Disappointed

Bed was uncomfortable, there was a cold draft and a lot of noise from the window even though it was firmly closed. Staff were friendly, location good for the NEC. Restaurant looked typically cheap, but pub next door was good.

Good points are friendly staff, handy for NEC, breakfast was ok with enough variety and room was clean overall. Not so good points, the room is tired, cracked and wobbly tiles on shower room floor, shower door didnt shut properly making it a but more of a squeeze, air con unit is right above the bed so had to turn that off. But all in all its functional if you are at an event at the NEC and there is a great pub next door - highly recommend that!

Was a bit dissapointed with the attitude of the manager when we was not aware that there would be a charge for the car park, on top of the fee to stay, should be clearer on the booking, the attitude of the manager was a little rude too, I’ve stayed at holiday inns before and never had to pay for parking so won’t be going there again due to the additional charge, it’s expensive enough staying there close to nec (due to family disability we thought would be easier to be closer to nec) won’t be going again because of this, had a better time in another holiday inn further away a lot more friendly, saying that the food was lovely there and the place was clean and tidy. Also the code to get out of the car park was a bit weird, I’d understand to use it to get in but out was So odd.
