Ibis Rugby East, Crick (Northamptonshire)

I stopped by this hotel right off the M1 during my journey, providing easy access to the motorways for my onward travel. I made friends with others here for a sports event. The rooms were clean and contemporary, though the surrounding noise meant keeping the windows shut. The service was friendly and efficient, with immediate issue resolution. While the hotel's dining was disappointing with limited options, the location and service made up for it.

I was quite surprised by the untidy and dirty rooms after attending a family get together. However, I was pleased with my own room as it met my expectations - clean, comfortable bed, and all necessary amenities. The hotel's proximity to my workplace was convenient, and the staff was friendly and helpful.

The hotel rooms were nice and modern with all expected facilities, except for a waste paper bin missing. The makeover gave them a fresh look, but they could have done with a bit of bleaching. The staff were very friendly and helpful, providing advice about the parking system. However, I had to phone back to get a copy of the invoice. The location, while quiet, was adjacent to the M1, making it convenient for motorway access. The dining experience was slightly chaotic, with some waiting required for food replenishments. Keep in mind the hotel's surroundings in an industrial site area. Overall, a decent stay with a few minor inconveniences.
