Pros:

The beds were comfortable and the hotel throughout was very clean. The lady on reception on we got back to the hotel in the evening was welcoming and very nice and we were able to have a lovely conversation. Thank you

Cons:

There is no disabled parking anymore as those bays have now been turned into electric vehicle charging points. The lights in the bedside lamps didn't work but they did charge our phones. The breakfast wasn't upto its usual standard.

Good value and location for a short stay
Pros:

Great location for Donington Park and East Midlands airport.
Ideal for a one night stay, staff are warm and welcoming and were very accommodating in arranging a sandwich for me to collect on check out because I was leaving too early for breakfast.
Clean rooms, perfectly adequate, good value for money and plenty of parking.
My only criticism is the food. Nothing is home made and is either fried, frozen and then clearly nuked in a microwave. It filled a gap at the end of a long day but it was not particularly pleasant.
