The only problem was that we had hoped to walk to the NEC but there was no walking route. The complex is just not set up for that. Despite only being 15 minutes we ended up walking across car parks, alongside roads with no footpath, on grass verges, even over a fence. Can't something be done? (107115764)

positive comments As above - very nice meal in the evening

positive comments Checking in procedure efficient and informative Room excellent and extremely quiet, even though close to airport. Excellent location for visit to NEC. Majority of staff were friendly and efficient. Breakfast was good - with wide range of choice (first time I've ever been offered vegetarian sausages with breakfast). By far the best Premier Inn we have stayed in!
negative comments Bar staff - even when quiet, waited a long time to be served. Although our orer was correct, due to being foreign one gentleman got both of his drinks incorrect!

positive comments Reception was very clean, bright and welcoming. Room itself was well laid out and clean. Extra security doors were a good idea so that people couldn't enter the coridoor unless they had a room key.
negative comments General cleanliness of the bathroom was poor with a dirty toilet, bath soakaway and edges of bath. Breakfast was slightly overcooked, hard fried eggs and no toast available. Need more information in the room regarding opening times of the restaurant.

would still reccommend hotel as Premier Inns are excellent value for money and you can't fault them - beat many expensive hotels without any problems (107210489)

positive comments room spacious & spotless- bed amazing, very comfortable & a generous size breakfast excellent value for money
negative comments staff did there job but you got the feeling that they weren't very happy.There was little or no eye contact & they very rarely smiled (not very good customer service with regards to making you feel welcome) - Overall efficient service but not welcoming atmosphere

positive comments Clean rooms, excellent showers, nice fragrance in the rooms. Layout and deco very suiting.
negative comments No breakfast included in price, £115 is steep for a value Hotel esp when the Queen Anne room at the Hilton is only £135 with everything!! No internet!! Bed quite hard and join in the middle was uncomfortable.Unfriendly staff, especially behind the bar and breakfast room. Set Breakfast for £7 and no other choice isnt good some people would like the option of just paying for fruit and cereal and not a full English which was cold and scarce. No one asked us if we had a satisfactory stay when checking out!! Noise in carpark for a lengthy period of time after 1am with no Security to solve.

Margaret from Melrose, GB (Mature couple) 03 September 2008

Excellent check in staff welcoming and very helpful. Room clean and modern only small niggle iron on a different floor and no trouser press. The waiting staff in restaurant were very helpful and it is clear all are happy in their work. A real gem of a hotel. I had not wanted to go there as I thought it would be cheap the first time but I have stayed more than once at this hotel and have recommended it to many people. (107205072)

positive comments shower separate from bath, trouser press, iron and ironing board, wifi internet, dvd/tv and music (not at this hotel necessarily)

positive comments Like premier inns in general. They do what they say on the box.
negative comments Only bad points were not being able to get tables for food and not being told that it was advisable to book in the morning. On last night they had run out of lots of dishes and Rose Wine!!!! reception brill. Restaurant couple of them could do with being a bit more understanding.

negative comments My stay was spoilt by the facility for smokers who stand under the lobby outside where most residents can hear them, I was kept awake for 2 hours during the night listening to their drunken shouting. I assume they bought their drinks in the hotel bar. Very disappointing as everything else was excellent will not be using again!

Karen from Doncaster, GB (Young couple) 20 December 2007

I would not stay @ the Hotel again unfortunately I we were unable to sleep due to the noise of the other Residents. The Bar was a disaster as the Till would not open and when it was fixed the Barperson rang in the drinks incorrectly 2 x drinks costing some £550.00! The bar was not stocked and all I had asked for was a Baileys and a Tia Maria! The whole process took 20 mins although we laughed about it re saying it was like being in a dessert! This is a very good hotel serving the NEC but lacks the fundimantal basics. (97221744)
