Pros:

A quirky yet charming building, with a very friendly and helpful owner. The place has a warm, family-like atmosphere. If you’re staying in Workington to watch the speedway, you’re sure to meet other fans in the on-site bar.

The Waverly Workington Cumbria
Pros:

Good price ,food was decent ,staff were friendly
If you travel by car you are close to the Lake District and Carlisle with prices a lot lower than you would pay in the lakes or Carlisle

Cons:

Very hard to find as there is no signage
Yellow lines and permit parking around the hotel meant parking was a distance away

Pros:

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room and the bathroom was large. Selection of the food served in the restaurant was sort of limited with no healthy option. Typical English cuisine.

Free parking outside the hotel and good wifi connection.

Cons:

The state of the furniture and bathroom. It was cleaned but could do with an upgrade. Broken old furniture, light not working above the sink.

I really didn't like the breakfast.

Shocking
Cons:

The room was filthy. Shower was mouldy, not clean, left over shower gel on the base. Curtains were disgusting, filthy and marks on . The ceiling had brown patches on, and the furniture looked like it had been kicked about. The room smelt of stale grease.
