Very positive: repeatedly noted as convenient for hospital, ring road, central Derby, close to shops and retail park, easy parking and near an on-site pub.

7.2
Generally comfortable and clean with good beds and adequate layout, but some rooms are basic with small/old TV, occasional maintenance issues (toilet door handle, damaged bathroom floor) and lack of bedside sockets/air con.

Pros:

We have stayed here many times and the location and food are good.

Cons:

When we arrived in our room the toilet was dirty and there were numerous old stains on the toilet seat. We complained about the seat and the manager said he would replace it with a new one. We left and it had not been replaced. Not good. The seat should have been replaced before we arrived in my opinion. Come on Marston Inns pull your socks up.
