Decent Stay near the Airport

clean room working shower breakfast selection late check-in uncomfortable pillow warm room

The location was very convenient for my early flight. The walk to the airport took only about ten minutes. My room was clean and the shower worked very well. The breakfast had a good selection of items.

I was told check-in was from 3.00pm. My room was not ready until 5.20pm. This made me rush before my concert at bp pulse arena. The pillows were also uncomfortable and the room was too warm.

Convenient Nec Access

easy parking friendly staff clean room

The location was great with a short walk to the nec. Check-in was quick and easy with friendly staff available at all times. I found parking easy to organise and reasonably priced. The room was clean and contained everything i needed for a short stay.

The communal areas felt quite cold and the bar had limited beer options.

Rooms

9/10

The spacious room had necessary amenities for coffee and tea. It offered comfortable beds with fresh linen and good soundproofing. The provided kettle was useful.

Dining

8/10

The on-site food was available at reasonable prices and offered good value. I noticed breakfast included several options, though staff needed reminders to replenish items. The dessert with beer was well-priced.

Location

The hotel provides convenient access to the nec in just five minutes on foot. The proximity to the airport is advantageous, with clear signage from the train station. The bp pulse charging station is also nearby.
