Great hotel everytime!
Great hotel, super convenient for us and Donington race circuit. Booked interconnecting rooms for our family and this worked perfectly for us. My son left his new teddy behind and the reception team located his toy and kindly sent it back to him!

Great hotel for East Midlands Airport
The hotel was so convenient to get to the airport hence why we stayed there. Plenty of parking which was great and the shuttle bus on time and prompt. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

Handy location for airport and racetrack.
I was at Donington Park race track for a race meeting again. I uusally stay in the Radisson. It's ok, and handy.
Not a cheap stay, considering. Room overlooking runway considered an 'upgrade'. No separate shower - just shower in bath, step in to use.
Bar in lobby is ok, but there never seems to be enough seats or stools at the bar. Cold Moretti on draft is a bonus.
I didn't eat in the restaurant this time - i have on occasions previously. I went to a pub in Castle Donington for dinner this time.
Usual question - would i stay again? It's a Yes. Even though it doesn't seem to be value for money, it is certainly handy and clean.
