Used the hotel prior to a trip to Donnington Park motor racing circuit (handily placed). Parking was a little tight in the narrow bays. Hotel was clean and bright. Room was clean and well presented. Bed was neat and fresh. Bathroom was dated but shower was good. Staff were friendly and very attentive (reception desk and restaurant).
Decided to have evening meal in restaurant but regretted it, instantly. We ordered ‘crispy squid’ and chicken burger. The squid was barely warm and was just a greasy coating with a horrible rubbery filler. Tasteless. I had to decant my first mouthful into the supplied napkin. We sent the food back immediately and were told we could claim a refund at reception (processed without a fuss). Our next course, the chicken burger was, merely, edible. The accompanying fries tasted as though they had been cooked with our starter squid in old oil and then left to sit for a while before being served. Rock hard with minimal potato content. We ate the chicken and left everything else on the plate.
£62.85, thank you very much.
I have to say, I was embarrassed for our waiter, George H, who had to bring this from the kitchen and serve it to us. He was a very polite and nice chap.
All said and done, I would use the hotel again, but would definitely eat elsewhere.
