Disappointing doesn’t cover it.
Pros:

Selected a hotel with “parking” and “good breakfast” was cheap but there were others equally so. It’s attached to a garage, rear car park was a bit dodgy and poorly lit. On arrival we were asked to pay for parking, £5, and this was insisted upon before checking in. This is not at all clear when booking. The hotel has responded to previous reviews that it the information is enclosed further in facilities. However this is a clear attempt to hide this cost as it would deter guests, if it isn’t an issue LIST IT ON THE FRONT PAGE OF BOOKING. On a similar note,a “good breakfast” turned out to be a box containing a sm piece of flapjack, a pano chocolate and a bottle of water, not “good” by anybody’s definition, again, misleading. Bathroom wasn’t as good as my nan’s and grout was moldy, the bed was like a slab, between that and the noise of the vents located outside our room i barely slept a wink. Plus side staff were pleasant and manager refunded most of the breakfast box cost with no hassle. The group owning this hotel clearly know the issues but continue to hide them at the booking stage and ignore feedback as their is a constant stream of airport custom. Can’t bare dishonesty, Dissapointing +++

Very Pleasant Stay for East Midlands Airport
Pros:

Very pleasant stay at Days Inn, given I was working at East Midlands

Friendly staff on check in, generous car park space, clean spacious room & bathroom and comfort and quiet in abundance given its location.

Tip, book direct rather than through booking.com to take advantage of the free parking instead of paying £5 a night.

Pros:

N/A We didn't require a breakfast on this stay. Our room was clean and comfortable as always and our request for a ground floor room was met as one of our party was unable to access stairs. Thankyou Days Inn for another relaxing stay 🙂

Great Hotel Amazing Staff
Pros:

We have visited this property numerous times to attend the BTCC meeting at the nearby Donington Park circuit. Never had a problem but this time the receptionist tried to charge us extra for rooms that we had already paid for. Denise and Sian (both legends) sorted the problem out before we left to attend race day on Sunday.
