Location
Located right in the heart of Leicester just a few minutes from the M1 and M69 Motorways, this hotel offers guests a great location with easy commuting in and out of Leicester. Fosse Park Retail complex is a few minute’s walk away where you can shop and eat out. Meridian Leicester is a few minute’s drive away where you will find restaurants, Vue Cinema and Hollywood Bowl for all your entertainment needs. Leicester City Centre is 15 minute’s drive away.
The hotel offers guests, free parking in their own car park which is right at the front of the building. It is pretty big so you shouldn’t have any issues finding a spot. The Marriott do have Business Conferences going on regularly so sometimes the car park does get busy but we did not have any issues finding a parking bay on both occasions we visited.

Value For Money
Price wise, there are cheaper hotels nearby. This hotel is in the mid rang. We booked an Executive Room (With Lounge Access) for around £130 per night for two adults. The lounge was stocked well with all the drinks and snacks you need. Overall we would say the price is fair. You are able to sometimes find deals on Booking.com but usually the average price remains the same throughout the year.
Service / Staff
The service is exactly what you would expect from a 4* hotel. The 24 hour concierge is always available for questions and help where needed. The rooms are cleaned well every day and the housemaid service is good. We’ve stayed here twice. On the first occasion we stayed in a standard room and on the second visit, in an Executive Room. Rooms did not differ too much. The main reason for upgrade we can see is the lounge pass.
Lastly – Would we go back YES! Although sometimes the price can seem a bit steep for what is available in other parts of the city, the all-round feeling we got was, this is a good 4* hotel and we enjoyed our 2 night stay. Everything you want is nearby and easily accessible by car.
