Dear all, there are several hotels in close proximity to the NEC but from my enquiries the Premier Inn NEC looks the closest at reasonable price. It it a 10 - 15 minute walk from the main halls and 'on campus' so you won't need to drive if staying over

http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/united ... index.htmlThe Travelodge at the Airport has capacity but is a pain to get to being on the opposite side of the airport from the monorail link to the NEC. That means either a £7.00 taxi each way or a bus, it isn't walkable with any degree of safety!!
A 15 minute drive away is the Premier Inn Shirley, just a short way along the A34 towards Birmingham from the M42 . Cheaper too
