My Wife and I recently booked a stay here when we were in Rotherham to visit family in the area.
The Positives- Friendly attendant and decent food in the small adjoining pub.
The Negatives- TINY rooms with the hardest bed we have EVER slept on. The first room that was assigned to us was moldy and filthy. We had just traveled from the US and we were exhausted, but there was no way we were going to stay in that room. We were assigned a different room and while it was cleaner it was still TINY with no available outlet to re-charge our phones. The bed was ROCK HARD with only two small, flat pillows. We were so exhausted we did not care at this point.
The next day I went to the reception area to cancel the balance of our stay and the attendant did not know how to do this and refund us our money. Fortunately, when the manager came in later that afternoon he was able to get this done for us. They were at least friendly about this. As a side note, the WiFi is free but ONLY works in the lodge area and only during normal business hours.
I gave them 2 stars only because the staff was pleasant. Truthfully, this place would be considered a skid-row motel here in the states. Needless to say, I would recommend avoiding the Restover Lodge at all costs. There are much better hotels in the immediate area and while they may be more expensive, they are well worth it. read more
