Top hotels in Hockley
Mercure Nottingham City Centre George Hotel
Great location, clean room, fun decor, eclectic. Staff were friendly. I’d just like to recommend a tv guide to the channels. Something printed in the room. BBC was unexpectedly after the adult channels, high up on the listings, difficult to find.
