Stayed here many times over the years as it's convenient for Donington racing circuit. It's not a 5 star hotel, but gives excellent value for money in comfortable surroundings. Hotel is 2 minutes walk from the pub making it a convenient stopover. Plenty of free parking as well. Will definitely be visiting again. About 9 miles from Donington.

Friday night fine. Saturday night constant backwards and forwards from room opposite my room. Very nearly every half hour banging of doors. Banging on my door and people in corridor talking loudly. From 10.30 until I left at 7am.
