Average

Main areas of the hotel are nice. Bed was comfortable. Rooms need updating. The office chair in my room was filthy and covered in stains. Breakfast is very basic. I am intolerant to both Gluten and Dairy and there was next to nothing for me to eat. Ate in the hotel one evening. Food OK but service very poor. Meal brought to the table without any cutlery. Staff then all disappeared and we spent 10 minutes wandering around looking for something to eat the meal with!

Hotel a great distance from NEC and few electri. C

No usb sockets near bed to charge phone, in fact the only socket i could make work was the socket the electric kettle was plugged into. Very poor. Very limited choice of tv channels very few of the free ones available in fact there seem to be mor children's channels than other channels. Only one side of the bed can turn off the room lights Unless you arrive by car its about a 40 minute walk from the station or the nec
