Staying Cool at Rotunda was a fantastic experience. The views from my apartment were simply amazing, especially over the Birmingham skyline. The apartment was well-appointed and modern, which added to the comfort of my stay. However, there were a few downsides. I found the shower screen quite small, and it made a bit of a mess every time I showered. Overall, I can't wait to return!
