Ramada Encore by Wyndham Leicester City Centre
The lobby, bar, and staff were the best about the stay. Smart, clean, and very helpful. Then there's the room, very dated. It was at least clean. No carpet so noise from above and below could be heard. And the mattress definitely needed replacing, I could feel every spring.
