Best Western The Rose & Crown Hotel

Best Western The Rose & Crown Hotel

8/10 Good
"My room was clean and spacious. Twin in the separate wing. Food in the restaurant was awful at dinner and they’d be better serving basic English food rather than attempting foreign cuisine. It was adequate for my purpose of dropping off a teen at university. Parking was great although very full, WiFi good and location central. All being said I’d stay again when I visit the university."

"We had a small issue with our first room, that was dealt with quickly and efficiently, with a very generous upgrade to a Superior Junior Suite, which was very welcome. I'd give the breakfast 10/10 as well - absolutely not to be missed. Great to support an independent hotel as well. Highly recommended."
