The Hinckley Island Hotel is a great 4 Star Hotel. Easy to get to from the M6 or M69. Just get off J2 on the M69.
I've stayed there many times now and have samples the services there. The staff are all very polite and helpful. They all greet you in and around the hotel and are always willing to help.
The hotel is huge and luxurious. I've been lucky enough to have been upgraded from their Standard room's to their Suites twice in the 6 times i've visited the hotel.
The standard rooms are exactly that, standard. Certainly acceptable by most and can be booked most weekends for around £55 which is great!
The Suites are amazing! Made to be just like apartments they have a livingroom, bedroom and bathroom. Also the Suites have VIP packages inside so you get a fresh bowl of fruit and magazines, along with slippers and a robe.
The brasserie isn't the best restaurant I've been to, but they do provide a good service. However I would recommend the room service. Fast, efficient service and good food. Unfortunately they don't serve chips but they actually do a great Pizza. As long as you're prepared to pay the £4 Tray Charge.
As you enter the hotel to check in, you are greeted by the lovely reception staff who offer to take your bags to your room. The Triumph bar is a recent addition to the hotel as the former bar was old fashioned looking, but the Triumph Bar looks racy and hot as its kitted out with Triumph Motorcycles and Gas Fireplace that is really cosy to sit in front of.
They also have a great Piazza Bar which is good in the daytime if you want to sit and have a coffee whilst you're in a meeting or even if you want to relax and read the morning paper.
I don't hesitate in saying that the Hinckley Island Hotel is a great place to stay and I would recommend it to all.
