I am working long term in the Farnborough area and needed somewhere to stay which I would feel comfortable in. I have already stayed in the sister hotel, the International, in the same complex and wasn't ithat mpressed. There's nothing wrong with it but it wasn't really out of the ordinary. The two hotels are though like chalk and cheese.
The house manager, Maureen, makes everyone welcome and even knows my breakfast order, like most other regulars, and gets it as soon as I arrive for breakfast. Nothing seems too much trouble for this lady and she is a credit to this hotel. Shame they can't clone her and put her in elsewhere!

The newer Orchard Wing is the one to ask as it is a bit more modern but overall the hotel is clean and well maintained. The continental doesn't have the same restaurant style, it's more bar meals rather than cordeon bleu but this suits me fine as it's reasonably priced and quickly cooked.

I wasn't really expecting the friendly and great service I got and it is welcome and in the words of Arnie, I'll be back.
