I've attended a big exhibition at NECC and the hotel was relatively close, not exactly a walking distance, but just a few minutes on taxi.
Down side is that there aren't much shops or restaurants in or near the building. There is one convenient store that opens until midnight, though.
Rooms are pretty spacious and modern. People at the front desk are all friendly and helpful, especially calling taxi when my DiDi app wasn't working well.
