What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s unbeatable walkability to the NEC and airport, calling it “super convenient” and “ideal for early flights or late-night events.” Reviews often mention the clean rooms, friendly staff, and surprisingly quiet atmosphere given the location. Many say it’s “great value for money” and a “perfect one-night stop for a concert.”

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are on the smaller side, so don’t expect lots of space to spread out. Some guests note that parking can be pricey since it’s managed by a separate company. And while there’s no on-site restaurant, the nearby airport terminal makes up for it with food options.
