Great room, excellent location, would use again
Pros:

Very spacious, clean, comfortable, modern room. Check in was easy and the staff were friendly. I didn't eat at the hotel. I got a good last-minute deal on the room so I expect it was a lot less than normal. Excellent location just a short walk from all the shops and restaurants.

Cons:

Only one thing that was a minor problem was parking - you can park outside from 8pm - 8am but during the day you need to pay or find a long-term parking place (there was £5 all day parking just a street or two away so that was reasonable.

We were in Lancaster for a funeral and The Borough was a terrific base. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again
Pros:

The rooms were great, the location was terrific and the staff were all very friendly and helpful - particularly Michelle and Kiera. They stored our luggage while we were at the funeral, and we had a lovely breakfast and lunch at the hotel before and afterwards.

Cons:

Nothing!

It was ok, wouldn't rush back.
Pros:

Great location, Bar area and food area were good, although food area was very dark. Food overall was pretty good.

Cons:

The room was expensive for room only, i found out that if we had booked direct, then we could have got breakfast included. As it was we paid extra for Breakfast, so it was about £150 for B&B!! The room was very hot, the radiator in the bathroom was on all the time we were there, and we ended up opening a window at about 2am. There was also a noise of a pump or generator going all night! The TV sound kept going loud then quiet as well.
