Disliked: Cleanliness
I didn't realize that I accidentally booked an "accessible" room... which would have been ok, but I noticed blood splatter in the shower. It looked like someone had fell and had a nasty cut. I called the front desk and the lady said it was cleaning solution, but I've never seen cleaning solution the color of blood. She offered to change the room to another accessible room downstairs but it was already late and I had an early flight. Nevertheless, it just gave me an uneasy feeling and I didn't sleep too well that night.

Perfect no frills hotel for an early morning flight. Breakfast started at 4am and was a pretty decent continental style - fresh croissants, yogurt, cereral, fruit, etc. Staff was super friendly. There's a bus that goes to the airport right outside, or you can walk (took me maybe 15/20 minutes). Would stay again.

Convenient and fairly nice place to stay.

Having been at the Pride Park Holiday Inn the week before, the comparison was marked. This facility was older and showed some more wear. The staff was friendly and helpful. There was not coffee available in the lobby throughout the day, but was available to make in our room, should we choose.

Awful "restaurant".

Fair Hotel. Friendly staff. Nothing out of the ordinary. Near the Airport, so it was convenient. Not a very pleasant stay, as I ended up vomiting all night long after a visit to their "restaurant". What the reason was? remains uncertain.

Nice for Business Travel

Nice stay, free breakfast but always the same cold/hot food, rooms are clean, stayed for business and personal, close to business at airport so it was convenient, rooms however are small but workable and comfortable beds, nice firm and soft pillows, bathroom clean. Take lotion however if you want it, only provide soap, shampoo/body wash combo, all out of wall pumps. Hotel provides anything you may not have, but didn't ask for lotion, we had brought our own.

Perfect ... even if it was a little lifeless!

This hotel is close to the East Midlands airport, on an intersection next to the Premier Inn and 200m from the Radison. Apart from that it is grass and rabbits! They say you can walk to the hotel from the airport but actually it isn't that close. Still it is only 6GBP in a cab or .50p on the bus from right outside the hotel. Let's be frank...the hotel is dull as all out..but ticks all the right boxes. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the bed and shower are fine. The room has a desk for work, you can make a coffee in your room and down the hall is an ironing room so you can spruce up for your meeting. Breakfast isn't fancy..but it is fine. I had a room service dinner which I'd have to rate as average, but it was quick and satisfying. The internet is 10GBP in your room for 24 hours. All up, while I may not celebrate my wedding anniversary here I would happily spend another night or so on my way from A to B. In fact it was great value through Expedia.

Great hotel for a one-night stopover

We just stayed the night and have no complaints. The hotel was very clean and the staff was very courteous. We were overjoyed to have a gracious staff member allow us access to breakfast even though we were 10 minutes late, too. We couldn't believe it. Miss breakfast in the states, and you're usually out of luck. But here, the staff member even went in the back to get us cereal.
