NOT ALWAYS CHEAP OR CHEERFUL
"With chains like this and Premier Inn for example, it's easy to criticise and bemoan the lack of this and that, but they do what they do quite well. It's a no frills experience, much like that of a low-cost airline, but especially for just one or two nights perhaps, they have to be considered a serious option." ... Read More »
WIFI FRAUD - AVOID IF YOU CAN
"I decided not to stay the second night I had booked, as I simply can't operate without WiFi! Leaving is one of the best ways to force the issue of bad service and another is to inform others that paying for something you don't receive is unjust." ... Read More »
FOUR STARS YES - FOUR POSTERS NO!
"Not only was the four-poster bed from the 16th century, but I'm guessing the mattress was the original one fitted back then too, as it had clearly seen many centuries of action and no longer offered a comfortable resting place for a slightly overweight business traveller." ... Read More »
LACKING IN A NUMBER OF KEY AREAS
"After 4 nights in the bed in apartment 3, I felt like I'd had back surgery, performed by a sadistic witch doctor. Not only was the double bed actually 2 singles pushed together, but the mattress (on both sides), was well past its best and no longer fit for purpose." ... Read More »
MIXED EMOTIONS AFTER TWO 3 NIGHT VISITS
"Unfortunately, it wasn't until I had been served a variety of dishes, including greasy Whitebait, not spicy "spicy chicken wrap", a nice (but incorrectly-cooked) steak, (with unsalted fries & no salt) and an OK burger (with pre-salted fries & salt on the tray), that I discovered the hotel's terrible hygiene rating! I must remember to check these ratings before booking my hotels, and certainly before eating in them." ... Read More »
NOVOTEL WEMBLEY SCORES HIGHLY
"I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptionally warm welcome I received upon check-in, which was as efficient as it was warm. Immediately upon approaching the hotel it's abundantly evident that this is a hotel offering a smart and professional standard." ... Read More »
VERY CHEAP, QUITE CHEERFUL
"Being part of a stag party, the room was only ever going to be a place to rest my drunken head, so I opted to enjoy the £2.00 housekeeping discount, and pick my own towels up off the floor." ... Read More »
BUDGET ACCOMMODATION DONE WELL
"I stayed here for just one night, following my cycling trip from 'Coast to Coast,' (Whitehaven to Sunderland). Rather than rushing back home after a tough few days, a few of the other cyclists and I booked rooms so we could have a meal and a few drinks to celebrate our achievement." ... Read More »
IT'S RADISSON JIM, BUT NOT AS WE KNOW IT
"Check-in was fine, or at least I thought it was until I arrived in my room. Despite specifically requesting a room without an adjoining door, that's exactly what I got, so it was an unnecessary and frustrating return to reception for me. Incompetence on that level is hard to fathom, which makes me wonder if people do things like that on purpose for a bit of sport?!" ... Read More »
ALWAYS EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD
"The very best features of this hotel however, are not to be found in the fixtures, fittings or spec, but those that truly determine how each visit will be remembered, which are food and service. Both are excellent!" ... Read More »
