Mill on the Soar by Greene King Inns

This hotel was ok at best. The room I was in seemed to have a macerator nearby so whenever you or other people around, used the toilet, shower, bath or sink. The thing would kick in and make an awful noise. The bathroom door was difficult to open and close but you had to close the door as there was a bright light outside the window and the bathroom had a strange smell.

Very good, plenty of parking, good food reasonably priced.

It was generally very poor. The room had clearly been refurbished and certainly no complaints there. However the plumbing had a lot to be desired! The water supply is a pressurised system, when ever a tap was turned on, or toilet flushed, a pump started that was quite noisy! Especially during the night when neighbours pump could be heard as well! Also when system pressure dropped the pumps started up for a short period. Worse than annoying! Hungry horse food is generally acceptable but the breakfast was really not very good. Quality of food and presentation was really not up to standard. We were unable to sit in the breakfast area with two tables occupied and all the others had not been cleared! The thermos flasks with coffee and water were not very hot in fact the water was not hot enough to make a decent cuppa. Croissant were stale and no pasteries as listed on menu. Bread, white only and clearly had been sitting there (only covered with a small fly net) for quite a while. Please note there were no tongs or other implements for handling food. The cooked food was not up to standard. Bacon dry and burnt ( like cardboard) sausages had clearly been cooked a while earlier and were of very poor quality. I don’t want to add any more other than very poor. Service very poor but not the girl’s fault as she seemed to be on her own for most of the time. Did I get a chance to air my views when checking out not. Too busy with another customer! Just lent across and took key with a quick thank you
