Overnight stay
Pros:

Reception were friendly and helpful. Room was clean and the bathroom was roomy and well appointed.

Cons:

The room itself was a little worn, however there were improvements being done and I guess part of that would be updating the rooms.

Lovely Stay at R Inn
Pros:

Friendly and helpful on arrival and the room had all I needed, coffee, tea and 2 bottles of water supplied. Didn't use the shower, but the bathroom was modern and clean. Very quiet, so easy to get a good night's sleep.

Cons:

The taxis advertised on the reception desk were not local and charged more as they were coming from Market Harborough. I googled a taxi from the Kettering area and this was about £4.00 less.

Lovely hotel
Pros:

Amazing for the price..room was spacious.. had everything in room..hairdryer.. little table. Staff at reception absolutely amazing both seem happy and warming, helped us with Internet access as I didn't work to begin with. We asked for plates and cutlery so we could get a take away and even offered us an area we could go and sit.

Cons:

Just needs a little extra clean around bathroom.. top of bath quite dusty and door handle to bathroom quite sticky but that's just my ocd sorry
