Pleasant
Pros:

It was in a good location for the event we were attending, the room was clean, it had tea and coffee facilities

Cons:

The mattress was very soft, which wasn’t good for my back. The room was very warm even with the radiator turned off, the decor was very dated, the room definitely could do with an update as could the hotel in general

Superb
Pros:

Great Location, Great Value, Great Bar, Great Staff Comfy Bed, Clean Room, Great Hot Shower, Safe, Fridge Iron and Ironing Board As Well, Excellent
I Saw Reviews Re Room Being Too Hot, Which It Was When I Arrived, So I Used The Old Method and Opened The Room Window and Quickly No Issues

Cons:

Advertised Bar Food, On Arrival Lovely Staff Informed Me Now No Bar Food Available On Evenings
Which is A Big Shame As It Would Have Topped Off My Stay To Have Remained in The Clarendon For My Evening Meal. Pleanty Of Places to Eat At Within 200 - 40 yards
