The reviews above are still very much valid…so mostly pics this review, hope they help.

Stayed here this week and was hoping to get a suite upgrade but they were already taken (in fairness, I didn’t arrive until 21:00) so I just received an upgrade from a deluxe room with view (which I had booked) to an exec room (which I assume is the 4th floor).

There was still some parking available when I arrived but the next day it was full, however, it was a match day and they did have it roped off so depends on when you are staying I guess.

Check in was quick and I was given the letter you see at the bottom explaining the benefits.

Elevators are stupidly slow IMO, so I used the very nice wide stairs that are open and part of the front structure of the hotel as it only has 4 floors anyway.

I originally was put in a lovely bigger room on the Southern end (4027 IIRC) which was very nice BUT it was an adjoining room and I could easily hear another person in the next room…I had been in another Hilton the night before with the same adjoining room and was woken up several times so needed a good nights sleep and therefore walked back out and requested another room. I was quickly given room 4225 (at the other end, likely due to my request away from elevators) and this was a bit smaller but otherwise the same.

The internet worked fine but there are two logins (one for the DT and one for HHonors), I used HHonors and then you are greeted with three choices! two don’t work for free so finally managed to log in with the info they provide.

No welcome gifts in the room other than the two bottles of water.

As I changed rooms and arrived late, can’t say what the lounge is like unfortunately. The bar was busy and the restaurant that evening equally so. Both are on the pitch side of the building.

As others have said, there are some other stores around the hotel and stadium, including some fast food places and the ASDA.

For breakfast, I went to the restaurant and had a full English without any hassles about just being allowed the continental (as per the letter) so maybe they just print this but actually give everyone a full warm breakfast anyway as Diamond or Gold. I also ordered a cappuccino which was brought without any issue or extra charge, which was appreciated. There are now bagels, muffins (both American and English) and some other breads.

Rooms were nice and modern, lots of hot water. I would visit again if no match was on and from what I can remember it is certainly better than the Hilton MK. (which I visited several years ago before I found FT).

Anyway, hope the pics are of use…
