I prefer a bit more character, or better yet a service…read moreapartment or flat rental... with a friend or two they are often the same price, if not cheaper, than a typical hotel. Not being a huge football fan (shoot me, I know), I'm not sure I'm as enamoured with this hotel as most. That said, it's definitely not a bad place to stay if in the area. For a typical hotel this place really does tick most of my boxes... the aircon in the rooms works a treat, the black out curtains actually block out all of the exeternal light, there is a small fridge in the room for your own drinks and snacks, and the rooms themselves are spacious... complete with a desk and extra chairs. Even not being a football fan, I must admit that the view into the stadium from the onsite restaurant is quite cool... I believe some rooms have a view as well, so obviously this can be a huge plus. The breakfast here was on par with what you would expect, but extra props for the eager willingness to make eggs however you wanted them. I can't speak to the dinners as I didn't have the chance to try them. The only odd negative can be the sheer size of the hotel as it wraps around the pitch... my particular room was hilariously far away from the entrance which proved a bit of an annoyance when after a long day my keycard no longer functioned... it was nearly soul destroying knowing my bed was just there on the other side of the door with no way for me to get to it. Based on my disclaimer I'm going with four stars personally, as I certainly wouldn't be upset staying here again, but if you're a football fan or if you generally prefer hotels such as the DoubleTree Hilton then I doubt you'll find much fault.

Quite possibly the nicest hotel I have ever stayed at! Huge, modern rooms that more resemble…read moresuites! If you are a football fan expect to be impressed with your own private balcony view of the pitch! All rooms have a mini-bar, although you have to ask for it to be stocked. Food was excellent and breakfast even more so amazing. The best part of the whole visit, was having a warm double chocolate chip cookie shoved in my hand by the receptionist at check in! Downsides is it can be pricey when you go direct to Hilton, however check out some of the booking sites like LateRooms or Lastminute to get the best deals. I paid £70 for a night in a pitch side room. Expect the prices to rocket wherever you buy from on match days!

I love this carvery!! Weird you may say coming from a vegetarian!…read more When we visit we just order the carvery veg and you get it for the price of a kids meal. They do other dishes for veggies but I never have them. They do veggie gravy which is very nice. Yummy yorkshires and stuffing. For meat eaters you get the choice of gammon, turkey and you can have either or a mix of the two. They serve seasonal veg and their menu changes after 7 in the evening they add red cabbage, potatoes in butter and garlic and a few other treats. A lot of there veg is buttered but if you are a vegan they will especially steam you some veg and leave it unbuttered. I have always found the service really good and friendly. I would say avoid it on a Sunday as it gets really packed or go for a late roast. There is good parking all round with quite a number of disabled spaces. Yum Yum I could eat it now!

First of all the layout inside is unusual and wonderful. Large tables and lounge chairs make this comfortable for coffee meetings and / or afternoon drinks for business whilst maintaining a great pub bar, not an easy trick to pull off. The food is also outstanding, definitely better than you'd expect and certainly restaurant standard +. Thats not all the wine list is good too, they offer much more than the standard cheap Australian screw tops usually found in English pubs. But this pub is also a hotel and I stayed in room 5 which was warm, clean and had a great rain shower. The bed was comfortable too and my only gripe would be that the wardrobe was tiny and my view out of the window was grim. But this is a lovely English pub and it deserves a look from anyone able to visit.

There is a nice enclosed paved area away from the main street, and private car parking at the rear accessible from Vicarage Road at the rear. The bar meals are generally good value, but I've found some of their mass catering for groups to be rather disappointing.

Room was not big but comfy, and well appointed. However I had a double room only for myself so it would be quite small for 2 ppl. I'd prefer fluffier towels but they were acceptable.

My travel companion had the standard and it was 2 twin beds, no flat screen TV, tiny bathroom, etc. I had to laugh because I thought my relatively spacious room was cramped. People were very friendly. It was the tail end of a long business trip so I pretty much just ordered room service for meals. Loved the fish and chips although I had better at a local pub but for a Holiday in and room service, piping hot and great crispy batter! The mushy peas had too much mint. Elsewhere I had them with subtle mint and I think a bit of lemon squeezed in and actually like them. Chips were actually better than elsewhere. When you ask for a beer, they don't mess around. A pint seems automatic... which was quite fine with me! Front desk was uber-helpful. I brought the wrong power plug. My travel partner didn't bring any at all. We got loaners without a problem. I got a candy bar every time I walked by. (I'm not sure what it is about Europe and the Mars bars but okey dokey... you offer me free chocolate I'm not going to say "no") Pleasant, uneventful stay... oh!.. and the windows open!

Would've been ideal had the TV dealt with my check out, and even better had my calls to room service been answered. Sadly, this knocks a star off my ratings. Fair warning: HInn is one of the farthest from MK Central among a cluster of hotel properties. A hike (uphill, mind you) could take up to 20 minutes. Add to that luggage and the summer heat, one's better off taking a cab. Plus side is that the town shopping mall is just 5 minutes further up the main road.
