Pros:

Breakfast was good as I received my poached eggs in good time. Staff were excellent and easy going.
Location was excellent as it was only 15 minutes fron Donnington Park and just off the motorway.

Cons:

All good 👍

Good, would stay again
Pros:

Extremely convenient location , clean and comfortable, had EV charging

Cons:

Breakfast was understaffed - not all food options were available up at a busy time eg bacon and egg’s presumably because enough staff weren’t free to keep them topped up. The onsite EV chargers are new and plentiful but unintuitive - we and fellow EV chargers had to call up the provider for support.

Passable for a short overnight stay.
Pros:

Room was clean but there was a strange smell. Beds were clean. AC was very effective. Room was quite small and ensuite was very small. Staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. Breakfast was acceptable.

Cons:

Room and ensuite were very worn and old. Not very comfortable in general.

Adequate hotel for a quick one or two night stay.
Pros:

Location was good - close to M1 and A52. Breakfast was okay, good choice and helpful staff, but rather over-priced. Air conditioning worked well and was useful for the hot nights during our stay.

Cons:

Room was quite a long walk from reception, decor was a bit tired and jaded and the room was on the very small side (only about 450mm each side of the double bed).

A comfortable one night stay.
Pros:

Helpful, friendly reception staff. Room in quiet area of hotel. Comfortable and clean.

(However it was well equipped and everything worked fine so no complaints.)

Dirty room.
Pros:

Location.

Cons:

Cleanliness. Tattered room, broken bathroom fan, broken lamp, mouldy bathroom ceiling, strong mildew smell in bathroom, brown smears on door, brown stains all over curtains.
I came for the Download weekend, paid over £800 and only had my bed made once, there was no cleaning done, tea facilities not replaced all weekend.
Do you not bother because it was the download festival weekend?
Well, I paid an extortionate price and received very little basic service. I’m 45 years old, not my first Holiday Inn stay, and felt like a second class guest in a dirty room.
