Clayton Hotel Burlington Road

Clayton Hotel Burlington Road

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location. Staff were very accommodating and super helpful. Even allowed me and my elderly mom to check in early after our long flight from Canada. Very much appreciated! Easy walk into main downtown area-15 minutes or so. Breakfast was buffet style but very good. Loads of food choices. AC! Very much appreciated as it was unusually hot when we were there. There was a taxi rank outside on the main road and usually had cabs waiting. Would definitely stay again."
