Staying here at the moment. It's fairly busy with a show on at the NEC and some conferences.

The room I was allocated on the app/given digital key for already had someone in it... mildly annoying after wandering for 5/10 minutes trying to find the room in the first place as I found the signage hopeless from reception. Second room fine and without an existing occupant

Room nice, view vaguely looking out to the water. Bathroom feels distinctly unclean though.

Exec Lounge offerings I'd say are pretty poor. During the day soft drinks and not as much as a biscuit.
Evening service of frozen spring rolls, samosas with cheese with some cut veg. No sauces with the spring rolls/samosas unless you wanted ketchup? Rubbish crackers, no chutney with pretty mediocre cheese.
All very cheap and minimal effort. Pretty pathetic when this place is charging £200+ for a cheap room tonight, never mind the executive rooms.

Hopefully breakfast is a bit better.

Off to Nando's for some actual food..!
