I felt unsafe staying here as a lone female traveller and would not recommend it to anyone travelling alone - the only think that made me feel better was barricading the door with the chair in the room as the lock was loose

Only stay here as an absolute last resort.

This hotel is not located next to the NEC as described when I called. I had to take a tram followed by a bus to the opposite side of the airport runway. When I called the helpline was told “i dont know how to get there from the airport myself, can you not just get an Uber. This would be at a. OST of an added £23. The staff could not communicate at the hotel as English was broken, the door to the room would not lock so I had to prop a chair underneath the handle to secure it, the window handle was missing so I could not close the window, the room was dirty with the previous occupants shopping bags and receipts underneath the bed. When I asked what time the restaurant would be open to I was told we don’t have one you can either walk to the travel lodge down the road or have food delivered.

Never again, poor beyond belief.

Absolute shambles. This hotel is offering budget prices, but offering below standard accommodation. There is a gap in the market where a worker is just looking for a bed, and this is all they achieve. The shower was like showering under a broken tap and the water temp after getting the shower head replaced and the temp valve forced, was tepid or nothing. The cold tap was jammed and you had to hold the tap so you could turn it on. The TV was on a old mobile TV aerial which lost picture every minute or so. The furniture was recovered from skips or cheap charity shops. Tea and coffee was a small plastic bag of tea bags. On arrival I called the number to get my key, they had previously called me to ask what time i would be there, and I still had to wait 25 minutes for the key holder to appear. They do what they have to when asked, to a minimum standard, there is no proactive thought, just reacting to the guest finding faults for them. I was there for a week, as the ashes took up all the normal rooms in the city. The wifi was in and out. I had still spent over £200, and to put it politely I was happy to get home. I have ran out of things to say, to end on a positive note, it had a carpark. NEVER AGAIN.

You must be joking

Without doubt the bleakest, most depressing room I’ve ever stayed in. Pillow case was filthy, the whole place is run down. When the shower didn’t work in the morning that topped it. The attached photo was my “upgraded room”. As a very regular business traveler I was appalled by the whole experience. Best advice, stay somewhere else, stay anywhere else!!!
