When asked about plans to quit she says: "And do what? Nothing? What would I do? I'm not comparing myself but (it's like) if someone said, 'Oh Picasso, you've painted so many pictures, get some frames and go home.'

My company had their Christmas Party at Jury's in London a couple of years ago, so I thought it would be a good bet for my first visit to Belfast.
But it did not compare at all to the Jury's Hotel in London. It was convenient to get to from the Belfast City Airport - taxi cost 7 pounds sterling, and the room rate was not bad for a business/work week stay at 65 pounds sterling per night (the rack rate on the wall is 71 and their website is 69, so it pays to get your travel agent to book them for you!) The lobby area was marble and nice looking, and the staff was helpful - complimentary newspapers, etc., but when I got to my room, it was a disappointment - the paint was chipped in the bathroom around the mirror, the furnishings could use an update, and the traffic was very noisy since I overlooked the main street. I had a great view of the church across the street, however, the spotlights that shone all night through my curtains were not nice!
On a positive note, the hotel was just a half block from the Grand Opera House, so I would walk to see a play and walk back, via the pubs!
So, I was looking forward to the 'Irish Breakfast' which is usually large and delicious.
But alas, the breakfast was shockingly horrible - Burned croissants, watery grapefruit juice from a machine, rubbery fried eggs and undercooked bacon. Oh, and not enough toast (undercooked, too).
And it was extra on my bill at 7.95 pounds! when many UK hotels do bed with a better breakfast included.
The final annoyance was that there was no parking at the hotel, so if you rented a car, you had to double park in the taxi zone and risk the ire of the cab drivers, unload bags, then find the parking lot, and tromp back to the hotel.
The staff were really helpful and informative - too bad the management couldnt do something about the chipped paint/bedspreads and those eggs YUCKY.
Next time, I will try the Europa - it is more expensive but sounds good, from Bazza's review!
And should you go to London, the Jury's there is really nice - sumptuous, posh - great!

Whenever I stay in a hotel, I do expect a good breakfast if nothing else.

Jury's have different brands don't they, but I am never clear which is which until I'm told the price. Great Jury's in Dublin should you want to try one there. Nick
