Hotel Hudson - Torquay, United Kingdom     

First the positives...The hotel was very clean and tidy and the chap who welcomed us was very helpful & welcoming. The breakfast was very good with a large choice of options.The room and on-suite bathroom were also spotless and the shower was fab. Now some negatives... No parking space's was available, so we had to drive around the corner & park in a pay & display(although it was free) The remote in the room was faulty and the room was cold even though the radiator was on full. The bar area was not open which meant we had no where to sit & have a drink to relax after being out all day. We were given room seven which was at the top of the house and required forty stairs to reach, which at times was the last thing that you needed after walking for most of the day.. All in all, I would return again but might look around first

This hotel was very beautiful but the rooms were extremely small for two people. I paid only $115.00 per night through Priceline and had a private bath so who could complain. I would not however, spend $250.00 a night through the hotel reservations, expedia, orbitz ect........ Visiting multiple cities across the county and Canada, I always used the concierge to find some fair prices on shows, tours, shows ect......in this case he had charged me $200.00 more than the asking price at the box office. Said "well this is NY"...So I fell for it. First time and last time I fall for this. My fault and lesson learned to check out the local box office first...Just be careful that's all. Hope he enjoys his commission!!! Dumb statement of course he will. Just an FYI also for visitors There's a great little Japanese place around the corner that serve $6.00 wine and martini's instead of $25.00 per glass.
