n

Breakfast<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Saturday morning we had breakfast at the hotel before heading out to Grand Designs Live. There was a selection of cereals, cooked breakfast, toast, croissants and yogurts so plenty of choice. I opted for the cooked breakfast! There is nothing better than a cooked breakfast when someone else is cooking (and washing up!).<\/p>\n
