tasty food excellent service free parking
The hotel has a good restaurant with tasty food. The staff offered excellent service. They also let me keep my car in the car park while I attended an event nearby.
The room faced a busy street, therefore it was a little noisy.

The staff members were friendly. They also accommodated my needs. I found great food available in the restaurant.
The room had been set up only for one guest. I requested extra towels. It involved going down many stairs, because there was no lift.

convenient stay near donington

clean room comfy bed powerful shower
The room was very clean. the bed was comfy with nice linen, made for a good sleep. i appreciated the little kitchen. It had both crockery and cutlery. the shower was powerful and consistent.
the noise within the building disrupted my sleep. the toilet made a loud noise! which was particularly bothersome. i think that was a quieter night.
