Very good stay, great staff, only downside was the duvet was too small for the bed, it only just fit the bed without anyone in it, so once in it, we fought all night for a piece of cover.

Great hotel
We had a couple of issues that were completely down to us. My daughter is disabled and we needed an extra room card and she then locked herself out accidentally. The staff were brilliant. I always say that you can tell a hotel by the way they react to a problem and it was definitely the case here. They went above and beyond. The breakfast was lovely plenty of choice and all the food was nice. It was extremely clean and the guy doing the clearing up was really efficient and he had a great personality.

This is a great place to stay and very convenient for the NEC. Staff are all very helpful and welcoming, the hotel is spotlessly clean. Our double room was spacious, very comfortable with lovely complementary toiletries. We stay here at least twice a year and wouldn’t consider anywhere else.
