"A Real Gem"

10.0

Absolutely love this place — what a gem. I’m a big fan of the American diner vibe, and the smell of the engines from the stunning collection of Morgans as you walk in is just brilliant. The room was beautifully presented and really comfortable. Melvyn was a great host and took the time to show me where everything was, which I thought was a really nice touch. I’m up in this area regularly and will definitely be staying here again.

Honestly, nothing. Everything was great.

"Astounding"

10.0

What an absolutely astounding place. The American diner is just incredible, and perfect. And the Art Deco work throughout is a delight. The interior door handles alone are lovely. I won’t spoil the biggest surprise of all, but the clue is in the address

Nothing. I’m booking it again this weekend.

"Great stay, unique hotel, great team - loved it."

10.0

We stayed in the family room and absolutely loved it. It felt unique and full of character, like stepping back in time in the best possible way. The four poster bed was a lovely touch and the fittings were beautiful. It was far more interesting and enjoyable than staying in a standard, one size fits all hotel. We had a wonderful stay and we will definitely be back.
