Good

Exceptional

Great breakfast and friendly welcoming...

Liked: Staff were very friendly, room was huge. Breakfast too was excellent with several options. Handy for east Midlands airport and Donington Park
Disliked: Decor felt a little dated and tired. Though room was clean, bathroom had a few odd marks/stains here and there.

A squat at ritz price

Liked: Near bus stop
Disliked: Everything! . I’m not one to complain but this place was disgusting . We start with the lady on reception who was very nice and friendly . We arrived for our 2 pm check in to the place locked up , empty and in darkness . Impossible phone signal there so went to pub opposite and connected to WiFi . 3 pm got hold of someone who said she meet me at reception. We booked purposely here as it had room to accommodate 3 ppl . She said bar is closed , restaurant not open , in fact hotel shut so put you in 2 rooms in stable area . The room was damp and 2 electric fires at full pelt made it feel like a tropical rain forest . The windows did not open so went had to keep door open to try and vent the heat out , the kettle was on the window chill connected to an extension lead nailed to the bathroom wall ?? The socket on the other wall was stuck on with blue tack !! . The old bed was more like a hammock. The bathroom lights did not work. Only one low dim light so impossible to shave . Black damp on ceiling. The bathroom was something I’d expect in a squat and thought I’d be cleaner to me not have a shower . Then at 11 pm I awake to banging on my window so had to go out to see what’s happening and some guy can’t get his car out as barrier gone down and not been given a exit code !. I return back to the squat where the wind has got up and some stable door slamming all night . It is hands down the worse place I have ever stayed at .tried to contact hotel and nothing g back from them .

Very good

Disappointing

Clean, comfortable and exceptional value...

Liked: Friendly staff on check in and check out, the room was very spacious - more so than I imagined, the bed was incredibly comfortable, the wifi was easy to get on to and the TV and iron both worked! The hotel and room itself had great character.
Disliked: There wasn't anything that I didn't like! At a push you could say that the bathroom was a little dated, but it all adds to the character!
