Stayed here whilst attending an exhibition at the NEC, located within 5 minutes from the NEC and train station and lots of parking spaces. Staff were so friendly and attentive and the room was lovely, spacious and very clean! Would 100% stay here again.
We had a great stay here on a busy weekend with lots of guests because of an event at the NEC! Staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming, our room was wonderful and we were very thankful for the AC! Great location for walking to the NEC, and very quiet away from the main thoroughfare
The restaurant staff were slow the meals were wrong but a beautiful hotel to stay in reception staff were fab and very friendly and welcoming definitely be back

Ok for one night stay catching flight. Room was large for 3 adults. Very warm. Food average.
Had a evening meal - very nice and not too pricey either

Liked: Staff & service
Due to the refurbishment works the bar/dining area was not great & limited menu choices for dinner. Could do with signs showing which doors to use to enter the hotel. Staff were helpful & room comfortable.
Good wifi, approachable staff, the room was not very clean, the floor was very dusty and others peoples things left under sofas and beds. Bed nice, bathroom clean and nice toiletries available.
