They are all pricey all of the time, being next to the nec. Your best bet is look a bit further out & either drive in or taxi in.
Last time I did it, I stopped in a Best Western about 10 min taxi ride from the nec, I think it was about £50 for a twin room.

Dan - We go here: www.premierinn.com/gb/en/hotels/england/west-midlands/birmingham/birmingham-city-centre-waterloo-street.html?ARRdd=31&ARRmm=07&ARRyyyy=2019&NIGHTS=1&ROOMS=1&ADULT1=1&CHILD1=0&COT1=0&INTTYP1=DB&BRAND=PIStill a Premier Inn - however its a few mins from Birmingham New Street Station - the NEC has Birmingham International Station - its a 10 min trip and a cheap fare - you don't even have to leave the NEC complex to catch the train its that close - the hotel has restaurant & bar - its not bad at all and saves us a fortune against the NEC complex hotels which all charge a premium rate - book the meal deal and you get dinner & breakfast for under £25 - we have been using it for the last 5 years - not decided what days I'm doing yet but I will let you know nearer the time PS:The sooner you book the hotel the cheaper it is PSS:Leave your motor in the carpark overnight (it says you cant but loads do it) PSSS: Book your parking for the NEC online £12 otherwise its a £16 sting on the gate Chris |

There is a premier inn called the George in the tree I think, it’s in Ballsal Common, about 10-15 minute drive. Nothing much around it tho

Errr, I don’t know about that, Ballsal Common looks rather middle class to me so I don’t think it’s that type of establishment! I could easily be wrong though! |

Might be worth looking at hotels close to Coventry train station? Or rugby?
They might be cheaper, Nd the trains are frequent and stop at the NEC.
