Pros:

The location was perfect, and the hotel is modern and clean. Nice to have little extras in the kitchen for guests to enjoy.

Cons:

The room was a bit tight, with frosted glass that you could not see out of. Noise from road and a constant drip outside.

Clean, tidy and convenient
Pros:

Convenient for a day at Donington Track. Room was clean and tidy. I didn’t make use of the kitchen, but I’m sure that’s a great thing to have for some. It looked well stocked in there.

Cons:

They were having issues with the fire alarm system. Had a message to tell me how to unlock the control pannel and silence the alarm myself. But nothing about checking that it’s a false alarm first. The alarm did go off during my one night at the property. There wasn’t space for me to park at the property - though the pub down the road were happy for me to leave my car there instead.
