Updated artist impressions of what the proposed hotel in Mansfield will look like as part of the Field Mill football stadium have been released.
Mansfield Town FC owner John Radford plans to build the hotel into the stadium as part of the Ian Greaves stand and Quarry Lane end.
The new hotel will be built under the flagship of international brand Hampton by Hilton.
The hotel would be the first one in Mansfield.

Local dignitaries and commercial partners were shown the plans in a meeting this morning (Tuesday February 6).
Members of the public were shown the plans in the afternoon in an exhibition at the Kevin Bird Suite.
The club reportedly contacted Mansfield District Council last week for pre-application advice on the development.
No formal planning application has been submitted as of yet.

The images were released on the same day a new treatment room was named in former academy physotherapist Matt Salmon’s honour, who died in May last year at the age of 25.
Matt was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2010 and died shortly after announcing his retirement after being given ‘weeks to live’ by doctors.
The new room, situated in the Quarry Lane Stand, was opened by Matt’s wife Emily and his immediate family.
The room will be used to treat Stags’ injured first team players during the week.
Matt’s father Andy said: “His focus was mainly towards the players and I think he would have been delighted to have a better treatment room to treat the players – that is where his heart was.
“He loved working here.
“We are so proud as a family to have this named after him; we are so pleased and very thankful.”
Operations director Tina Broughton said: “Everyone at the club was unanimous in the belief a new treatment room should be named after Matt.
“As a professional, he was highly respected and his duty of care towards the players was second-to-none.
“As a person he was warm, kind-hearted and possessed an admirable spirit.
“Though he was a humble young man, we know he would have been extremely proud by having a new treatment room named after him for the benefit our medical staff and first team players.”
