Handy for Belper
Good location, easy to park. Nice big room but decor a bit dated. Couldn't turn down heating in room so had to open a window overnight. We didn't eat in the hotel apart from the complimentary continental breakfast which was adequate.

Favourite hotel but....
We love this hotel. Friendly staff, great location, bar and restaurant excellent. The basic rooms are a bit small but the deluxe are really good. This time we stayed in the suite. The room never got very warm and the decor is tired. Please consider giving your main room a face-lift!
