I had to spend a working weekend in Derby and wanted to find accomodation which included dinner as I would not be returning to the hotel until 8pm and didn't fancy setting off alone at night to find a restaurant. As it was the school holidays, many hotels were fully booked and the Internationsal was one of four which could still offer accomodation. I must admit, it would not have been my first choice but when I checked availability and was offered a weekend break with dinner and wine included for less than B&B at smaller hotels, I decided to give it a try. I found it easily, located not far from the ring road and parking was adequate (once the steep slope had been negotiated). The en-suite room was OK, satellite TV (Sky Sport 1,2 and3-very unusual!) iron and ironing board and a lovely cooling fan. Decor could have been better but there again this is a city hotel not a newly built "chain" hotel on the outskirts. Restaurant was bright and well set out, the meals were really superb both in choice and quality, served by friendly and courteous staff. There was even a disco in the basement for those with a penchant for dancing. I could not fault this hotel for value for money nor for service.
