Kings Highway, Derby by Marston's Inns

All good

Nice carvery, everything good. Bit slow checking me in

We stayed for three nights, reasonable sized room, comfortable bed, adequate bathroom. Room could do with seeing a duster a little more regular.

Check in at the pub, nice pub, good food. Big room, great parking. For the price this is excellent value and I got a good nights sleep.

I've stayed at several Marston's hotels before and they have been high standard for a budget brand. The KIng's Highway is poor. It is starting to look run down. A bed with a protrudiing spring, a collapsing bed settee, and in my first room a window with a broken handle.

Location & convenient for motorway . Room was poorly appointed.

Carpet in the room was dirty, basic room no fridge lack of water pressure in the shower struggled to wash the soap off

Very noisy customers in pub

Room and bed comfortable Bathroom needed cleaning . It had fresh towels but sink and bath were left unclean with an old used bar of soap left on the bath.

Room had long black hair in bath when arrived. Pillows flat and uncomfortable. No lift which caused an issue as had newborn baby and 5 year old, suitcase, and cot all to get up the stairs. Couldn’t bring pram due to no lift so had to struggle carrying car seat and all other luggage. Checking in at the bar with all luggage and children while people drinking and being noisy wasn’t great for the kids. Lots of people smoking out back over looking child play area, was raining any way but if it wasn’t I wouldn’t feel comfortable my child playing with loads of smokers around. Breakfast was too salty and had burnt toast under avocado. Wouldn’t stay again with kids. No staff offered to help me even though it was clear I was struggling with luggage. Members of public held doors and helped but staff should be more helpful.
