Not the worst hotel but needs work.

When we arrived we were checked in by a quirky gentleman who told us for our other booking he couldn't allocate a room close by in advance but I could come come down in the morning and do it. Our room had lots of stains on the walls, headboards, bedding etc and I asked for an email address to send my concerns to, however my request was ignored. The room was on the cold side, In the morning I had the delight of dealing with an( I assume) untrained member of staff. Who allocated the room next to ours for my grandmother, we pre-paid the Parking and she said we could check in later. When we went to check in, the room was not allocated to us and my grandma was on the same floor but not next to us despite this being on the pre-booking, mentioned when we checked in and being confirmed. Anyway, The cleaner scared the life out of my grandma at 8 in the morning when she just walked into her room. The parking was not updated with her car reg despite it being provided so we couldn't leave the carpark and had to buzz ( still expecting a ticket through the post) then there was the 12 GBP glass of wine, the steamroom that smelled like pee and my further requests to discuss with someone via their site were completely ignored, leaving me no option but to review publicly. The gentleman that dealt with my grandma's second check-in was funny and amicable which is why it is 2* not 1* as he seemed to try. Nice hot chocolate provided though; only two in total from all the days and both rooms. Odd!

Wrap up warm!!!

This hotel was SO COLD!!!! Thank you to Zach for hunting down 2 portable heaters. Seriously, the room was cold, the lobby & the bar- who wants a nice drink at the bar huddled up in coats, not pleasant at all. Even the bar staff agreed… Some nice background music, a candle or 3, the lights dimmed opposite the bar AND SOME HEAT would transform this place it really would. Come on Radisson this needs sorting, I won’t be returning unless this changes for the better because everything else about this hotel is pretty good.

Not as great as previous visits

I actually really like the Radisson, it’s one of my favourite hotels, however this trip just wasn’t the best, there’s sticky stains in the wall, what looks like water damage and the room was freezing cold even with the heating turned on

Disappointing!

The room looked lovely, and the bed was comfortable, However, it was a very cold night and the room took a long while to warm up. We could not get any cold water from the tap. There was a laminated sheet giving information for room service but no information on how to use various items in the room. The bedroom and bathroom had an adjoining wall, with windows and there was no separate light for the toilet. Therefore the bathroom lights disturbed the other persons sleep. Eventually, we rang reception for help with the tap. Michael answered, and calmly explained that the water in the bathroom was always warm and there was two 600 ml bottles of water in the fridge for all our needs. Luckily we had bought water with us. The warm water was not hot enough to shave. We have visitors at our home, in Castle Donington and have spent 4 nights in local hotels. We saved the Raddison for our last night, expecting it to be the best but sadly it wasn’t. We were told at checkout that it was a accessible room, which we had not requested.
