Days Inn Watford Gap

All ok

Large stain on carpet - presumed was why we we given this particular room as we had dogs. Discovered it actually wasn't a 'dog' room so would have been very unimpressed if we had been given it without dogs. Poor maintenance awareness - hot water was literally pouring out from overflow pipe at roof level for the whole 36 hrs we were there. We reported it in the morning and it was still pouring out 10 hrs later

Mainly the price good value for money.close to the motorway. Large rooms well heated despite being solely electric. Still 11am check out Tanis and her team trying very hard against the odds to make it a pleasant experience

Access from the north bound is beautifully explained and easy to follow still a bit of a faf,and not comfortable meeting two police cars while ignoring no entry signs. The whole place is becoming rundown carpets needed cleaning outdated plumbing and leaks leaving their mark on the floor and walls. The wash hand did not hold water.

The gentleman at reception was very accommodating and nice considering we arrived quite late and had a lot of luggage, corridors were warm and rooms cosy and very clean, good value for a budget hotel and ample parking for our van.

Some of the decor although clean is a little dated and could do with updating like the carpets in the room, also on arrival exterior did not look inviting , and I thought initially it was complicated to get to as we were heading northbound and its location is southbound, but we managed by following the hotels instructions and it was all fine

Built long ago enough to have a bath as well as a shower; luxury to be able to soak after a long day! Generally updated to a modern standard including a good modern TV. More space than in some recent builds, and the window opened as far as you wanted for fresh air with no annoying limiter or sealed unit. Really very quiet despite (obviously) a motorway very close.

One or two things were showing their age, in particular the bedside lamps, and some might prefer air conditioning in hot weather. Catering at services rather limited with nowhere for a proper sit-down evening meal.

Reception personnel excellent - in particular James. What a gentleman! Room very spacious & warm. Quiet location. Bed super clean and comfortable. Just a good feel about the place. Plenty of eating places next door!

Room was not perfectly clean, but good enough! It is on the M1 southbound.... check access to the other side of the M1 Daventry - a few miles to travel! My own lack of research

The price for our stay was awesome. We were on the way back from a very long journey and I needed a night sleep! Was able to book and within the hour in the hotel. Easy to get to if travelling Northbound too so there will be instructions on how to get there exclusively rather than turning around at the next junction - there is a bridge that Days Inn customers can use at the junction. The lady at the reception was really nice too.

It was convenient, clean and comfortable. Food and drink on hand at all times of the day from the facilities at the services. Staff were friendly, helpful and approachable. My dog was allowed to stay too.

Some construction work going on around the hotel but it didn’t affect our stay and there was no excessive noise due to any works being undertaken

We made the booking as my Mum was taken Ill at Northampton services. The lady on the desk was extremely kind and helpful. She had been rung by Northampton so knew the situation and moved us to a room downstairs. We only used the room for a few hours to rest but all was good, clean and well laid out etc. she also made sure we had some water each which was a lovely touch.

N/A

Staff were friendly and helpful on check-in answering all my questions well. The room was su[prisingly quiet, it was clean and the bed was comfortable. I was given information about where I could access breakfast. It had everything I needed for an overnight stop over.

Unsecured wi fi so didn't feel able to use it safely. Parking spaces seemed limited.

The stand-in concierge was very professional and friendly. She explained how she was just covering for the usual manager due to illness. She could t have been more helpful. Location is great and very useful for tired drivers.

Not much. The water was cold but this was resolved by moving to another room.
