![]() There is a small gym, but no swimming pool, but this does not bother us. The rooms are of a good size and the beds are big and bouncy and comfortable. You do get what you need in your room, such as shower creme and soap but if you have forgotten anything like a toothbrush, you can get one from reception. It might have been better to sit them all together! The hotel has recently been refurbished so carpets and decorations are of a good standard. Breakfast is also very good, and staff very attentive, although when we were there last, there was a lot of salesmen who had come for a conference and they were shouting across the restaurant at each other - perhaps they sold hearing aids. The food in the evening is well presented and of a good quality, and not too expensive (for hotel food) - neither is the wine too expensive. The staff are always very helpful and cheerful, on reception and in the restaurant and nothing has ever been too much trouble for them. The hotel is part of the Holiday Inn chain, but actually that is what we like about it. It is also just a few minutes by taxi from the railway station if you arrive by train. This is an ideal place if you want to walk into the city centre whilst leaving the car in a safe place. My son is at Nottingham Trent university and is based in the city centre so we need somewhere that we can all meet and which allows us to bring our small dog along. ![]() Reception were 'coldly' friendly although I subsequently could reach them by telephone to book a wake up call - it simply rang out. ![]() I always find it strange to find with a small double in hotel rooms these days, but many of the rooms at the Travel Inn seem to have. The room had all the usual traveller essentials, was clean and in good condition. The hotel was perfectly acceptable and a good example of hotels in this class. The hotel is on a retail park, with severeal eateries to choose from meaning that you are not just limited to the hotel (plus a Sainsbury across the road if you simply fancy and sandwich). With a shortage of decent looking B&Bs in the immediate area I opted for the Travel Inn since it was the cheapest of like hotels in the area (Premier Inn cheaper if you want dinner & breakfast as they offer a package). ![]() As I have got older (only mid 30's!), I appreciate more and more the personal touches (and cost) of a good bed & breakfast. ![]()
