Travel:

The Museum of Making is easily accessible by car or public transport. It's a mere 15 min walk from Derby Railway Station and goes through a park by the River Derwent (it really is quite lovely), and there are plenty of car parks a few mins walk to the venue nearby (sadly no on-site parking is available).

Hotels:

There is a Premier Inn (Derby City Centre) a mere 3 mins walk away with others very close by.
