Advantages: Convenient location, no fuss, Marriott standards. Disadvantages: It's clearly Marriott's poor relation - but not a major "con"!
I?ve done it yet again! I?ve stayed in Slough. To remind you, Sir john Betjeman wrote:
Come Bombs, and fall on Slough,
It isn?t fit for humans now!
There isn?t grass to graze a cow.
Come, friendly bombs
Swarm over, death!
The bombs have not come, yet. Slough is still standing. And Priceline send me back there time and time again. I accept an element of blame; perhaps I?m growing fond of the place. Perhaps the fact that the ?Legoland? theme park is nearby and that Josh absolutely loves it is a bonus. Whatever! We found ourselves in Slough once again; this time, at the CourtyardbyMarriott.

Advantages: room layouts, decor and cleanliness Disadvantages: understaffed reception and no internet

- Service (was very good)
Didn't like:
- Undermanned areas - reception was understaffed when we were checking out (Saturday). The frazzled receptionist had to deal with about 5 or more people, with more people turning ...
I stayed at the Marriott Royal County recently.The hotel is very easy to find. Local shops are only a five minute walk away as are local pubs and restaurants. This hotel also makes a good choice. One problem you might find is trying to find a parking space. This is an ideal location from which to explore Durham. There is an indoor heated pool. The service in the hotel was first class.
