Holiday Inn Burlington Hotel and Conference Centre, Burlington

A spooky stay at the Holiday Inn Frankfurt South

Advantages: Friendly staff, reasonable price
Disadvantages: Haunted? Not in the centre of town, not very modern, basic rooms

I?ve stayed here a couple of times with work. My stays have been fine but I always feel a bit spooked in this hotel. It?s a grey 1970?s style block with other 400 rooms. It?s main purpose seems to be to cater for conferences, it has 23 meeting rooms. It is basically your typical Holiday Inn 4 star hotel (not three star as Ciao seems to have it listed) Now don?t laugh, but on my stays I have kept my bathroom light on and pulled the duvet over my head! The hotel does freak me out a bit, a slight atmosphere. It always seems to be very quiet and it?s quite gloomy inside which doesn?t help. I?ve heard all sorts of rumours about guests staying under the reception desk to sleep, to scared to go back to their rooms, that it?s built on the site of a old hospital that burned down with many deaths, that someone rolled an orange under their bed ...

Dimplex Burlington, to take away the 'BRRRRS'

Advantages: Looks stunning
Disadvantages: Flames are quite small

When i decided i wanted a fireplace, without the hassel of making a hole in my chimney wall, or get the chimney swept, i knew i had found the perfect fireplace in this here Dimplex Burlington. Here are my advantages and disadvantegs of it: Advantages: **** Fitting **** Easy. It fits flat against any wall, so you dont need a chimney breast or a hole, just a plug socket (and the ability to cut away the coving where you want it lay flush against the wall). The shape of the base is slightly raised off the floor at the back, allowing the plug wire to fit underneath without it getting squashed and eventually worn out, which is great. It comes supplied with wall plugs and screws, so once you have decided the place, it just takes a drill and a screwdriver to secure it tightly. **** Set Up **** Very easy to use. The controls are all well ...

Review of Dimplex Burlington BLN 12

Weekend at the Burlington

Advantages: Large bedrooms, clean
Disadvantages: Staff

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Burlington Hotel for a weekend at the beginning of May 2001. We chose to stay there because they have a special rate at weekends, so it cost us just £100 for a 2 night stay. The hotel itself is v. nice, although not quite as luxurious as it appears from the outside. The room we had was large and clean. It had all the usual things you'd expect in a standard hotel room, and anything that you needed that wasn't there housekeeping were happy to provide. The best bit about the room was the bathroom, v. clean, v. big, and with speakers connected to the television so you didn't have to miss the end of the tv programme you were watching when you go to get a shower!! The only down side to the hotel was the staff. The reception staff seemed to have no clue what they were meant to be doing, checking in took ...
