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

Ok for one night stay catching flight. Room was large for 3 adults. Very warm. Food average.
While renevations are ongoing the stay was somewhat muted by the availability to relax anywhere in the hotel rather than the room.
I cannot fault the staff or their efforts.
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.
Does what it says on the tin. Accommodation basic but clean and comfortable. Bar and food menu a tad like a works canteen and food nurtured in the microwave. But ok overall for a pre-flight stay.
