Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms had everything anyone would have needed for a short or even long stay. The room was a bit noisy, making it challenging to sleep through. The location was great for an early start at the airport, which was convenient, but there was excessive noise through the night from the restaurant.
The hotel is in a convenient location, especially for those using East Midlands Airport, with excellent motorway access nearby. The rooms were modern, clean, and well-kept, offering a good size for comfort. The service was outstanding, with staff going above and beyond to assist. The dining experience, while having room for improvement, offered room service convenience. However, the restaurant lacked freshness in its food options.
The hotel rooms had everything we needed, including ironing facilities, a hairdryer, and clean beds. The rooms were clean and quiet, with no traffic or aircraft noise, offering excellent value for the price and being very close to the airport. They were spacious, pleasantly decorated, with plenty of light from a large window overlooking the garden.
