Everything was fine, acceptable and it was a nice hotel with the only problem being poor aircon.
Pros:

It was very clean. Although I didn't use them the facilities were good e.g. the pool and gym etc. I knew when I booked that the hotel was out by the airport which was fine and the public bus is easy to catch and use.

Cons:

The biggest issue is the aircon unit. At the time there was a heatwave through the UK and Europe, the air con wasn't good/cold enough it needs to be more powerful and better, the lack of air con quality meant the room was uncomfortable. I paid for the breakfast for one morning and it was not good, cold, no barista coffee and generally could be a lot better it was overpriced.

Pros:

Cons:

Bath water wasnt hot, only 2 teabags (drinks tray very lacking) bath & sink plugs didn't work, flush on toilet caused a leak everytime, light in bathroom was intermittent. Awesome bed, but bolster middle pillow required. Lovely hotel, just a few niggles.

Preis-Leistung passt, wir waren sehr zufrieden!
Pros:

Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Freundlichkeit und Bedarfseekennung der Mitarbeiter am Empfang. Uns wurden zwei Einzelbetten angeboten, da erkannt wurde, dass wir kein Paar sind und gerne Einzelbetten für die Übernachtung hätten. Bei Booking waren Einzelbetten nicht buchbar, daher lohnt sich das anzusprechen, wenn es nicht schon erkannt wird :)
Das Hotel ist im allgemeinen sehr sauber und für das Alter (Baujahr 2011) modern gehalten, Zimmer sehr groß und geräumig, alles vorhanden von Bügelbrett und Bügeleisen im Schrank bis Bodylotion im Bad. Die Klimaanlage ist bei der Hitzewelle ein Gamechanger - endlich wieder Durchschlafen! Die Betten sind sehr bequem und man hört den Flughafen bzw. die Straße überhaupt nicht.
Die Auswahl beim Frühstücksbuffet ist riesig, selbst beim Kaffeeautomat bleibt kein Wunsch offen. Preis-Leistung passt hier super!
Verglichen mit anderen Hotels in der Umgebung auf jeden Fall das Beste, bei Weitem!
Die Nähe zu Donnington Park ist für Rennliebhaber natürlich phänomenal ;)
Wir konnten die Sauna und den Pool leider nicht testen, zeitlich hat es uns nicht gereicht.

Cons:

Nichts - alles war top!

Aircon in the heat and clean, with friendly staff
Pros:

Close to the airport, clean and airy

Cons:

Price was a little high for the food and drink, but I suppose you expect it when it’s near to an airport
