The Lawn Hotel offers spacious rooms and convenient free parking, a definite plus for guests visiting the area. Many appreciate the good, generously portioned breakfast available. The location proves handy, placing you within a comfortable 40-minute walk to the city centre and near Prospect Park. some guests have observed signs directing check-in at a neighboring hotel.
the breakfast was good and the portions were generous.
Upon arrival, i had to check in at a sister hotel next door. There was no clear indication of this initially. the surroundings of the actual building looked run down and neglected. no plugs were available for the bath or sink.

Mediocre Stay with Noticeable Issues

The room smelled strange. The bathroom was not clean. I saw hair in the shower and used cotton buds on the floor. there were empty bottles of shampoo. I found thick dust on the skirting boards. The bed was too firm and the pillows were flat.
