We were visiting the NEC for the Top Gear MPH show. Booked this hotel via ICH website and paid £60 per room for 4 rooms. The only niggles were I booked 2 standard rooms and two twins. Got 4 twins!!! The expresses are a bit of a standard fare, don't expect a Intercontinental. Its not that close to the NEC... more

It was very easy to find, park and check in. I found the wireless internet and desk area very useful. The pub next door was useful for an evening meal and I had a good nights sleep without disturbance. Overall I was very happy considering its basic of the basic more

Firstly we tried to check in at 2.30pm but no rooms were available and there had been a note put on the computer that we were going to be checking in after 11pm- a complete lie! The hotel itself looked shabby and very dated, i was hoping that the twin non-smoking room that i was paying £140 would be a... more

Pro: Good, modern budget hotel. Clean with helpful friendly staff. regular free buses to NEC. Con: Proximity to Motorway. Lack of drawer shelf space and a few little niggles: e.g ran out of butter at breakfast. Also unexpected parking charges - my fault - missed note on website and booking confirmation. more

Does what it says on the tin. Efficient check in with a clean, comfortable and well equipped room. We were staying one night and departing from Birmingham Airport early the next day. The hotel arranged for a taxi to the airport which only cost £7 for six of us. The room rate was very competitive and would therefore recommend this... more

Appearances can be deceptive, and from the outside, this place looks quite nice. Unfortunately that's about all its' got going for it. The room smelled of sweat/body odour, there was black mould around the shower base, you get charged £15 if you want to connect to wi-fi, and you get charged each time you leave the car park. You get... more

We booked a large group of delegates at this hotel for an NEC event. Problems were: - Pre-arrival. Invoicing and billing were shambolic: we received no invoice, and then were told we could not stay unless we paid in advance by credit card, one day before. One of my staff was spoken to very rudely and considerable time was taken... more

Spent a Saturday night here as part of a large group. I found the hotel to be well maintained an in excellent decorative order. The staff were very friendly, helpful and coped with our large party very efficiently. The hotel was spotless and rooms of a high standard for the price range.The continental breakfast was well stocked and had a... more

Far better than I expected after reading previous reviews. Lovely non-smoking room. No noise at all overnight and extremely clean room. Reception staff extremely pleasant and helpful. Very good continental breakfast included. Taxi fares to NEC (about one mile away) very expensive if not pre-booked, about £8. Parking £6 for 24 hours, which I didn't consider to be too bad.... more
