Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant, with comfortable rooms and friendly staff. However, there were some cleanliness issues in the bathrooms that needed attention. The service was excellent with staff going above and beyond to assist with any requests. The location was convenient for accessing nearby events and attractions, although limited accessibility by foot. The dining experience offered great quality food, but the prices were a bit high. The facilities were modern and well-maintained, enhancing the overall stay.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and had everything I needed, from air conditioning to a spacious desk to work. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the decaffeinated coffee was a nice touch. The service was excellent overall, with attentive and friendly staff making my stay enjoyable. The location was perfect for my needs, being very near the airport and also convenient for events at the NEC. The dining experience was fantastic, with high-quality ingredients and good value for money. The facilities were top-notch, especially the outdoor seating at the bar. One minor downside was the distance from the city center, but overall, it was a fantastic stay.
The hotel fulfilled the request for twin beds without a hitch, but the room had a very wet carpet and was extremely noisy when the windows were open. The staff was overall helpful and attentive, except for one staff member. The location was convenient for the airport and events but noisy due to the nearby dual carriageway. The dining was not included in the stay but offered reasonably priced delicious options. Facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay.
This hotel offers convenient access to NEC events and the airport, with a friendly and eager-to-help staff. However, the noise from open windows can be bothersome, and room reservations may encounter hiccups.
The hotel is ideally situated for NEC events and offers a pleasant outdoor seated area at the bar. The rooms are comfortable and kept clean, but some noise from the tunnel under the railway line can be disruptive. The friendly and attentive staff provide excellent service with a touch of humor, except for the gym tool manager who was less welcoming.
The hotel offers a convenient location near the airport and NEC events, with excellent breakfast choices, but the air conditioning in the rooms needs improvement.
The hotel has a great location near the airport and NEC events. The rooms feature very comfortable beds but need better cleaning in the bathrooms. The staff provides excellent service, except for one member. Dining offers fabulous food at reasonable prices. The free return to the railway station is a plus for paying guests.
