anyone stayed in any of these hotels ..thought I had a find as there is one 5 mins from the NEC rooms £35 take dogs at £5  only 1 allowed but then found out they dont have free parking only ncp at £15 a night so not that cheap after all ...<BG>

No experience of them myself.... but a new one was built in an eyeblink near me last year, and just because I'm weird I decided I might not be happy staying in a place that is Paté spelled backwards

they look like travellodges

Used them in France, great.
Inexpensive, affordable place to lay your head when you cant be at home.
All part of a huge Accor group.

Hi,
I have stayed in one in Birmingham, very basic and quite a small room but good enough or a one night stay. The best offers i have found so far are with Days Inn. They don't charge for dogs either. Not too sure how close the nearest one to the NEC is but might be worth a look.

Had to stay in one for a week for work, OK for one night but no longer!  Breakfast is very basic.  The website said £5 a dog, but when I rang the Etap I was going to stay in they wanted £10 a dog.

myself and few friends stayed there for LKA show,
rooms clean,basic,staff nice,
double bed with single bunk above
think we paid £35 for room,
but !!!! parking was just under  £20 as its part of the airports carparks,

ideal place to stay if going to nec by train..but no way with a car.
