The Dakota

The hair dryer is missing . And the radiator is not working. We message the host around 11pm. We appreciate that it’s a bit late in the night but no response until we check out. Also there is dust on the wall, not as clean as other guests commented However the bed is quite comfortable.

The bathroom was shocking mould around the shower tray. Shower head absolutely filthy toilet seat broken and it stunk of drainage!!

Hotel is located on a quiet street in a small village just outside Coventry airport and the outer ring road. Chinese takeaway next door and convenience store across the street (although check opening hours; it was shut when I arrived about 5pm). Also a pub about 5-10 min walk down the road. Plenty of parking at the rear and access codes to the front door and your room are sent shortly before arrival. Room had all usual amenities - storage, telly, kettle with plenty of tea and biscuits, shampoo/body wash/hand cream in the bathroom. Extras of essential items were available in the main entrance, along with a vending machine for snacks and drinks. WiFi worked well, bed was very comfy, room was a good temperature, and although some noise was audible from other rooms, people were very considerate about trying to be quiet. Shower was a bit cosy, particularly for anyone over 5'10". Room was generally clean but had a few stains on the carpet and hard water marks on all the bathroom sanitary ware. Still very good value for money, though, and would definitely stay again.

Nice easy and convenient stay for Stonleigh Park exhibition.

Quiet. Very clean. Self service. Spacious rooms. Located in small & safe village. Local pub is great fun! Downside: Heavy on the air freshener.

Room was clean just the bathroom smelt. Didn’t see anyone the whole time we stayed there. Parking was good, didn’t use the Wifi

Cheap and chearful

Good parking. Room was spotless. Very basic clinical furniture. Bed was very hard, which is great for me. Good pub within walking distance.

Ok

Clean and comfortable accommodation representing good value for money.

I was at The Dakota for four nights and two of them were a bit of a challenge but the managers were amazing. Brilliant communication and were able to help me. They offered suggestions for where to eat too which was a bonus. It was a nice and quiet location and the rooms were quiet too aside from some banging doors from other guests but that’s to be expected. The key lock boxes were fabulous and I felt very safe as a solo traveller. There was the odd few cobwebs and the bathroom smelled a bit damp but nothing major. I would stay there again.

Quiet area, clean, decent sized room. Would stay again and recommend. Easy self check in

My stay at the Dakota met my expectations. The people in charge contacted me before hand to let me know the arrangements which were straight forward. My stay was most comfortable and without fuss.

Did what it said on the can. Comfortable place to stay for the night, and at a good price. No staff on site but cgeck in instructions were clear, everything was set up for our arrival and we had everything we needed. Would stay here again. Couple of Premier Inns nearby (driving) if you need a breakfast buffet option.

On arrival we noticed the room hadn't been cleaned there were marks on sheets quilt cover mattress protector. We text the owner i think to ask for the bed to be remade. Removal of dirty underwear found in a draw plus empty bottle of shower wash out of the shower. The shower when wet was slimey wall and tray. The grout was orange/pink where it hadn't been cleaned. Marks in the toilet, extractor fan was jamed up with dust cobwebs. Cobwebs in the bedroom been there for a long time as black. Blind did not work properly the small window did not close Or lock. The quilt was a 13.5tog far to heavy for summer only 1 pillow each. Dust everywhere even on top of the kettle the 2 glasses were coverd in finger prints and marks, there were no spoons to stir your tea, a very small tv for the size of the room. The text messages i received from the owner whilst we were out for Dinner ( there know this) did interrupted our dinner out with friends.

The room was clean and a good size, with space to walk around both sides of the bed. Had a closet and drawers for storage, a small table and chair for work. The bed was comfortable. The shower room was clean and stocked with the basics. Plenty of parking at the back for cars. In a small SUV it was a tight squeeze as the entrance was to the side of the building between the main house and the external rooms to the left. As it was self-check in, didn't meet anyone other than other guests coming and going. Communication via text was good and responsive.

Location great, check in experience straightforward, but shower dirty and moudly, room smelt abit musty.

Really good value in a quiet area away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Unfortunately the village shop closed down a year or so ago so get your snacks en route :) Basic rooms but very clean, good parking and great value for money. Nice friendly pub nearby. Can be tricky to enter the rear car park in a larger vehicle but manageable. Could do with better access to drinking water is my only suggested improvement (e.g. free bottle of water or water fountains in the communal areas).

Clean room and comfortable bed, plenty of parking. Quiet. No food, but close to a pub serving meals. The only reason that it hasn't scored as excellent is that the self check in details only arrived after the time we should have left home in the afternoon to get there, and we chased them as we were concerned. Will stay again.

Great place to stay, easy check in and access to room, nice and clean
