Ashford International Hotel & Spa

Ashford International Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Efficient check in. You have to register your car on the self service kiosks, which is simple enough. The room was larger than expected which made it very comfortable to settle in for the week. Lots of storage spaces as well. One downside in our room was the power plugs were too close to the table top, so we couldn’t plug one of our chargers in, and even the other charger only just fit. Other plugs in the room were too close to the floor. The bathroom was very clean and had good water pressure. Only downside was the toilet flush didn’t have a lot of force and took a number of flushes to get the job done. There’s a staircase between the hotel car park and Sainsbury’s next door which was much appreciated so you don’t have to walk along the dual carriageway. The Sainsbury’s car park also gives you access to a number of other shops and restaurants in walking distance (including a pedestrian bridge to the other side of the motorway)."
