......because the hotel is good value for money, quiet and comfortable [for a budget hotel] with very friendly helpful staff. It is about 5 miles from EAST MIDLANDS AIRPORT and is situated on the Welcome Break Service area of the A50 Westbound. Because it can only be accessed by traffic going west on the dual carriageway, getting to and from... More

Where do I start. Beds where terrible - no tea n coffee facilities bathroom was ok. no lounge area and there was a so called bar which was behind the reception. Took half an hour in a taxi to East Midlands, nothing at all to do in the hotel as its part of a service station. Staff where ok but... More

We always fine Days Inn and have a good experience but this one was better than most. The room was clean, linen fresh and well presented with towels that you expect to find in a 4 * hotel, and plenty of them. There is even a small bar at Reception. What lets it down is that the website tells you... More

We stayed 3 nights, paying £25 per night for a double room. At this price we were delighted. Would have been a acceptable standard up to about £65 per night. Its a pretty typical business hotel with all the room facilities you would expect for this. Good bathrooms, clean, modern decore, large rooms. Staff were very friendly. Allows dogs for... More

A bunch of us booked the Days Inn Donington as we had an event close by. The website has some very nice photos that paint a picture of a small hotel with bar and restaurant. The bar turned out to be a fridge of beer behind reception and the "restaurant" turned out to be the cafe in the petrol station... More

Stopped over for an early flight the next day, and was quite surprised with the hotel being next to a service station, seems surreal, but it worked fine. We did have one problem in that one of the rooms we stayed in had not been made up properly, there were hairs in the bed and bathroom, and in fairness the... More

The rooms were clean and spacious. Staff were excellent - 5 star in fact. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone. It's basic and off an A road behind a petrol station but I can't tell you how pleasantly surprised I was with this hotel. Nice clean rooms and comfy beds. Staff couldn't do enough.
