What guests think

At Crowne Plaza East Midlands Airport by IHG, travellers frequently praise friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and a decent breakfast, while recurring gripes include thin walls and other noise, patchy bathroom maintenance, and mixed experiences with the restaurant.

Guests like the pool and gym, though sporadic issues include the spa being closed, time limits for the pool, an out of service lift, unmarked EV chargers blocked by cars, and a paid parking fee that some disliked. A few note design and comfort quirks such as hard sofa beds, bright LEDs or door light bleed at night, long and cool corridors, and low shower heads. The location is considered convenient, but there are few dining choices within easy walking distance. Overall, it suits travellers seeking convenience and solid value, with a few trade offs to note.

We had a sofa bed for our daughter in the room. It was so uncomfortable. You could feel every wire. We picked the hotel for electric charging. There were 2 charging bays which were not marked as electric charging bays and there were 2 petrol cars parked in them so couldn’t charge our car.

We were booked for an overnight stay to enable a early morning start in Nottingham. This hotel used to be a favourite but has now become to corporate. £8 to park overnight for one night while a guest of the hotel is just a hidden charge that should be included in the room rate. Reception staff and manager showed appalling service. Redeeming factor was an excellent breakfast.

Didn’t have time for breakfast, but will most definitely have it next time. Great find, and convenient for the M1 south.

Overall the property was very clean and well maintained and the staff was kind and helpful. Be aware that the location and size of the “courtyard” shown in the booking images were misleading. The location was tucked away on a very, very small corner of the property. The spa was closed for renovations during our stay as well. The restaurant, Marco’s, was a big disappointment for anything outside of breakfast. Our meal order was mixed up, my partner’s steak was overcooked, both steaks were bland, and the side dish offerings were slim. I would definitely stay at the hotel again just know that there aren’t many dining options within walking distance.

The hotel is dated. Old infrastructure and it is a bit odd that Level 2 and level 3 have only about 5 feet difference but that didnt cause us much inconvenience. Biggest issue was plumbing and bathrooms in the hotel. I was given a room wherein the shower was rusted and water pressure dismal. I couldn't get any water through the shower head. On complaint, I was given a second room which had a seperate shower but an electric shower head. I made mistake of using it and either it blasted ice cold or super hot water. A few minutes later, I realised the toilet seat was broken. I went to the reception to complaint and was told that the hotel is fully booked and they cant do much about it at the hour. To be fair, staff was polite and as compensation offered me free breakfast but in his own words - it didnt remediate the original issue. When I am paying £150+ for a night, I expect a clean, functioning bathroom and toilet and not £15 free breakfast. After my return, I provided the feedback vai the IHG feedback request (Did I mention I am a member of their rewards scheme) and their response was: Points noted but were not our fault because we expect previous guests to report the issue. It wasnt reported to them before i checked in and they didnt feel responsible for all the faults.... Really??? DO you expect previous guests to report old creaking infrastructure and broken toilets? Well, your wish was granted just now!

Arrived at the room and the sofa bed had not been made up despite a child booking. Two showers in the bathroom and both were barely usable. The cubicle was a trickle and Luke warm at best and the bath shower was scolding hot and the cold tap didn't work to cool it down. When we went to bed there was a beam of light coming from the door and shining right across your face, making it very difficult to get to sleep. Even the light from the peephole shone a circle on the wall just above the bed. It was awful when you want to relax. Genuinely disappointed in the room and the breakfast could have been much better. We often stay near Kegworth and this was our first time at the Crowne Plaza. Maybe we were really unlucky with our room and hard cornflakes, but as things stand I won't be planning to stay there again. Staff were all lovely though and the rest of the hotel looked very nice. Need to work on the important details though I'm afraid.

Hotel was okay apart from the latch on the bedroom door being faulty. A little distressed about it as it was the day I checked in. I locked the door ready to settle down for the evening, but remembered that I had left something in my car. As I tried to exit the room the latch was stuck and had to phone reception who sent someone to break me out. The saving grace is that I needed to leave the room and that it did not happen during a fire! They did move me to another room unfortuantely it felt like it was a step down from the one I was in. (It was smaller)

Breakfast had very little cooked food available. Waited for nearly 15 minutes before someone came to ask what we needed? Bacon, eggs might be a good idea! Pastry options were not fresh and were hard. If I stay again I won’t be eating breakfast at the hotel. Shocking. Room was ok but if you have the AC on then the room is lit up with by the LED. Was ok but not sure I’d stay there again.

This is a challenging review. We were really happy with the room and the breakfast (the service from the breakfast staff was impeccable and the food nice), however, after being out all day we returned at 10:30pm to discover the room had not be serviced. We understand oversights can happen, however, when we spoke to the front desk we received neither an apology nor an explanation and instead got a bit of gruff response and they asked us to wait 20 mins (given the hour and with a 3 year old we couldn’t wait that long). In the morning upon checking out, we raised it just as an aside and the lady at the desk was only concerned whether we raised it the night before, and when we said yes, she just said good - again no apology or explanation. It is disappointing as it really did detract from an otherwise great stay.
