Great hotel with a few niggles
"Great hotel, handy for the NEC in my case. The room was a good size and nicely decorated, great bed and pillows. Bathroom was a bit dated and the shower head mounted far too low. I had to assume a stooping position to get under (I’m 5’10”) Dinner was decent but prices are optimistic to say the least. ..."
