Crufts magic
Pros:

I stayed the night before Crufts with my giant breed dog and had a brilliant experience. This is the friendliest hotel I've stayed in... from the call on the day advising my request to change to a king room was accepted, to the bag of dog treats on arrival and chatty reception staff whenever my dog walked through, we were made to feel so welcome.

I used the pool, sauna and steam, all was spotlessly clean and the room service food was quick to arrive and delicious.

The hotel was full and there were so many dogs but it was really quiet and we slept well.

The walk to Crufts took me 20 minutes with a huge trolley and was clearly signed. Afterwards, it was convenient to leave straight into the main road and avoid all the traffic leaving the NEC.

Needless to say I'll be back next year, thank you to all the staff and keep doing a great job.

A great place to stay for NEC
Pros:

We were there when Crufts was on, so lots of dogs and owners. Plenty of staff who are well trained and helpful
The hotel had areas where people could dine with dogs but not in the main dining room.
A 10mins walk to NEC,more convenient than staying on the NEC site.

Cons:

Nothing all is good for a short stay

Great for a pre flight stay. Very conveniently located.
Pros:

We only needed a room for the afternoon and evening before our early morning flight so this was great for us. A short ride away from the airport terminal made it very convenient. We were unaware of Crufts being on at the NEC so the hotel was full of dogs of all shapes and sizes but as dog owners ourselves this was entertaining rather than inconvenient. There were designated areas especially for dining for those with dogs and the whole situation was handled very efficiently and professionally. All staff we interacted with were friendly, helpful and polite and the food we had, in the bar at lunchtime and in the restaurant in the evening, was very nice. Thank you for a very pleasant stay.

Cons:

Everything was fine. We were only there for one night and had to leave at 4:45 in the morning for our flight so can’t comment on the leisure facilities.
