The main problem with this property is the lack of a lift and accessible rooms. It is very convenient for the venue I go to so I just have to struggle with stairs.

Nice hotel in a good location. The main areas of the hotel are good except the corridors and staircases leading to the rooms which are tired and dated. The room itself was a good size with a really nice bed. The only negative regarding the room was the movement sensor light in the bathroom. I personally don’t see that this is needed. If someone went to the toilet in the night the sensor would turn on the very bright light which stayed on for around 5 minutes afterwards.

Nice hotel in pedestrian zone

Nice hotel in the center of Rugby, within walking distance of lots of places to eat. It's an old building and thus doesn't have double glasing, so it was rather cold at night. The heating wasn't on as it was only September. For the rest, the hotel is nice enough, room was small, bed was comfy and bathroom was clean. Staff was friendly.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The customer service was great, and the cleanliness and general order was on par with most at this price point. They were accommodating of us bringing a pet, even if this did come with a non-advertised charge. However, I booked this stay in preparation for a very important interview day, and found myself consistently disturbed by the quite audible noise from other residents and the alleyway below, during the nighttime and daytime. I would attribute this to rather thin walls and no soundproofing measures on the windows or doors. I was woken at 5:15am to the sound of a large vehicle and smashing glass, most likely the local council just doing their job, but this and the other noise really dampened my stay. It was also noticeable there was some clear staining on the ceilings and a partially unattached toilet seat. Overall, not great, perhaps good?
