Disliked: Amenities
The outside appearance and reception looked good. On arrival I was informed that parking was £25 per day, but they give you a code for 50% off, but even £12.50 is extortionate. The hotel seemed run down, room was small, I booked for 2 adults and 2 kids, they squeezed a small pull out bed in, which was to small for 2 kids. Breakfast was decent though.

Location for NEC was very convenient, welcome was warm, helpful and efficient. Room and ensuite were clean. Bed was HUGE and comfy. Combination choice of pillows gave options. Breakfast choices were excellent and loved the two sided glass surround of the dining area which enabled us to sit and look out on to the garden. Check out was 11am, an hour later than usual which made departure more relaxed .

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Room was clean and bed comfortable but the duvet was too small for two. They did provide another on request. No sound proofing in the room and the water pressure was very low. Breakfast was fine but a bit of a lottery as to whether you could find clean plates / cutlery. Seemed short staffed, the staff were helpful but seemed to be too busy. I would stay again for the proximity to the NEC and the price vs others in the area but definitely room for improvement
