pleasant stay close to donington

comfortable bedspacious roomhot showerconvenient facilities
The location proved handy for my visit to donington park for a btcc race day. I avoided traffic entering the circuit main entrance coming from my direction. the bed offered great comfort and the room was spacious. I appreciated the hot shower and tea and coffee facilities. dining in the evening was nice.
the toilet roll holder in the bathroom was rusty, a slight detraction! i think the whole room could benefit from a fresh coat of paint.

The room was a lovely, spacious One-Bedroom Suite. It was nicely decorated and felt luxurious. The location IS nice. It is right in the center of the area.
The windows were old style and single glazed. This meant zero noise reduction from the road. The toilet roll holder was rusty and the room NEEDED some painting. It was unpleasant.
