We stayed here for one night mid week in April. Pictures looked fantastic but did not live up to expectations Couldn’t use the key app as just wouldn’t accept password so at this point the staff were helpful and left us a key in a key box ready for arrival. We booked the most basic room as was just a stop over after a trade show at NEC. The room was modern and true to pictures but very compact. The only chair was one wooden painted kitchen chair placed under the wall mounted tv which if you sat on, you instantly banged your head on the TV. The bathroom, although modern, is very compact and the sink is so close to built in shower it only give half the width of the small shower as access which looked very tight Mirror on the single wardrobe was cracked at the bottom and we found hair on the bed We instantly new this was not the room for us and phoned the host to see if there was another room with some seating option We had to pay an additional £75 and then someone came with a new keycard for a room on the top floor and left us to it Walking up the two flights of stairs we found our room with much more room, a spacious bathroom and some armchairs. The furniture is all very basic and potentially mainly IKEA purchases so I would not describe it as luxury but it does the job The kitchen in this new room was huge for two people and you could never make use of all the cupboards. The crockery and cutlery was a bit hit and miss with just one teaspoon and everything else very minimal After a cuppa and sit down we headed out for dinner around 7pm to find the road outside closed for resurfacing between 8pm and 5am which made us worry about our night sleep ahead. As it turned out this was the least of our worries and although perhaps they could have warned people it wasn’t excessive disruption Returning from dinner around 9.30 we settled in after a long day at the NEC The walls are paper thin and you can hear everything word for word in the rooms beneath you and next to you We also had potentially the water tank above or behind us so every time anyone anywhere used water you heard it gush and then bang and tick away maybe refilling - not fun! The worst thing came when we were woken at 2.30am by a returning guest in the room next door who played loud music for hours. We finally gave up at 5am and decided to just drive home as clearly we weren’t getting any sleep We sent a message to the host explaining we were leaving at 5am and would expect some refund. 48 hours later we are still awaiting any response from this and this is why we are writing this to warn future guests of the noise disturbance even without a noisy neighbour Could be so much better and certainly wold not recommend or return
