“This hotel strikes me as a practical choice, especially given its proximity to both the airport and NEC. I noticed the Marco Pierre White restaurant on-site, a detail that elevates the dining options beyond typical airport fare. A reliable shuttle service and amenities like the pool add further value, particularly for families or those with business at the NEC.”

the room was clean and that met my basic expectations.

the air conditioning in my room did not work properly. it struggled to maintain a consistent temperature, resulting in an uncomfortably warm room at night. this made it difficult to sleep well.
