Advantages: Lovely modern rooms & wonderful breakfast Disadvantages: Room slightly smaller than expacted
I went to the Regent Hotel in February 08 for a 2 night stay. I found the hotel after endless hotel searches in Ambleside which seemed to all bring up dated, old-fashioned looking hotels which weren't what we wanted. The Regent offered a refreshing alternative with modern looking bedroom, all recently refurbished. We paid £300 for 2nights bed and breakfast for 2 people.
The hotel was easy to find and was right near Lake Windermere as promised. We managed to park the car easily in the car-park, although we did notice that once everyone had checked in for the day the car-park looked rather full. It was only a short walk from where we parked to the reception, we only had small weekend bags but wouldn't have had a problem with suitcases.
The staff were friendly on arrival and were efficient and quick in finding our key and getting us to ...
Advantages: comfortable and clean Disadvantages: poor leisure club and not very child friendly
I stay in Marriott Hotels regularly and have been doing so for the past ten years or so. They are always my preference and the Regents Park Marriott Hotel is always the Marriott that I prefer to stay in when I stay in a hotel in London.

Advantages: Fantastic rooms, friendly staff and Great food Disadvantages: Limited Wifi reception
The Regent Hotel is located in the heart of Doncaster and is very easily accessable by car or rail. I travelled by rail and it was just a short 10 minute walk through the town centre to the hotel.
Check-in was a fantastic experience and it was all ready prior to arrival and there was no need to fill in my address etc as it was all done, it was just a case of 2 signatures and off to my room.
The room i stayed in was a double room for single occupancy and the room was fantastic. It was spacous and very well decorated, and looked recently decorated. The en-suite bathroom was very clean with a very powerful shower over the bath. A range of goodies were available in the bathroom including shampoo and shower gel.
the electrical fittings in the room were a chrome finish which gave the room a nice feel, that coupled with a huge double bed ...
