Clifton Bridge Hotel, York

Advantages: Excellent location
Disadvantages: Weird car-park

...would go about getting out! We did have to leave the keys on reception (so they could move the car if required - which they did as it wasn't in the same place when we returned). For us the car park wasn't too much of a problem as we didn't use the car for the break, however it was hard work getting in the small space! Staff were friendly on arrival and we were seen to our room quickly. Location The hotel is ideally located in the centre of York. It is right near the York Dungeons, only 10minutes walk from York Minster. We visited most of the main areas of interest on York and everywhere was close to the hotel. Because we came at Christmas we were also right near a temporary ice rink, which was situated only a few minutes from the hotel. The Room We were pleased with the room which was spacious, modern and clean. The room consisted... Read review

Advantages: Great Location, Clean and Friendly Staff
Disadvantages: Views from hotel itself not great, no free wi fi

...My boyfriend turned 30 a few weeks ago and for his present I booked us a trip to New York and the Wellington Hotel is where I picked for us to stay due to its central location in Manhattan. Last Wednesday we flew out to NYC and checked into the Wellington. If you didn't know already this is where part of the Borat film was made, the main scene being where he tries to unpack his things in the lift thinking its his room and so many Borat jokes ensued in the elevators during our stay. The location of the hotel is amazing, its a 1 minute walk from Carnegie Hall, 2 minutes from Central Park and 5 minutes from Times Square and is located on the corner of 55th Street and 7th Avenue.

Advantages: A Lasting Tribute to a Great British Engineer. A National Landmark. Beautiful Setting.
Disadvantages: That I do not Live Closer to it!

...with us from Poland for the summer, a couple of Sundays ago, in late August, we decided to drive down to Bristol and show her the ss Great Britain and of course the Clifton Suspension Bridge. I also wanted to see the Brunel 200 exhibition in the maritime Centre building, which I believe finishes in October. THE IDEA IS HATCHED When Brunel launched the Great Britain from its current home, in July 1843, the Avon Gorge was without a bridge, although in a sense it had already been in the "planning stage" since 1754. A wine trader by the name of William Vick, who had made his fortune in Bristol, died in that year, leaving £1000 in trust, intending that when it had grown to £10,000 it would fund a stone bridge, crossing the Avon Gorge from Clifton Down to Leigh Woods. The mystery is quite why Mr Vicks should want to see such crossing built... Read review
