The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms at a great airport rate, although they need an upgrade. The service is hit or miss, but the location, especially for airport needs, is a major draw. Dining is affected by current conditions. Overall, it's a convenient stay for airport and NEC visits.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of great experiences and a few disappointments. The rooms were exceptionally clean, with good toiletries and lovely soft towels. However, the early morning traffic noise when the sofa bed was used was a bit of a downside, especially considering the price.

Staying at the hotel was a mix of comfort and frustration. While my newly refurbished room was beautifully decorated and cozy, the lack of a bathtub was disappointing, especially after a long flight.

The hotel is conveniently located across from the airport terminal building, ideal for a restful night before an early flight. The rooms are to a high standard but can feel cramped with unnecessary additional beds and lack of air conditioning. The service provided is exceptionally friendly. The dining experience is reasonable but lacks variety in breakfast options.

Upon arrival, we found the rooms already occupied, which was a bit frustrating. However, the rooms, although a bit expensive for what they are, were adequately furnished, quiet, and comfortable. The bathroom and shower were of a good standard. The service was pleasant overall, with friendly staff who made an effort to ensure our comfort. The location was very convenient for us, especially for an onward early flight the next morning. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a decent English breakfast but some missing items. The facilities were sufficient for our needs, providing a comfortable stay.
