Clean, basic but noisy
I chose this hotel because it was close in and economical. It offered great access to the downtown as well as the Jewry Wall and Abbey Park, etc. The problem was the noise. The hotel is located close to the Royal Infirmary and a police station and all emergencies come by this hotel. Terrible location, from that point of view. I work in Times Square, NY, and this hotel had almost as many sirens as Times Square. In addition, there was no air conditioning, so the window was open, even worse. I was given a handicapped access room, which is fine with me (I am not handicapped). It had weird bathtub faucets that were hard to operate. The toilet ran continuously if you didn’t shut it off right. Internet was extra, breakfast was extra and they did not have a UK/US plug adapter. They really should provide free Internet and they should have plug adapters. They knew nothing about the trains for the next leg of my trip, but I was able to get that info from the tourist center not too far away. If I had known about the noise, I would have paid $30 a night more for a better location.

Sightseeing tip:
Long walk from hotel
The Abbey Pumping Station steam engine operates about 4-5 times a year, for only a couple hours (usually on Sundays, I think) and it is a rare priveledge to see it operate. It is one of the largest and oldest steam engines in the world (3 stories tall). If you can coordinate your travel to Leicester with the dates they operate the engine you will enjoy a special treat.
