A Cosy Place To Rest My Head

Advantages: good price, nice place
Disadvantages: -

...location, I opted for the Stafford Hotel on City Road as it seemed to be in a quite central location and I wanted something more traditional than the typical Premier Inn or Travelodge. I arrived in Chester as I decided to leave the car behind and travel by rail. I have visited a few times before but normally by car so am not good with the street name around there. When outside the train station, I decided to just get a taxi to the train station as ...
...think I was joking as literally looking up the street he pointed to a sign and that was my hotel, so laughing away I realised I should have researched how far from the station it was and decided to drag my case up the road as it was a very short walk. On arrival, we had to fill out a registration form and then pay for the hotel cash up front. I was quoted the wrong price which caused a bit of a dilemma at first but she settled and gave it to the ...

Review of Stafford Hotel, Chester

Gateway to Wales Hotel

Advantages: Comfortable
Disadvantages: Non

...spent a night at the Gateway to Wales hotel at Sealand. I choice the hotel because it was in a good location for exploring Wales and to visit the City of Chester. The hotel is situated just off the A548 on the B5129 Qeensferry road. The hotels car park is spacious but visitors are warned that they park their car there at their own risk. On entering the hotel you can not miss the reception, and the receptionist was pleasant and well organized. We ...
...which is part of the Gateway to Wales, here you can dine and pay for your food at the same time as you pay for the hotel. Although I did not eat at the Leprechaun there is a menu in the hotel room and the verity and price looked good. The hotel is ideally situated for the coast and mountain ranges of Wales with the coastline only twenty five minutes away and Chester five minutes. In conclusion the hotel was first class for its size and well worth ...

Review of Gateway to Wales Hotel, Chester

Premier Inn Gatwick - Exceptional value for money, comfy & clean!

Advantages: Excellent value for money, very comfortable, clean and tasty food.
Disadvantages: A bus ride away from the North terminal

I have flown from Gatwick airport early in the morning on several occasions and have always found it much easier to stay the night before and leisurely wander over to the North Terminal in the morning rather than try and make my way down in the car or on the train. I have stayed at both the Sofitel at Gatwick and the Premier Inn therefore, will review both however please be aware this is for the Premier Inn at Gatwick. I have stayed at the Premier ...
...shower. The Premier Inn Gatwick has a restaurant downstairs as well as a bar where you can order food from their bar menu. The restaurant menu is simple but the food is good, and includes dishes such as Spaghetti Bolognese and steak (as of September 2009). The bar menu is a little more basic with dishes such as pizza and burgers taking pride of place. The beauty of the bar menu however, is that you can order your food and then take it back to your ...

Review of Gatwick Airport Central Premier Inn, Gatwick

We had a great time at The Shears Inn, Collingbourne Ducis

Advantages: A place to relax and unwind in the countryside, with excellent food.
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...from a short stay at The Shears Inn at Collingbourne Ducis. This lovely thatched inn is enhanced by the quality of the welcome received, the relaxed atmosphere and the excellent food and drink, served by Sophie, always with a smile. We were just 15 minutes away from the stunning Stonehenge, where we enjoyed our visit on a cold but sunny morning, and 20 minutes from the lovely town of Marlborlborough where there is lots to do and see. The Inn itself ...
...alongside gallops where you may see the local race horses excercising if you are up early enough. It is a great base if you are a keen walker, there were people staying who brought their dog who was also made very welcome. All in all a great place to stay. ...

Stunning hotel both inside and out

Advantages: The room, the price, everything really except the car park
Disadvantages: The car park!

Thought I would share my experience staying at this hotel last year. When I originally booked I just wanted a standard room, unfortunately they were all booked so the person on the phone said I could have a family room, which would be the same price. The hotel is a bit difficult to find if you are not familiar with Manchester city centre, however the main problem is the car park - TOTAL NIGHTMARE!! CAR PARK It's way too small for the number of ...
...When I arrived around 5pm it was full and I was not the only person disppointed. However the hotel had employed someone to direct you to another carpark, the problem was he was as much use as a chocolate teapot!! He was difficult to understand (I'm not against foreign people working in the UK), but when you've been in a car for nearly 5 hours and just want to park the wretched thing the last thing you want is to hear is a person speaking broken english ...
