Was charged for one night instead of two even though I queried this. Got call to say they undercharged. I called to hotel to pay but they tried to charge me more. Real Fawley Towers. Chef comes on duty at 7am but has to "get things warmed up" so realistically breakfast is at 7:15am. Not ideal. Never again. Claregalway hotel methinks in future ##### john ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Feb 7, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 2ND stay and 2ND mistake we stayed Hereford one night last year and although disappointed at the time thought we would give the place another go......Never again! The hotel is clean and well located, the staff are ok but nothing special. Although the internet is advertised as free good luck if you can log on.....it's a total joke. Building work was underway when we stayed, at night the corridor outside of the room was very loud. Breakfast was OK, coffee stone cold when brought to the table. Many better hotels to stay in the area so one of those next time I think......am writing this review at 00:05am and can still hear objects being moved.....ridiculous!! ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Sara, Minnesota, USA Jan 24, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Suburban Hotel Nice hotel, but just starting a remodel when I was there. The check in staff didn't do something correctly so it took an hour to sort out the pre-payment of my room when I tried to check out. Annoying as I was on a schedule for my travels today. ##### Sara ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret Oct 20, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Margaret Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Ana Sep 25, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Ana Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ita May 28, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Ita ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Feb 3, 2016 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Monte Carlo Inn Airport Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Monte-Carlo-Inn-Airport-Suites.h849781.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ned NoMad](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-The-Ned-Nomad.h4758665.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westender Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Negril-Hotels-The-Westender-Inn.h17035303.Hotel-Information) > > [Del Sol Inn - Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Del-Sol-Inn-Anaheim-Resort.h3452.Hotel-Information) > > [Red Lion Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Red-Lion-Inn-And-Suites.h921052.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Portland](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aPDX-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in North London](https://www.expedia.ca/North-London-London-Hotels.0-n553248635976396031-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Banff](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels.d10550.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Copper Point Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Invermere-Hotels-Copper-Point-Resort.h4306045.Hotel-Information) > > [Greenwood Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Corner-Brook-Hotels-Greenwood-Inn-Suites.h8663.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels.d602873.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Nicaragua](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Nicaragua-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d134-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [American Hotel Atlanta Downtown, Tapestry Collection Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Atlanta-Hotels-The-American-Hotel-Atlanta-Downtown-A-DoubleTree-By-Hilton.h8191.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Buffalo Downtown - Medical CTR by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Buffalo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Buffalo-Downtown-Medical-CTR.h6258.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Kastela (SPU) to Velika Gorica (ZAG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/spu/zag/split-to-zagreb) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Beijing (PEK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/pek/montreal-to-beijing) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Shenzhen (SZX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/szx/edmonton-to-shenzhen) > > [Flights from South Bend (SBN) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sbn/yyz/south-bend-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Ladyville (BZE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/bze/toronto-to-belize-city) > > [Flights from Yellowknife (YZF) to Ottawa (YOW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yzf/yow/yellowknife-to-ottawa) > > [Flights from Montego Bay (MBJ) to Punta Cana (PUJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mbj/puj/montego-bay-to-punta-cana) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Denver (DEN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/den/toronto-to-denver) ### Cars > [Avis Car Rentals In Belleville](https://www.expedia.ca/Avis-Car-Rentals-In-Belleville.d6057820-c41.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Car rentals in Milton](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Milton.d55368.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Sacramento](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Sacramento-Intl.d4607315.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Budget Car Rentals In Macdonald Cartier Intl](https://www.expedia.ca/Budget-Car-Rentals-In-Macdonald-Cartier-Intl.d5721945-c39.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > [Things to do in Weston](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Weston.d602842.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Punta Cana](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/601906/Punta-Cana)
