The room door was extremely difficult to open from the inside. It was a struggle for me in 215. Also, why isn't the light for the bathroom next to the bathroom door? Really inconvenient!!

Average
Misunderstanding with blue jays online check in. When u check in it looks like u can get £20 worth of food and drinks credit for £10. However this is not the case. It’s really confusing and needs to be worded better. The member of staff which we was talking about it with was quite rude and made us feel uncomfortable. Tbh I did think the deal was too good to be true anyway but just if the staff member would have been a bit more understanding it would have annoyed us as much. Food was poor quality. Didn’t sleep well as right next to the door for the stairs which didn’t have a soft close. Rest of the staff we encountered were good. And the room was decent enough for what we paid. On the plus side Croissants were really good at breakfast.

Great pub,defo great food and hotel
The staff at the blue jay pub were absolutely lovely and so helpful ,all i have to say is probably a member of staff needs to be alocated in the hotel to save keep walking to the pub to get extra milk ,sugar and toilet roll ,oh and the doors from the hotel room doors are the most loud and scary ones being slammed for hours and hours on end and the floor from the room above us we were room 108 is the most loudest floor heard every footstep all around there rokm so came back from weekend stay very very tired but other than a few minor things we will defo be back next year and will tell family about the pub and hotel if ever in derby
