We stayed for 1 night on our way to a MSV trackday at Donnington Park. Our room was on the first floor overlooking the River Trent. The location was great. Parking was fine and overall a pleasant stay. We chose to eat in the restaurant - unfortunately too few staff meant service was not great. The Sunday roast was ok but also not great.

The staff were very helpful. The room needed some much needed TLC. Marks and stains all on walls. Hot tap in bathroom bath didn’t work. No complementary water in rooms, bar closed in morning so unable to get any refreshments. Thin duvet on bed and rock hard pillows but the location sold our stay there.

Out of the way riverside hotel with some rooms separate from the main building. We were in one of the separate rooms which had parking outside. Twin beds with a narrow bathroom with shower. One of the beds was very noisy - springs creaking at slightest movement and the floorboards above were extremely noisy so we heard every movement in the room above. Bar and food offering was good but they had run out of steak and burgers on Sunday night - the Sunday roast was a good alternative with a choice of meats. Would stay again as close to Donington Park but you need transport to get to it.
