We booked here as it was one of the few hotels with rooms remaining for the dates we were after. The parking is free, a bonus, as ones right in the city centre all charge 12-14 a night. We arrived before 2pm and there were no rooms available, which was fine, as we didn't think there would be. However, they couldn't just do check in either. Bit odd really. The room was clean and everything was in working order. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of wardrobe space. I did find the room temperature became quite hot in the night, even in December. The shower was not overly powerful, but it did the job, and they did have the added touch of complimentary shower gel and liquid soap. My main issue with this hotel is that the floor boards everywhere in the hotel creak loudly so you are disturbed by people in the other rooms and in the corridors. The walls were also thin so you could hear conversations in the adjoining room.We paid the extra few pounds for the hot buffet breakfast. This was a rather chaotic scene, with not enough tables for guests, not enough staff to clear tables or serve tea and toast and definitely not enough staff to keep the food stocked up on the buffet. I also thought they could have done with serving breakfast on a Sunday till after 10am. 11am would have been much better. I could not be bother to join the long, snaking queue for the hot food (especially as there was no meat alternative on offer from bacon and sausage) so opted for a continental style breakfast. It was ok, nothing special, this was also what my husband though of the hot food. All in all, its an ok hotel, ideally placed for Nottingham city centre with bus stops right outside the hotel.
My advice would be, don't bother with the breakfast, take some ear plugs and maybe look to book at a discounted rate, rather than the £74 we paid.

Thank you for your review
I was a particularly busy breakfast that morning whilst there was a lot of other guests around the restaurant everyone was seating in a timely manner
We look forward to seeing you again & perhaps you will enjoy a more leisurely breakfast
