This is a great location for the NEC, which was a 4 mile drive only. Very friendly staff, particularly the lady serving breakfast during our stay 5th and 6th September 25. She was really nice, friendly, chatty and helpful. We will definitely stay here again

I liked the shower. Room was a bit dingy and lacking in atmosphere. TV was not working (Room 125). I went to reception who changed the batteries in the remote but the TV still did not work. The ground floor room looked out over the car park but there were no nets so I had to keep the blind down until I was dressed. Mattress was not the most comfortable although it was OK.

The hotel was very nice and comfortable. What i did not like was the hidden parking charge of £10 for overnight parking. Hotel informed me if i had booked direct there would be no parking charge. You should highlight the charge and not put it in the small print.

The property is getting a little bit tired now, however, it's relatively cheap to stay and very convenient for the NEC. Food is good and staff very helpful with easy to follow procedures. Countryside and views are amazing, considering it's on a main road. Bathrooms could also do with a bit of an upgrade, but overall, good place to stay.

Nice buildings, excellent friendly staff, very good food for evening meal and the room was good untill you went into the bathroom which had mould on the silicone, a cracked toilet pan and a smashed shower surround. A shame about this as the rest of the break was spot on. Thank you.
