Have stayed here a number of times, but probably won’t be back after this visit.
Pros:

Good location for Donington Park circuit, and the food was excellent

Cons:

Double bed in room was filthy (including the supposedly clean bedding), and some of the staff were pretty miserable and blunt

Good value for money
Pros:

Good location. Good value for money. Nice room - comfortable bed and extra pillows. Breakfast was good.

Cons:

Two EV charging points weren't working so was unable to charge vehicle as one was already in use and the other was being used by a non- EV as a disabled space.

Pros:

Easy to park the car. Check in was quick and easy

Cons:

There was rubbish outside the room in the corridor. The lifts were really dirty. The stainless steel doors i don't think have ever been cleaned. The Breakfast was a complete waste of £10. No variety at all. No hash browns, no fried eggs.

Kegworth stay
Pros:

The front desk staff were very helpful and friendly, making me feel at ease from the moment I arrived. They reassured me about the Wi-Fi for my work, and it was excellent throughout my stay.

The cleaning staff were also very accommodating, and the room was spacious with extra furniture, making it easy to work comfortably. Considering the facilities and comfort, the price is very reasonable.

Overall, I had a pleasant and comfortable stay. This was my second visit, and I will definitely be returning again.

Not clean, in need of updating
Pros:

I stayed here for 1 night in April. Room was quite large and you could open the window (not always the case in some hotels) ample parking and a restaurant on site. However, when I used the hairdryer it was clear that it had not been cleaned (in my opinion) for some time. I found 25p on the windowsill and the bathroom leaves a lot to be desired. I'll be avoiding this hotel in future.
