Commodore Hotel

Commodore Hotel

8/10 Good
"This is an older Hotel with a nice charm and history to it. Its in a great location. Great safe, free parking on street outside. Staff are excellent, responsive, friendly and take iniative to help you have a good experience. Lift is small and access into the hotel for wheel chair or childs buggy is difficult/ almost impossible...big steps at entrance & no ramp.This is a weak point. Food in hotel is good. Good chef. Water in showerwas not constant hot, would move to just warm quickly. But overall we enjoyed our stay. I think their staff is their biggest assesst. I had my 10mth old baby with me and they were so helpful"

Hayfield Manor

Hayfield Manor

10/10 Excellent
"One of the best hotel experiences I've ever had (and I do stay at 5-star places regularly). Spacious and clean room with great lighting and chairs and windows that open, and hooks, and big bottles of filtered water. Great food. The warmest, most welcoming staff ever, with sharp competent energy all of them, who never looked like they didn't want me to approach but instead were relaxed and made eye contact readily and seemed genuinely pleased to see me. I said once "I want to live here" and she said "we would love to have you" -- untrue I'm sure but SO KIND! Lovely garden, and many places to sit and relax and read and have tea. I genuinely cannot gush enough. Liam helped me hire a driver for a wonderful day out -- he is a treasure. THANK YOU HAYFIELD MANOR. I'll be back someday."
