Wonderful place. Staff are lovely and accommodating. Went above and beyond for our comfort. Breakfast didn't have many options but was delicious, so can't really fault it beyond that. Would definitely recommend as a close place to stay to the NEC.
Used as a base whilst exhibiting at a local show all weekend.
Bar & restaurant were excellent, not charging usual hotel bar & food rates either & they know how to look after their cellar when it came to what was available on the pump.
Food was amazing, so much so on the Saturday night we didn’t dine out like we usually do.
We will definitely be back!
Lovely place to stay, have no complaints at all. Smooth check in, straight to our room which was exactly as expected for what we had booked which

Ideal location for the NEC, restaurant served good food in the evening but the breakfast wasn't great in comparison.
Rooms are a bit dated as well as are parts of the hotel but provided what I needed.
We were a group of 6 staying for work, we were there 3 nights.
The hotel was in a perfect location, the food was great, but the best part was the staff .
The guy on reception especially.
He was fantastic 😊

We were welcomed, room was warm and clean. Plenty of space for the one night. Breakfast was sufficient and tasty
Good room, bar and dinner - breakfast wasn't great, very lukewarm (and soggy hash browns). But would stay again, just not have breakfast!
