The walk is signposted, but if you have lots of luggage or accessibility requirements, we recommend taking a taxi to the airport. Taxis take 3 minutes and cost around £13.

Restaurants

The AC Lounge is a stylish, modern space with an inviting, casual atmosphere. The main menu is served until 9pm with everything from burgers and pizza to sandwiches, pasta, salads and curries. We went for the wonderfully fragrant Chicken Tikka Masala, which you can order whenever you like – there are plenty of meals available 24 hours a day.

Mains cost £13 to £20 on average, and there's a separate menu for kids. You'll also find plenty for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diets – let the hotel team know if you have any allergies or dietary requirements.

Bars

AC Lounge – open 24/7

The bar's pouring draught beers, crafted cocktails, wine, spirits, soft drinks and Lavazza coffee and is open 24/7, so you'll always have a relaxing space to unwind with a drink.

Breakfast

AC Lounge – Continental 4am to 10am, full English 6.30am to 10am

Get your day off to the perfect start with full English and continental delights from the breakfast buffet at the hotel restaurant.

Fill up your plate with as much bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, hash browns, toast and beans as will fit, then fill a second plate with pain au chocolat and croissants. You might even need a third plate for the cold meat and cheese, plus a bowl or two for cereal, fruit and yoghurt.

Wash all that down with tea, Lavazza coffee and fresh juices – it's all included for £13.00 per adult, children aged 3-11 pay just £6.50 and kids under 3 eat free!

There's a compact gym with plenty of equipment that's free for guests to use.

Work up a sweat with the Pulse Fitness treadmill, cross-trainer, bikes, cables, free weights and Concept2 rowing machine. It's open 6am to 10pm on weekdays and 8am to 8pm on weekends – ask reception for the code to access the gym.

Head through the restaurant and you'll find a foosball table, plus there are games for kids in the lounge area of the bar.

The hotel's within walking distance of the NEC, which has plenty of bars and restaurants and regularly hosts events – check the schedule and see what's on during your stay.
