The hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean, practical, and comfortable, with the option for a delicious full breakfast at a reasonable price. However, noise from HGV refrigerator units outside made it difficult to sleep. The location provided good access to Leicester but felt a little uneasy at night, being close to the motorway services.

The hotel is conveniently located next to the motorway, making it ideal for a rest during a long journey. The rooms are equipped with a microwave, tables, and cutlery for added convenience. However, they overlooked a noisy lorry park, resulting in disturbed sleep due to constant truck sounds and airbrakes throughout the night.

The location is handy for a stopover during a long journey, being right next to the motorway. However, it can be noisy, and there are some safety concerns with loose stones and pebbles.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were excessively hot with no fan or air conditioning, and the noise from the lorry park was unbearable all night. On the bright side, the friendly service staff were helpful, and the location was perfect for my needs. Unfortunately, the dining experience left much to be desired.
