Holiday Inn Derby Nottingham M1 J25

I liked being able to have a smoking room although the agent on the telephone told me that none were available at this hotel. As there are only two smoking rooms in this hotel, I was very lucky to secure one on check in and would like to suggest that you inform people of this option when they telephone to book.

My room was opposite the pantry which meant a very disturbed night as I was awoken by clattering of pots whenever anyone requested room service. I also found the room very cold. The notice said the heating is turned on only in the autumn and winter months, however, as you know, England can be cold at any time. The hotel is very badly signposted. There is a sign at the roundabout but none to show where the hotel drive is. Both myself and my visitor spent at least ten minutes driving around looking for the entrance. A sign would be good.

I found the hotel, as I have each time I have stayed there to be very pleasant and very convenient for me and my business needs.

The location was very convenient for the motorway and was within walking distance of Sandiacre.

The food was not very good
