Would not go back, because staff except the cleaner
Pros:

The location was great, the room was very nice.

Cons:

DO NOT EAT HERE! The evening meal was horrible. The staff didn’t even waste their time asking how it was because they probably already knew the answer.
Overall, the staff were polite but very distant and indifferent.

Excellent place to stay
Pros:

Loved everything about the 3 Swans in Market Harborough. Large comfy bed for me and my wife who were attending our sons' wedding at the local registry office. Food was great, breakfast was an excellent buffet style with all your full English favourites with option of fresh fruit, cereals etc. for anyone who prefers a lighter breakfast. Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them.
In short, clean, comfortable, classy and well worth every penny.

Cons:

Nothing to not like

Realxed and comfortable
Pros:

Location and the rooms were large, spacious and well thought out. Very clean and comfortable along with little touches that add the feeling of welcome. Note from housekeeping, rubber duck in the bathroom.

Cons:

I made the mistake of extending by one night directly with the hotel and was charged the fulll rack rate that was DOUBLE the booking.com rate for that night so felt very ripped off.
My error but beware.

If the price is right, it's a good choice right in town
Pros:

Fantastic location and free parking.

Cons:

Room very basic. There is a small fan built into the overhead light, but in our long room the fan was nowhere near the bed, so it didn't help cool down the room. We managed to borrow a table fan from housekeeping so that helped a little. Pillows were a bit too hard for us. Bed itself was OK.

The hotel is in a very good location on the High Street with many high end shops and some pubs too.

I ordered a tuna sandwich through the app and received a ham sandwich which they did replace!

Such potential but worst nights sleep ever!
Pros:

The location was lovely and all staff were very helpful.

Cons:

Unfortunately the rooms were very tired. Very creaky floorboards and a ceiling with leak damage. Pillows were rock hard. I booked standard rooms so didn’t expect much but this could be addressed so easily with a small amount of investment. However unfortunately the biggest issue is somewhat outside of the hotels control . The church bells chime every 15 min. It was a very hot night so had no choice but to have the window open (no aircon). We had no more than 2 hours sleep. Probably the worst we have ever had. As a minimum customers should be warned!! Such a shame!!
