Located next to Brimingham International airport/railway station and just off the M42, the location makes this a good hotel for business meetings. The rooms were fairly standard chain hotel rooms, but everything was clean and tidy. We were offered a special room rate as part of a group event, which made the pricing cheaper than similar standard chain hotels. Wireless... More

Stayed here recently whilst at an exhibition at the NEC. As it a business orientated it ticks many boxes in terms of facilities but it is shameless in exploiting its captive NEC market and the service levels were very inconsistent. The Restaurant serves very ordinary food and is frankly appalling value. The bar food is better value but limited. The... More

Looling tired and 1980's. Clean and convenient for NEC and motorways. Spa is ok but one towel per guest policy is very irritating! Lots of MSG in the food but it was ok. Needs money spent on it. More

Difficult to find - luckily it is signposted from the main road. Staff very friendly and customer focussed, restaurant overpriced for what is basic food, but the breakfast was reasonably priced. Room was clean and tidy, but too warm, and my room was adjacent to some kind of plant room which provided constant background noise. Value-wise it is good at... More

Although the hotel is not on the NEC grounds, a 5 minute walk around the back of the hotel gets you to the NEC train station, and the rest of the walking is all covered walkways within the NEC facility. The hotel is cheaper than the other onsite hotels and has great amenities. We left the car at the hotel... More

The staff were very welcoming & helpfull. Food was good too, unfortunately the room had not been cleaned properly, bins not emptied from previous guests, kettle element covered in lime scale, made me chuckle that the drinking glasses in the bathroom had got plastic covers on them but the glasses were dirty with lip residue on the rims. The shower... More

Having spent a week at this hotel the food is the main let down. Often served cold and vegetables are dried out. It's clean and basic it's trying to act posh but has not achieved it. The walls of the rooms are a little thin, and the towels are not that soft. On the plus side it good value for... More

The rooms were comfortable and the service good. we had a bar meal in the evening which was good quality and good value for money however,the drinks were a bit expensive. Breakfast buffet was superb as was the location... More

Good place to stay for working at NEC, but you MUST specify the right room, the rooms in the south half of the hotel are not a patch on the north side. Room service menu is a bit one dimensional, unless you are into club sandwiches and burgers. Did not have the breakfast so cannot comment. More
