hotel near NEC birmingham?

[andi30]

we are looking at going to the BBC food fair in November at the NEC and will need to book in a hotel, does anyone know of any hotels that are close to the NEC as we will be getting the train down so we wont have our car? i have just had a look at a couple of hotels at the airport but you can only book for one night:confused:

thanks

We do many exhibitions at the NEC and always stay at the Holiday Inn Express. Good price good location. Has a pub/resturant next door that does good food.

hi, we stayed at the crowne plaza, when we went to see rammstein, four weeks ago, it was alovely hotel and only a couple of mins walk to the nec,we booked it direct from their website, cost us 75.00, but was worth every penny for the convinience to the arena, susie

i think it is because the BBC good food show is on so i suppose they put their prices up for things like that:rolleyes:

Stayed in a lovely b and b called Brambles. Just down the road from train station that takes you direct into the NEC. Highly recommended.
