The receptionist was very helpful. The hotel was clean and there was a good sized car park. I found the hotel easy to locate from the M1.
Room 204 had a sewage smell. The continental breakfast had a poor choice of healthy eating options. One pear looked unhealthy.

I worked near loughborough and stayed one night. the staff seemed very friendly. the room was clean. i found my stay very comforting. The experience was heartwarming. if my work brings me back to this place, i will certainly return. the memory of the quiet nights is now a gentle whisper in my heart, a promise of more peaceful moments to come.

EXCELLENT Stay Near the Airport!

polite greetingspacious roomgood facilitiesfree parking
I REALLY appreciated the quick and easy check-in. The staff was SO polite, EVEN while managing the busy bar and restaurant. The room was spacious, and the brand-new carpet was great to walk on. I ALSO noticed the good facilities available, like the table, chairs, TV, and kettle. The free parking was VERY convenient. I appreciated its location, as it.
The outside approach to the reception NEEDS some attention. There were cigarette ends visible. (Small detail, though!)
Location
9/10
The hotel provides easy access to nearby attractions. It is close to Alton Towers (approximately 40 minutes away) and Loughborough University (approximately 10 minutes away), which is a HUGE convenience for visitors.

I had dinner in the restaurant one night, and the value was GREAT. The portions were HUGE and the staff was happy for me to take the leftovers to my room. (The steak was REALLY good!)

mixed feelings About My Stay

paper-thin wallsbathroom cleanliness
I was pretty disappointed with a few things. First, the noise was a real problem. The walls seemed paper-thin, and i could hear everything happening outside and in neighboring rooms. cleanliness wasn't the best. I noticed dust in several areas, and the bathroom could have been cleaner? it's frustrating when basic things like that aren't up to par.
