The service was attentive and pleasant, with staff addressing issues promptly. The location is ideal for exploring Kendal, although parking can be inconvenient. The dining experience, while offering a good selection, had some limitations. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic overall. The service was excellent, with attentive staff, and the full breakfast was definitely worth the price. The room I stayed in was equipped with air conditioning and provided a great level of comfort for the saver rate of £35.

My stay at the hotel was quite comfortable and convenient. The rooms, though showing a bit of wear, were clean and provided a good night's rest. The attached pub was a standout feature, offering a nice atmosphere. However, the location didn't feel very safe at night. The service was friendly and efficient, with quick room cleaning and a satisfying full breakfast. The only drawback was sharing the car park with pub-goers. The central location was ideal for exploring Kendal and the Lake District, with helpful local information available. The dining options were decent but varied depending on the day. A solid choice for a short stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were cold throughout the night, with just a camp bed thrown into the small space. However, the lack of an elevator wasn't an issue for us. The service was great despite issues with a broken kettle and mold in some rooms. The location was handy for walking into Kendall but had its inconveniences. The dining experience, although cooked to order, was spoiled by unruly kids and overpriced breakfast. Overall, the facilities offered were satisfactory.

I have mixed feelings about my stay at this hotel. The rooms were very quiet, spacious, and cleaned daily, but the sealed windows made them feel stuffy and claustrophobic despite the air conditioning. I appreciated the efforts of the housekeeping staff, especially Sophie, for the thoughtful wedding congratulations gifts. The location was convenient and within a short distance of town center shops and attractions, but the service had its ups and downs, with some staff being helpful and pleasant while others were noisy and intimidating. The dining experience was decent, but the need to book a time for it was unexpected. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
