Off for a 3 night stand to Chesterfield. Visited Clivedon en route. Our room overlooked a motorway. The noise was very bad at times. Opening the windows to get the tempersture down brought in the noise. There was an adjacent disco which ran through the night. We should have asked for a room change but were too polite to embarrass the tour organiser, who is a friend of ours.
The restaurant menu in the room was excellent, at table we had a different one, a typical charabanc special. Water for whisky appeared in pint tumblers. There was a resident idiot who declaimed in the bar. He liked to wear his hat all times.
There were many conference rooms, a ballroom even a swimming pool. But sadly the hotel wifi worked for windows OS but not for linux. Happily Chesterfield Station wifi is accessible from the hotel and worked well, so the day was saved.
The lift is probably 1920 vintage but does function quite satisfactorily.
Our room had a communicating door to the next one, on our last night we had what might have been a honeymoon couple in residence. There was a wedding reception at the hotel. We were somewhat embarrassed, it added to the motorway noise and the disco noise and sleep was in short supply.

Hotel looks like a shit-hole. Sorry for the language, but someone had to say it.
