Convenient and comfortable place to stay for our visit to The Running Show at the NEC. The hotel has everything you need, as do the rooms. Found the staff to be helpful too. Possibly the only thing I'd like to see improved is that the breakfast options for non-mainstream diets (vegan, gluten free) are a bit ordinary. You won't starve but there's nothing all that appealing either.

Overall: very good. Convenient location; excellent parking (only £10); great staff; spacious room and bed; good Aircon/heating; super clean; easy check-in and check-out; good menu; generally in god condition. Could Do Better: like all chain hotels, doesn’t quite hit the mark in some areas. Desk chair wouldn’t fit under desk because of arms; no integrated USB connectors in power points; power only on one side of the bed; and the caged shampoo/conditioner etc makes you feel like a criminal and was so beryl placed as to be inaccessible while showering. Bad: charging extra for room service PLUS an additional £3.50 “tray charge” is offensive to travellers. Surely all room service involves a tray? Just build it into the price! Despite the little things, I’d stay there again.

Fantastic spot for gigs at the arena which is literally next door. Sadly the furniture has seen better days and all the wood fittings were very chipped and scratched. Breakfast was excellent and staff really helpful

The parking is a joke. Yes it was stated that parking would cost £10 but it didn’t say where you would pay. There is a parking terminal right outside the hotel which you have to walk past to get to the hotel so we just paid there, an extra £20 at that! No reimbursement or anything from the hotel. Ridiculous
