Best Western Madison Motor Inn, Newcastle

Advantages: Independently Owned & operated Good Quality
Disadvantages: Very Few

...Best Western Hotels are among the world’s largest hotel brands but is actually somewhat unusual. This international hotel chain is made-up of individually owned and operated hotels and inns around the globe. However, reputedly it is not easy to qualify for membership of Best Western – prospective members must meet some very exacting standards and each hotel in UK is independently inspected on an annual basis by the AA. Globally there are around 4,000 hotels in the group whilst there are several hundred in the UK. Some are bustling city centres hotels, others are nicely converted Elizabethan lodges and some are plush Georgian style country manor houses. Among Best Western hotels in London are the Delmere Hotel, Hyde Park, the John Howard Hotel, Kensington, the Mornington Hotel, Lancester Gate, Raglan Hall... Read review

...With a slight decline in the amount of business travel I undertake, I now find myself in roughly the same places each month. This means that I’ve started to build up a portfolio of favourite hotels, selected on the basis of service, quality and value for money. Don’t get me wrong, if budget were no issue, then my list would be rather different, but as things currently stand I’m not normally looking to spend more than £75 for a room. Jury’s Inn in Newcastle is easily the best hotel in the city that matches my budget. Situated on the western fringe of the city centre, the hotel is easily accessible from the city’s road system and is also very convenient for the train station. There’s nothing worse than travelling hundreds of miles to a destination, only to have to fart around with taxis at the other... Read review
