The Honest Lawyer Hotel

I chose this hotel for its proximity to Durham and the capacity to accomodate relatives for a family reunion. Parking was good.
The rooms had a small single window which made them stuffy on warm evenings. Traffic noise and the hellish plumbing noises ensured a short sleep every night and to guarentee nobody overslept the crashing of laundry trolleys was thrown in for good measure.
The reception staff were, without exception, very good. I cannot say the same for the catering staff at the weekend. We were told on Sunday evening when we went for a meal at 8.30pm that the kitchen was closed. We were told the following morning
that we should have been able to get a meal. This was completely unacceptable. On Sunday there was no gin available in the bar
and that must be a first in my experience!!

Rooms were clean and well equipped for this level of accommodation with Sat. TV. and more omportantly a decent shower. Bar food very good, representing good value, however restaurant appeared a little expensive. Overall : Would use again, represents good value. Friendly, professional staff. Loads of parking.

Just superb in every aspect, we were thoroughly impressed with everything and left feeling we had a bargain here at the price!!!

lights didn't work. no fan in bathroom, carpets filthy, but otherwise, fine. noisy during the day but fine at night - basically a motel in the american fashion. Don't expect much and you'll be fine.
