Perfect for Nottingham University

Unfortunately, one of the worst rooms we've stayed in As soon as we walked into the room there was a strong smell of damp, so bad it was hard to breathe. We soon found out why: the bathroom was carpeted, and water from the shower was running straight out onto the carpet. Cleanliness was poor throughout. The room was dusty, and the fan blades had visible clumps of dust on them. The sink was so dirty that we wiped it down with a towel ourselves, and the towel came away filthy. The "king-size" bed was actually two beds pushed together, with no mattress topper to cover the join, so you could feel the gap all night. The food was also very expensive for what it was. There was no proper area for the buffet; it was laid out on the drinks counter. The desserts were tiny and overpriced, which we found hard to believe. To be fair to the manager, he was sympathetic when we raised our concerns. He offered us one of their best rooms on a future visit, but after this experience we won't be returning, so we chose the refund option he also offered. However, we paid £174 and in the end received only £70 back, which wasn't what we'd been led to expect. The hotel is advertised as 4-star, but based on our stay it fell well short of that standard. We couldn't wait to leave. I'd advise other travellers to read recent reviews carefully and to check their room before settling in.

Excellent site with lots of things to do. The accomodation was clean and very airy. The location was ideal for us as it was near the end of Conningsbury runway which was one of main reasons for our visit. Nice bars, a little pricey, but a good choice of ale's and cocktails. No late partying which was good. Great location for all of the various visitor sites and airfield's. Good for getting to Lincoln also.

Lovely welcome, spotless room and bathroom with gorgeous toiletries. Excellent food Highly teconmend

En-suite and bedroom clean and ideal for business overnight staff

As a bar and restaurant this venue is lovely, as a hotel its found wanting. The rooms are advertised with king sized beds, but there are only doubles. On top of this the mattresses are so umcomfortable, lumpy and noisy springs. Had to get a second duvet to soften it up. At the rear of the hotel you have the night door which shakes the place whenever its slammed shut, and if you have a window open you get an intermitant waft of weed smoke from surrounding residents and or guests/staff. The breakfast is a basic continental, and its first come first served it seems as its not topped back up. Its a shame as its a lovely place with lovely food and drink, just not a great hotel experience.
