Great location for visiting the NEC. Lovely hotel, clean and spacious with friendly staff. Our room, a basic double, was clean and roomy, great shower. Good Wi-Fi. Good breakfast and a good variety of choice for evening meal. Also a pub within minutes walking distance. Great value for money.

Great hotel

We had a couple of issues that were completely down to us. My daughter is disabled and we needed an extra room card and she then locked herself out accidentally. The staff were brilliant. I always say that you can tell a hotel by the way they react to a problem and it was definitely the case here. They went above and beyond. The breakfast was lovely plenty of choice and all the food was nice. It was extremely clean and the guy doing the clearing up was really efficient and he had a great personality.

I thought that they were very respectful towards customer needs, nothing was too much trouble. Good breakfast, paying for parking was a little too much, but I suppose the cost goes to maintaining the property.

Ok

We have stayed here before. Its a pleasant modern hotel and breakfast is included in the price. They do serve food but there is a very good restaurant about 3.mins walk away. The discounted price for paring is £12.50. Our only problem was i had prepaid for the hotel but the receptionist said i hadnt .There was short queue so i didn't immediately query this and i paid. When i checked my invoice from Hotels .com i had paid. On my return to the reception another receptionist refunded my payment. This was not a problem for me but it could be for someone on a tight budget as it takes a few days for the refund

The service in the restaurant was appalling- non existent. When we FINALLY received our food, it was uncooked! We ordered two meals and both had to be sent back. In the end we received a refund and we were forced to eat elsewhere.
