| WARNING | I have just received the following warning, published in MEPMATTERS, the newsletter of the West Midlands Conservative MEP Team. | |
| Quote | Malcolm Harbour has been contacted by a number of businesses concerned about a misleading request to be included in the "European City Guide". | |
| Quote | "At first glance this looks like an official publication for the EU," said Malcolm. "But be warned, if you sign the order form, you are agreeing to be placed on a commercial website and will be charged approximately £1000 for the privilege." | |
| Reminder | There is no charge for listing on my blog, and while I run it there never will be. | Robert, blog owner |
My private blog to help visitors find the smaller hotels which cost less than City Centre hotels. (Not the official web site of any organisation.) This is because I think Birmingham is a good place to stay. This blog is not commercial and there is no charge for any hotel or visitor. For general information and first hotels listed go to OLDEST POSTS. Photo - Birmingham skyline. DISCLAIMER Most of these hotels are listed from the telephone directory and I have no information on quality.

Warning about European City Guides
Sunday, October 3, 2010
| Availability | Most hotels were booked weeks ago. But there are still spaces in some hotels away from the City Centre. I have listed only one, because I called there on Sunday lunchtime as the Conference was beginning, and was told they have space. Keep trying, especially further out. Reminder - use the Blog Archive (right hand side of the page) for August and September to find the full range of hotels. | |
| Photos | Any (thumbnail) photos on this blog, unless a hotel's own publicity, are taken by myself. You may find some of them on Wikipedia, under my nom-de-plume Robert of Ramsor. Please inform me of any other use of these. | |
