Days Inn Hotel Donington and East Midlands Airport  

The location I.E. proximity to the Airport

Insufficient sound-proofing

I was impressed with the receptionist on our arrival, the rooms were of a good standard. The experience of staying at the hotel was marred to a high degree as neither of our two rooms were serviced during our two night stay. This was because the member of staff went home early on New Years Eve rather than wait until noon when we vacated our rooms for the day. Wet towels left for changing were still on the floor upon our return. A shame because this was a good hotel and suited our needs but the lack of such a basic service detracted from our visit

See above the cleaning staff let your hotel down badly the lack of a basic room service and wet towels did not impress

Staff attitude could not be faulted very helpful. The rooms were used only to sleep in as we had a fully packed weekend so the room served the purpose. Would use again as I feel staff attitude is one of the most important factors when choosing a service.

Batteries in tv remote did not work.

I found the hotel was very clean and comfy and the staff very helpful and willing to help you in anyway they can.

I found this hotel hard to reach if you dont have transport,you need to drive or get a taxi as its of the motorway. I was told I can walk it and found myself trapped and climbing through a forest with a suit case and walking part of the motorway which I dont recommend! If you are using a taxi from location if you cross to the opposite side of the motorway via the path way which I found out after I struggled you will save £5 of your fare as you have to go up to come back down due to motorway so worth crossing to save that few pound.

The smoking rooms

I would rate it as £10.00 per night too much. Around £35.00 per night would be a fair reflection of the facilities, location etc

Staff very friendly pleasant and efficient. And although a little off the beaten track on the motorway, the hotel and it's location had everything you needed right there I.E. shop, restaurant, petrol station etc. so making it a very pleasant and comfortable stay.

Everything was fine but the only thing I did notice was that there didn't seem to be any aircon - I stayed in November so it wasn't something I needed to use but would imagine if staying there in summer months it could be a little stuffy and uncomfortable without that facility (as windows only open slightly and wouldn't allow much air in)

We find the Days Inn very convenient to use, easy to book in, alwys clean and very reasonably priced.For this reason we always stop there when we return to Castle Donington to visit family and friends.

Comfortable bed and a proper 3rd bed not a converted sofa. Easy to find. Free parking. Excellent value for money. Free wi-fi.

Lack of a proper restaurant meaning we had to eat elsewhere. Corridors smelt a bit stale. Room was hot during the night and windows were running with condensation in the morning.

Location said 3 miles from airport but was 8 miles. Would not have chosen it if had known this.

Friendly Staff, secure parking, easy access to motorways and airport

Banging corridor doors

Excellent staff at reception late at night

Rather noisy due to traffic

Convenience and breakfast facilities
