Fantastic staff
Pros:

I didn't actually stay at the hotel but when my car broke down at the services Tarlek, the receptionist was so lovely.
He checked if there was a room available if I needed one, he helped me sort out the parking for my car and was just generally kind and very polite.
In the end I was able to make my way home but I I almost wished I was staying.
Days Inn are very lucky to have an employee like Tarlek and I hope he is as valued by his employers as he was by me that evening.
Thank you.

Very good!
Pros:

Exhausted, I arrived at Leicester Forest East northbound on the M1, and checked in at the reception desk, who could not have been more helpful. The room rate was under £50. Comfortable room with a good bed, adequate TV and wifi, and the shops and restaurants as you would expect next door in the services. The price included parking.
Impressed.

Good value for money stay
Pros:

I have stayed here many times and the staff stand out. They are absolutely great.
The rooms are spacious with comfy beds and although becoming a little bit dated, are value for money when considering the rates.
Also, if you book directly, instead of going through a booking site, you get free parking saving £5 per day.
When you book,it says the room has a smart TV, however, not all rooms have one and can be hit or miss. I believe this should be rectified

No Frills Overnighter
Pros:

Needed a room for an overnight very last minute. Usually use Premier Inn but the cost was prohibitive saw this room for less than half. Very happy. Just the job when you need a no frills room just to sleep over night. Staff very helpful and friendly. Well Done Days Inn

First class on budget prices
Pros:

What a little Gem of a place. We stopped Saturday night, £96.00 cheaper than nearest Travelodge.
Check in was smooth and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. The people on reception ( Sherrie and Tarlek) were friendly, professional and very helpful. The room was spotlessly clean with lovely towels and a great hospitality tray. Thank you for a lovely stay! We will be back x

Pros:

Breakfast was taken at 'The Good Breakfast'. A complete waste of money. There was NO choice- full English with tea or coffee or literally nothing. The food was dried out & lukewarm. No bread, toast or fried bread unless paid for separately. Guests queue at the shop counter along with passing buyers. The seating area was grubby with dirty dishes strewn around. Disgusting. The twin room, pre-booked was accessible so spacious & clean although the bath panel was shabby. Beds were comfortable enough. Tea & coffee making facilities were fine but little or no useful information in the room. Also it was on the ground floor presumably for ease of access but overlooked the car park so visitors were smoking at tables directly outside & it was too noisy at times to open the window, hence the room became stuffy. A fan was supplied to blow the air around. Some staff were polite & friendly, but not all. The Welcome Break toilets are temporarily sited in the car park making vehicular access in & out awkward.
