Hampton by Hilton Corby/Kettering

This Hampton is nice enough, the staff are friendly (almost everyone is in England!) and the rooms are clean and big enough for the price (a bargain at 10,000 points a night!). The breakfast is surprisingly good and is well maintained by the staff. Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, potatoes, baked beans on the hot side (plus a waffle machine) and then the usual muffins etc., fresh fruit, yoghurt and a pretty decent coffee machine. Definitely worth a stya if you need to be here at any time (I came for the point rate!!)

They had a live band on Saturday night - parking was impossible!!

Hampton Hotels are pitched at the same market as a Holiday Inn Express or Premier Inn. It's affordable (around £59 a night) and comfortable. I stayed here for two nights and enjoyed it. You get a nice room with a comfy double bed, flat screen TV, small desk and chair, L shaped corner sofa and a nice bathroom with a large shower (big enough for two). The staff were really friendly and helpful too.
Breakfast was a buffet of hot foods and the usual toast, cereal and yoghurts. And there was also late night bar for those drinks after work. But expect to pay hotel prices.
Nearby there's a Dominoes pizza, Greggs and Subway, if you're peckish, or a Wetherspoons next door for more meal options.
Overall I enjoyed my stay there, although the whole hotel had the Air Con on a bit too low for my liking (some rooms were centrally controlled).
It's a lovely place to stay if you're in town for work, and would even make a good place to stay if you're out for day trips. But the lack of other local amenities makes it less ideal for more relaxed stays.
