This is perfect for a one night stop over, or a base to explore the area they have recently introduced a £5 parking charge whereas it used to be free, be sure to factor this in if you plan to stay.

Room was satisfactory. The hotel is located in a motorway services area. On arrival was charged extra to park in the services car park as the hotel does not have a private car park. Purchased breakfast for two adults however this is a voucher that has to be redeemed in the services building next door to the hotel and at a particular concession. Breakfast options were limited at the vendor, so beware! Extra parking charge and poor breakfast would put me off booking here again.

Easy ample parking although you have to pay now if you don’t book directly with them. Staff were great and room fine for my needs but the fact I couldn’t completely shut/lock my window meant it was not the best nights sleep due to noise of the lorry park.

This has to be the Noisiest Hotel I ever have stayed in and won't be back there again from the moment I checked in I was in Room 218 terrible room grubby wooden floor poorly decorated but the issue is the noise from the Lorry wagon park next to the room window With Refrigeration Wagons and Trucks coming and going all night the noise is terrible then someone chapping my room door 🚪 and running away I thought it was school days then when I did fall asleep the Fire Alarm 🚨 went off so spoke with Reception in the Morning a nice lady called Lulu said she would move me room no issues or so I thought when I arrived at 5pm the Guy on Reception never had a Clue about me what room I was supposed to be in and I was hanging about for 15 mins until it got Sorted and Yes room 205 was a much much better room but each night car alarms going off in the Car park People under my window Smoking Shouting and Arguing and the Noise from the M1 motorway Vibrates through the crap room window . I was so glad the week was over and next week I will be going somewhere else . I would never recommend Days inn at this Location Not only because It's the First time I have been charged £25 for 5 nights parking never had that before at previous sites . Avoid this Hotel do yourself a Favour and go somewhere else .

A decent sized room but the maintenance of the room hasn’t been maintained. The window didn’t close properly which meant the noise from the traffic was extra loud (we were expecting some noise but not that loud). The remote control for the tv didn’t work, the standnext to the bed was missing so couldn’t put anything next to me and despite it being a room for 3 people we only had 2 towels.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with anything I needed and making the experience easy and pleasant from check-in to check-out.

For a budget-friendly option, the hotel exceeded my expectations — it was quiet, spotless, and convenient, with everything I needed for a short stay. I would happily stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, affordable, and well-managed place to stay near Leicester.

Breakfast was taken at 'The Good Breakfast'. A complete waste of money. There was NO choice- full English with tea or coffee or literally nothing. The food was dried out & lukewarm. No bread, toast or fried bread unless paid for separately. Guests queue at the shop counter along with passing buyers. The seating area was grubby with dirty dishes strewn around. Disgusting. The twin room, pre-booked was accessible so spacious & clean although the bath panel was shabby. Beds were comfortable enough. Tea & coffee making facilities were fine but little or no useful information in the room. Also it was on the ground floor presumably for ease of access but overlooked the car park so visitors were smoking at tables directly outside & it was too noisy at times to open the window, hence the room became stuffy. A fan was supplied to blow the air around. Some staff were polite & friendly, but not all. The Welcome Break toilets are temporarily sited in the car park making vehicular access in & out awkward.

Check in was slow , not down to the staff but a guest wanting to tell his life story. Eventually checked in they ask for £5 per day parking which is not on website. If you book direct with days inn it is free .
Rooms were good , plenty of worktop space . Bathroom clean and tidy and shower all fine . Pity about having to pay for parking as I believe this should be included in the hotel price when booked. Won’t be back for this reason as my company pays the hotel but not parking which equates to £25 to £35 per week out my own pocket .
