Start your stay with Prosecco!
Pros:

“A glass of Prosecco?” - what a greeting! From the moment we reached reception the service and friendly team were exceptional. We used the gym, the swimming pool and sauna, the restaurant, and had breakfast and nothing was out of place, even the gentlemen who were servicing the rooms never walked past without a smile and “do you need anything”. This is the service you get in the Far Eat - its rare in the UK. Thank you to all the team at East Mids Airport Hilton, my grandchildren give you a 10/10 and it there opinion that matters most!

Cons:

There was nothing not to like. The price and facilities were right and the service exceptional

Not accessible.
Pros:

Near the motorway. Ease of access

Cons:

Room was incredibly dusty.
A huge car park and only 4 disabled car parking spaces. So a massive "walk" thanks.
Not accessible and doesn't meet minimum recommendations.
£9 for a bag of nuts and two bags of crisps.

No care for clients.

Good 4*hotel, with small bits letting it down.
Pros:

This is a second time we stayed at this hotel. Really good breakfast experience (except availability of gluten free bread we ordered in advance - had to ask 3 times for it) .
Room ok, but for a 4* hotel not to have a fridge or mini bar , is a bit disappointing.
Good fitness/spa centre, but with some issues.
Quiet room, comfy beds.
In general, better than last time.

Cons:

Generally good place with small details clearly not taken care off.
For a 4* hotel i would expect no weird smell in the room.
No fridge in the room.
We preordered gluten free bread , but had to ask 3 times and wait 30 min to get it.
Spa centre - they close most days at 8pm, even with a hottest summer in history. Have to book in a space in advance, and no one tells you this.
Disappointing experience in the changing rooms , dirty showers, knob missing in a shower by the sauna.

Lovely hotel and staff
Pros:

Hotel was lovely, room was amazing, staff were lovely. Wi-Fi was a little strange as could only register for states in America for a 7 day free trial. In the end, we agreed to a possible payment if we used the wifi. We would definitely use the hotel again, despite the wifi confusion.

Cons:

The confusion about the wifi.
