Carrington House Hotel

Carrington House Hotel

8/10 Good
"I liked that the Property had big spacious rooms. Breakfast was great. It had clean towels and linen. They need to work on cleaning the bathroom tiles. The staff was friendly (most of them). There was no bar fridge which was a downside for me. I like having cold water and drinks. The TV was not working and they fixed it quickly. Overall it's a good hotel, I would book it again."
