Excellent hotel for shows and events at NEC/Pulse arena. The hotel is currently undergoing refurbishment but doesn’t really affect stay except breakfast/bar area a little crowded. Rooms are probably best i’ve stayed in at that price range - only quibble TV was rubbish need to sort aerial, but fab stay will use again for next night out.
