Conveniently located, adequate accommodation, efficient check in and check out, nice and comfortable surroundings and good facilities. The only negative I’ve got is that the bacon in my cheeseburger was very undercooked.

Beware of the Car Park Charges
Very nice hotel but crazy additional cost to park the car. Ended up paying £25 to park the car for 1 night. If I had known this I would never have booked this hotel as loads of other choices with no car park charges.

Fine for work
Absolutely fine. Bit noisy at night from other rooms, but that can't be helped other than thicker walls. Breakfast was included and surprisingly good.

Made to Feel Part Of A Family - H/Inn Express NEC
Naz at reception was very accommodating and caring, she really looked after me and made sure I was comfortable. Mackenzie and Euan also helped me greatly at reception and the night receptionist who's from Liverpool was also super friendly. It is a very homely relaxed hotel that serves a generous breakfast.
