I was really happy with my stay at Days Inn Leicester Forest East M1. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, offering great value for the price. The staff were very friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with anything I needed and making the experience easy and pleasant from check-in to check-out. For a budget-friendly option, the hotel exceeded my expectations — it was quiet, spotless, and convenient, with everything I needed for a short stay. I would happily stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, affordable, and well-managed place to stay near Leicester.

Breakfast was taken at 'The Good Breakfast'. A complete waste of money. There was NO choice- full English with tea or coffee or literally nothing. The food was dried out & lukewarm. No bread, toast or fried bread unless paid for separately. Guests queue at the shop counter along with passing buyers. The seating area was grubby with dirty dishes strewn around. Disgusting. The twin room, pre-booked was accessible so spacious & clean although the bath panel was shabby. Beds were comfortable enough. Tea & coffee making facilities were fine but little or no useful information in the room. Also it was on the ground floor presumably for ease of access but overlooked the car park so visitors were smoking at tables directly outside & it was too noisy at times to open the window, hence the room became stuffy. A fan was supplied to blow the air around. Some staff were polite & friendly, but not all. The Welcome Break toilets are temporarily sited in the car park making vehicular access in & out awkward.
