"A decent hotel worth staying at and probably the only good one in Dorchester"

7.0

Bed was comfortable and room fairly large. Nice en-suite bathroom. Standard coffee and tea facilities were provided in the room and milk available free from the 'fridge downstairs. The hotel was central so could eat out if you want to risk it. Dorchester has appalling takeaways and only two pubs that serve decent beer. Truly a waste land

Whilst I was staying in Dorchester they reduced the welcome biscuit packs from decent biscuits to the small malt coffee type biscuits and whats with the sticker on the toilet roll, sealing the end of the roll? Pretentious 'twaddle'- a word I've been saving for such a situation

Everything was how we wanted and expected, the room was a lovely size not cramped or anything, the shower and bath were excellent no complaints at all, the manager LISA WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL, as I say no complaints at all, we were there for a very sad occasion my future son in laws funeral so we were very close to amenities etc .

As I have said previously I have no complaints at all, I even had a breakfast in the red umbrella which was delightful, and even to my surprise we tried the weatherspoons which was excellent value and a lovely civilised eating and drinking experience and also very cheap.
