Pros:

Good location, bedroom very clean and good linens

Cons:

It should be possible to entend the breakfast time to at least 9.30am.
The recommandation for a restaurant ... they if course propose as the best ... their restaurant next door but différent name Bailey's.
We have ordered the 2 expansive croire : venaison and beef. The venaison was correct but the beef was tough and I have to scrap 1/3 of the meat... the présentation and thd sides were very ordinary. We went next date to the "fat duck ," that was far much better.

Definitely do not recommend
Pros:

The good news is the room was clean and the breakfast was amazing. Now for the bad news. We were given a room with no air conditioning *in the summer*. When we called the front desk to ask how to turn it on, they bluntly said in our particular room it didn’t work. No apologies, no room change, no discount. We were also told to move our car from a legal spot to a crowded lot in the back. We definitely cannot recommend this hotel.

Breakfast was only until 9 which is not good for elderly.
Lighting in the room was terrible. Only lots of light or nothing. Not even a nice light on the nightstand.

Good spot to stay if you’re part of a tour group
Pros:

It was right on the Main Street close to restaurants and shopping. Very nice breakfast restaurant with view. Wonderful staff.

Cons:

It was too large and busy . Very popular with tour group buses. The rooms are getting worn from overuse. There were dried food and drink stains on the furniture

I probably wouldn't stay there again, I think there was better options in the same price range.
Pros:

It's in a good location and breakfast in the morning was great.

Cons:

Very dated rooms, TV was very old and had like 5-6 channels, we got a room and it was next to the car park and peopleparking and talking there till very late at night. Very stuffy rooms window can only be open a very little amount. For the price you would expect more.

Sehr zufrieden
Pros:

Wir waren über Weihnachten im Distinction Luxmore Hotel. Das Hotel ist größer, als man auf den ersten Blick vermuten würde. Ja, es war ausgebucht und es gab viele asiatische Gäste – was für uns jedoch keinerlei negative Bedeutung hatte. Wir hatten ein neu renoviertes Zimmer und waren damit sehr zufrieden. Das Hotel verfügt über ein eigenes Restaurant direkt nebenan, das „Bailliez Café & Bar“, in dem man hervorragend essen kann. Der Frühstücksraum im ersten Stock wird abends ebenfalls als Restaurant genutzt; dort fand auch das Weihnachtsbuffet statt, das uns ebenfalls sehr überzeugt hat. Besonders positiv hervorzuheben sind die zahlreichen Parkmöglichkeiten rund um das Hotel, die von allen Seiten zugänglich sind und vollständig zum Hotel gehören. Insgesamt waren wir mit unserem Aufenthalt im Hotel sehr zufrieden.

Cons:

n.a.
