Friendly staff, and a nice looking place inside. My problem was the food. Its certainly not outstanding, I'd say it was distinctly average. If that's your thing you will have an enjoyable meal. What let his meal down was the fact it had been microwaved be being brought to our table, resulting in part warm and park cool food. Dessert was no different. So much better than the mess it has replaced and the new owners deserve recognition for that, but the food needs more work.

When my agent booked the room I asked for King size bed. I…read moreknow European hotels have a reputation for being small. My room was quite comfy but then when I got the bill it was a "suite"! My travel companion had the standard and it was 2 twin beds, no flat screen TV, tiny bathroom, etc. I had to laugh because I thought my relatively spacious room was cramped. People were very friendly. It was the tail end of a long business trip so I pretty much just ordered room service for meals. Loved the fish and chips although I had better at a local pub but for a Holiday in and room service, piping hot and great crispy batter! The mushy peas had too much mint. Elsewhere I had them with subtle mint and I think a bit of lemon squeezed in and actually like them. Chips were actually better than elsewhere. When you ask for a beer, they don't mess around. A pint seems automatic... which was quite fine with me! Front desk was uber-helpful. I brought the wrong power plug. My travel partner didn't bring any at all. We got loaners without a problem. I got a candy bar every time I walked by. (I'm not sure what it is about Europe and the Mars bars but okey dokey... you offer me free chocolate I'm not going to say "no") Pleasant, uneventful stay... oh!.. and the windows open! (I love fresh air and particularly like a nice cool room to sleep in so that was a bonus)

Would've been ideal had the TV dealt with my check out, and even better had my calls to room service been answered. Sadly, this knocks a star off my ratings. Fair warning: HInn is one of the farthest from MK Central among a cluster of hotel properties. A hike (uphill, mind you) could take up to 20 minutes. Add to that luggage and the summer heat, one's better off taking a cab. Plus side is that the town shopping mall is just 5 minutes further up the main road.

It is situated close to Bletchley Park. The latest event I went to was a huge birthday party. The interior is quite nice with marble statues and a water feature. They have caterers who did the buffet for the event. It was italian food and it was second to none, there was a large selection of foods with lots there for me as I am a veggie. There is a dance hall area with a large stage, you can put up extra tables and chairs here if you wish. There is also a separate bar area which is still in view of the dance floor, there are tables and chairs here as well so lots of places to take the weight off your feet after dancing all evening. There is also a balcony which was closed when we went but was good fun when we were kids! The parking is almost non existent which is a real pain. But a fantastic venue non the less.
