OYO Blaby Westfield Hotel

The staff were very friendly but, the hotel was very tired. The reception area was quite nice when you walk in, then the hallways were very dingey. The wall paper was coming away from the wall in my room, the curtains were heavy single curtains which couldn't really be opened properly. There were just 2 single electrical sockets in this day and age isn't enough really, cables hanging loosely from the television it felt like a hostel. The outside was not very welcoming, everything was very scruffy, not maintained, not inviting at all. There was an Indian restaurant with a bar with limited drinks and which closed quite early too. I will not be staying again unfortunately as it was situated in a decent place.

The manager was very helpful, my wife was having difficulty getting up the stairs, due to a broken femour several months ago, he immeadiately sorted out another room to make it easier for her, he was very helpful, very polite, the room was very clean, parking was good, hotel had easy access, we were vert happy with our stay there, Geoff C

Checking in is 4pm, we had to be somewhere at 4pm so tried to book in earlier. No receptionist, just a phone number to ring. Would not let us book in any earlier. Returned later that evening to check in, had to ring again, the 'receptionist' appeared to check us in, not the warmest of welcomes we have received at check in. Gave us room 141 keycard, went to the room, bed was unmade, coffee cup half full of coffee, bin half full and towels in the bath. Room was warm though. Went back to reception to complain, gave us room 140 without apologising, just said 'not sure how that happened'. Room okay, but radiator was off, so the room was cold. Went to the restaurant for a drink, my wife had a latte and I a beer, £9.00. Checked the drinks menu when we returned to the room, cost should have been £8.45! Tried to make a coffee, went to fill the kettle and it had a brownish scum in it, did not use it. We have used the hotel many times over the years to visit family, but not anymore.

Third time that we have stayed here. We stay once a year at Christmas, visiting family in the locality. It is a fair value hotel, which is a bit tired but perfectly adequate for what we need. There is a gym which I believe guests can use, but I don't know if there is a fee as it is run by a separate company. As soon as you get into your room, do check that you have everything you need such as enough towels, pillows, teaspoons etc. If anything is missing, just phone the number on your room card and the manager will be happy to sort things out for you.

Fine for a one night stay. A little more attention to detail. Dirty mirror and bedside lamp not working. Served our purpose though.
