Lovely stay in Derby
We stayed at the Leonardo hotel smack bang in the middle of Derby. Huge hotel with friendly staff. Parking at the hotel is £8 for 24hours. Lots of pubs and restaurants nearby . Derby has a big shopping centre about a 10 minute walk. Breakfast was fantastic so much choice and everything hot and fresh. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Two night stay in York
We used vouchers given as a birthday treat for a two night visit to York.
After reading reviews we decided on the Novotel mainly due to its location sitting on the banks of the river and within easy walking distance of the attractions.
This hotel also has a car park, at a cost of £15 per night.
Large hotel, upkeep on the whole was good however the carpets in our room were badly stained and we had problems with getting constant hot water whilst showering but we managed.
I can't comment on the food as we decided to eat out, breakfast closes at 9.30 which is a little early for us.
For anyone with tickets for a show at the Barbican this hotel is ideal being only a 5 minute walk away.
Would definitely visit again
