A Good Find Near the NEC

i found the reception staff very helpful and friendly upon arrival. the room was spacious, with tea, coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits, and bottled water included. the swimming pool was clean, and i enjoyed my time using those facilities before check out!

the curtains were thin, and doors slamming throughout the night disturbed my sleep. a request for tea brought only uht milk pots to the room initially, frustrating. more information in the room would be useful.

The breakfast had a very good choice, and the quality seemed excellent. the hotel is close to the nec, and the taxi service was reliable. We used it this year on our visit.

The hairdryer in my room looked dated. the hotel feels like it needs a good refresh. It gave the impression of being a bit shabby.
