I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express whilst on business at the NEC. On arrival the car park was rather full, apart from an area to the side of the hotel which was a little out of view so I was reluctant to leave my car there especially as it was also covered in broken glass. The hotel itself was... More

This hotel is fine. My second stay here. Very good pub next door: the Little Owl, does good food. Holiday Inn staff are a bit mumbly. Standard holiday inn rooms and breakfast. Fairly pleasant breakfast area and bar with sky sports. Just on the side of a motorway.

I am quite surprised and saddened to report the following poor performance of the staff at this hotel. On the surface, this looked to be an excellent venue - clean, bright, very convenient for the event I was attending. In my case, looks proved to be deceiving.....

We stayed here for one night using the stay and park package. The room was clean, staff friendly and very helpful. Loved the parking arrangement you park it and its exactly where you left it when you return so no searching for your car brilliant. There is no shuttle bus to the airport any more which is not a big... More

Stayed here many many times in recent years. Absolutely straightforwards with pleasant staff and an absolutely standard Holiday Inn Express room and facilities. Parking has long been in a large barrier controlled car park with a charge for overnight parking. Not a problem.
