The Stanley Hotel

An ok stay. It’s ok here, for a hotel in a town that has seen better days. A nice big room (8), clean, well maintained with a comfortable bed. The bathroom was more than big enough, with a huge walk in shower. Pity about the spots of dirt and mould in the bottom rear corners. The room even has its own outside sun deck. The big sticking point though is the nearby business that has its kitchen extractor fan screaming away until half past one in the morning. I realise it’s out of the hotels control, but it affected the quality of my sleep, and therefore the overall experience. Still I’ve paid more and stayed in places that don’t come anywhere near the standard of the Stanley.

Great value stay in Boston Chose this hotel as a base to visit some of the nearby National Trust properties. Check in was a bit cumbersome as when we arrived the reception was shut and we had to call a number to get details of how to access the hotel. Once given the codes and instructions it was fairly easy to get to our room. The room was clean and as described. There is no parking but the West End car park was only 100m away. The continental breakfast was great and a welcome addition. Having booked a room with a kitchenette we took food back to the room. I would certainly book one of the groups hotels again, and this hotel should I ever need to stay in Boston again.

Pleasant Boston Stay Lovely room, and an easy check in process. The area the hotel is located in was a bit run down, but the hotel itself was very smart. Breakfast was tasty, and the self service element was good.
