Poor
Pros:

The car park?

Cons:

The room, the dodgy bathroom light, no Internet, the broken door handle, the broken plug sockets, the damp smell in the corridor, other guests were smoking in their rooms... I could go on

One to avoid
Pros:

Nothing
But it was cheap ish and the location was the only reason I booked

Cons:

I couldn’t stay their again under any circumstances
Who vets these places.

Booking.com have a responsibility to the paying public to be honest about where we wish to stay.

I have now stayed I. 5 establishments in 5 nights and the only one I’d recommend to anyone is The Warwickshire Golf Club and Hotel.

The others were not in the same league

The staff were good, but the facilities were not up to standard
Cons:

They first gave me a room on the second floor where there was no Wi-Fi and no phone network. I complained, so they moved me to another room on the first floor. The next morning, there was no water in the bathroom to shower or even brush my teeth due to maintenance work, which they never informed me about beforehand. My trip plans were completely ruined.
