I stayed here for a conference that was being held in the nearby Barcelo Hotel in April 2009. Arden Lodge is very close but a fraction of the price. I asked for the largest room but was only charged for single occupancy. This was not an oversight, it was part of a very good deal!
Mr Price was very polite and welcoming. The breakfast and service were first class. Everything was clean and tidy. I am very pleased with my stay and am planning to stay there again for the conference next year.
Just a couple of words of warning: first, the mattress was too cheap so when one lies on the bed the mattress compressed to nothing and it is like lying on a hard board. It is a very minor point for me because I don't mind sleeping on a hard surface, but it might bother some people. This would be a very easy problem to fix, I don't know why this has been skimped on. Second, there is no wireless internet access. Some B&Bs have this now so Arden Lodge needs to catch up. Still, on all other points it gets top marks.
