Advantages: Good rooms, well furnished and clean Disadvantages: Service is poor and very very slow
Earlier this year we took a trip around the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, booking up cheap hotels and testing just what you could get in the price range of £25-40 a night. Our fourth night away saw us return to the tiny town of Ouray where we had stayed just a couple of nights earlier in another budget hotel called the Ouray Chalet Inn. Of the five budget hotels we used on our trip, the ComfortInn had one of the better rooms but unquestionably the worst service.
Since we'd spent time in Ouray already we had no problems finding the hotel, tucked away on a side street in the middle of the town. On our first trip to Ouray we'd arrived from the north along very good roads but this time we came in from the south along the terrifying 'Million Dollar Highway' - a 25 mile route winding through the mountains between Silverton and Ouray ...
Advantages: Cheap room with breakfast in City Centre location Disadvantages: Dated decoration, not very well cleaned, noisy
much on one nights accommodation as once you add it to the price of the hotel rooms you start getting to the £80/£90 mark.
After much deliberating we decided on the ComfortInn in Bishopsgate which is located pretty centrally within a stones throw of Leeds train station and the hustle and bustle of the main shopping areas too. The room was priced at £59 for bed and breakfast, which we felt was very reasonable and we decided to park our car at a friends house who lives just outside of the city centre and then get the bus into Leeds to save on parking fees. Another plus point of the hotel other than the location was the fact that they provided breakfast as most places only seemed to provide accommodation on a room only basis.
The journey was quite straightforward, having driven to Leeds on many occasions I found my way very easily ...
Advantages: Big beds, located near Hershey Park, Pennsylvania Disadvantages: VERY, VERY overpriced
things a bit odd – for one, the air conditioning in the car doesn’t work – no real problem, as we’re all soaking wet. But people in other cars are shouting at us – we look over – it seems we have no headlights. This is bad.
Clearly, we cannot drive home on unlit highways with no lights – not only is it dangerous, but we’d surely be stopped by the police (especially as the Pennsylvania Turnpike is a toll road). So we find ourselves having to stop at the first hotel we can – and that hotel was the COMFORTINN on Mae Street in Hummelstown Pennsylvania – just two miles from the park.
