We were to attend a Family Wedding, the reception to be held at the Marriott Hotel Peterborough.
Needed a good value Hotel for the group and found this Hotel was just across the road from the Marriott.
Booked thru BOOKING.COM and got three rooms. 1 Double, 1 Room for two adults and one child, 1 Room for two adults and two children. The Room prices were all the same £45 per night, with breakfast. Children sharing a room with two adults come free.
We were staying two nights Friday and Saturday as wedding was at 12 o'clock so did not want to rush on the Sat morning. We wre due to arrive at 8 Fri Evening, I emailed this to the hotel and received a swift reply that this had been noted on our reservation.
There is a link on the hotel web site for travel details, it is located just off the A1 next to the Peterborough Showground, so if struggling follow any sigh you see for the Show Ground, the Hotel is next to the entrance..
Check in was very quick and friendly. We had three rooms on the ground floor. Card lock system and card also operates the electrics, standard at most hotels now days.
The rooms are all the same. A Double bed with a double Bed Settee. In the family rooms they had both been made up.
Room has a open type wardrobea nd open storage for shirts etc, quite acceptable in this type of short stay hotel.
The pillows on the beds had lables showing which was firm and which was soft, if you needed all the same just ask.
The beds were very comfortable and very clean.
There was an HD Television with about 12 channells, the normal selection of BBC/ITV/4/5/ and Sky News and sports. There are Film bye me available.
It was nice there was tea making equipment with plenty of Tea Bags and Coffee, and best of all full size mugs, I detest those small things some places supply.
The Bath room was very good with very good shower. The toilet is adjacent with an interesting door system. the door doubles for the bath room and the toilet, if you go you will see what i mean.
Very good and plentiful towels, although we followed the Green advice to use our towels on the 2nd day they were still replaced with fresh ones.
Shower Gel and Shampoo is supplied in a sqeezee bottle on the wall.
Nice notice on the wall IF YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN SOMETHING, gives a lond list of things we do forget, Tooth Paste, Brushes, Combs, Personal Ladies things etc etc, It just says ask at reception and they will be supplied gratis, and they did. Daughter had forgotten her Hair Brush.
Breakfast was taken in an area near reception, that doubles as the bar Area at night. For the price i was pleasantly surprised.
TEA/COFFEE/HOT CHOC. 2 kinds of Fruit Juice. Full Range of cerials and Muslie. Toast Machine that toasted quite quickly. White and Wholemeal Bread. Bread Rolls. Coisaants and small pastries. Youghurts plane and flavoured. Butter/Jams and prepacked chucks of cheese.
As said this area at night serves as a Bar, prices in line with most hotel Bars.
The location is about 4 miles from Peterborogh City Centre, about a £6 taxi ride, and no problem getting taxis.
Checkout very good and quick.
So for a qucik stop over at very good rates I would certainly recommend this Hotel and if attending a Show at the Peterborough Show Ground you are right there.
Also next door is a HARVESTER RESTAURANT.
