5.0 / 10.0
The only positive aspect was the location, as it is conveniently close to the NEC.
The overall cleanliness and condition of the room were disappointing. The bathroom sink area had visible hair and dust upon arrival. I had to wipe down multiple surfaces in the room myself as they were dusty and not properly cleaned.
The sofa had visible stains. The furniture throughout the room was heavily worn, scratched and marked, giving the room a very tired and neglected appearance.
The room service food was also poor value for money. The sirloin steak portion was very small for the price, and the pizza was extremely dry and hard, as if it had been reheated multiple times. The total cost of £49.30 did not reflect the quality delivered.
This experience does not meet the expected standard of a Crowne Plaza property.

The location for the NEC is great and the staff are fantastic.
The rooms are run down with damage all around, the price was extremely high £185 for 1 night. The ice machine being next to the room kept us up late with an early start planned the next day too.

Lovely hotel, perfect location for the BP Pulse, Resorts World and NEC, staff were exceptional and very helpful, there were no available disabled spaces available directly outside the hotel but they were very accommodating and found us a suitable place to park and waivered the parking charge, bonus to have an ice machine right outside our bedroom door and a complementary drink as it was Valentines Day
The view from our room wasn't great but we didn't ask for a room with a view, our room was too hot for us (26 degrees) but during our 2 night stay we couldn't work out how to turn it down, we did ask at reception on the second night and someone said they would go up to our room but the temperature remained the same throughout our stay.

Food in the restaurant, Starbucks coffee in the morning, bathroom amenities, big TV with youtube app in room
No actual wheelchair access to the NEC. The supposed wheelchair path crosses tree roots/grass
Restaurant prices. Paid 9 quid for hardly a single serving of chicken strips
Paid for room with double bed and sofa bed and was given the wrong room originally
No communication about there being a 50 GBP deposit until it was withdrawn from my account

Service from the staff was both highly efficient and very friendly. Food offer was very appropriate for the hotel and well served and presented. Pleasantly informal and sociable environment for eating. Check in and out very efficient.
Had an un refurbished room which was clean but a little tired. I appreciate there is a premium to stay on site at the NEC but it represents only average value.

Each time we holiday we stay in CROWN PLAZA when flying from bhx. The hotel is perfect and we leave our vehicle parked safely in the grounds, ready for our return .
The snow when we returned. Obviously not the hotels fault 🙄

Beautiful hotel , great staff .
I think staff need to handover to each other once shift is closed. Because I was being asked why I was still In the hotel , when I requested late check the night before . Also I almost got charged twice for the deposit. The cleaninless is decent. Unfortunately our room was full of dust, especially under the bed and I have asthma.

The staff was excellent as was the breakfast. Loved the on line check in and the coffee facilities in the room.
You market yourself as an airport hotel but we had to walk more than a mile with suitcases and when we phone to query what we could do we were told there was no courtesy bus! Also the room furniture was dated and had seen better days.

Good room
£50 charge taken from card for a deposit without prior warning. I rang the front desk 48 hours after check out to ask when this would be refunded, and whether I would have been made aware of this, they could not answer.

We stayed here because we went to see a show at the BP pulse arena. It is very close in proximity. The staff were accomodating and they even allowed us for a free early check-in.

The location was excellent — within walking distance of the NEC, shops, restaurants, and the train station.
I was not pleased with the access route located at the back of the hotel, which leads to and from the shopping and cinema area. As someone with limited mobility, I found it difficult to use, especially since the area was dark and it was raining. Guests are not permitted to pass through the restaurant on the ground floor, so it was necessary to go up several stairs from the back of the bar, which made access even more challenging. Unfortunately, this aspect of the stay detracted from the overall experience.

The Staff our absolutely amazing polite considerate extremely helpful, especially Romania in the dining room and Diamanté both were exceptional and the two lovely Indian ladies that served us also in the dining room area were equally outstanding!!
The room was tired, dilapidated, worn and unpleasant, the decor had been over worn was in a sorry state the bathroom in particular was terrible, how sad as a refurb could have made it very luxurious, you couldn't fault the cleanliness but I felt sorry for the house keeping staff as it is difficult to maintain a standard when the are is chipped scuffed and in desperate need of replacement.
