Have stayed here many times over the years. Staff always excellent, good breakfast offering, clean rooms and comfy beds, handy location for the NEC and dog friendly. The reception areas are fine, but the bedrooms and hallways are looking a bit tired and could do with a refurb or refresh.

The hotel was clean and tidy, we had a good stay. We had a family room which I will say is tiny, was a tight fit for the three of us and we found the master bed quite hard, but could be preference... Overall good stay, breakfast was very good.
