convenient stay near king power stadium

free parking complimentary breakfast convenient location

The location was convenient for the football match. free parking was available. This helped a lot. i appreciated the complimentary breakfast offered each morning.

The lift had cracked glass. This made it look slightly unkempt.

Dining

a mixed experience overall.

broken air conditioning disruptive noise

the location worked for my needs.

The air conditioning did not work . a small fan was provided, but it barely cooled the room. the noise level was also quite high. I could hear loud noises through the walls late into the night, disrupting my sleep.

the parking was easy. it helped given the other issues.

The air conditioning was definitely not working in the room. It was very warm. a portable fan was provided, but it barely made a difference. also, the breakfast was not good. The scrambled eggs were dry and seemed like they had been sitting out for hours.
