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.

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.

Overnight stay
Overall our stay at the hotel was satisfactory . The room was on the small side and despite wanting twin beds we were only able to separate the beds by a few inches because of the headboard/bedside table fixture. The room was clean , bed and pillows comfortable. We had supper in the restaurant which unfortunately was not satisfactory- took a long time to arrive and when it did chips were lukewarm and the vegetables inedible . Breakfast on the other hand was very good with plenty of helpful staff .

Best example of the big chains
Great experience at check-in, with a quick and friendly welcome and good advice on places to eat. The family in front of us had very boisterous kids that the reception team were very tolerant of and kept the parents reassured. Help with parking machine was good and check out was quick and easy too. Breakfast was excellent for a buffet service and the options were complete with cooked and continental options. Toaster worked! It was also very reasonably priced
