“disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

Stayed one night in January 2012. Really disappointed with the value, layout, room and facilities. The hotel rooms are actually in a separate modern annex than indicated in the picture. My room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke, had nails coming out of the wall above the headboard, hair on the 'one' towel provided, old looking equipment and huge and multiple stains on the worn out carpet. I was too afraid to go barefoot so shuffled to and from the toilet in my shoes. The toilet roll and kleenex tissues were near empty. The window had mould on it. And the curtains were dirty looking. I slept in my cardigan which I pulled over my nose the whole night because of the general smell in the room, and my only saving grace was good heating which allowed me to keep the window open all night - in January. Was incredibly tiered the next morning with a neck ache. On checkout the businessman ahead of me was gently complaining of being charged twice (instead of a pre-auth it went through twice) and they did nothing about it but told him to check his account balance when he got home! On checking out I explained about my room and the poor clerk just looked embarrassed and said sorry twice very quietly as if he didn't want the next in the queue to hear. I'm not happy at all and definitely won't recommend.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review on trip advisor
At the Park we review our guest comments on a regular basis in order that we might learn from them an continue to improve on our stanards and service. I am sorry to hear of your recent stay and your disspointment with your bedroom. The Hotel is stricttly a non smoking hotel and therefore our rooms should be smoke free, I am sorry to hear that the previous guest had smoked in the room you where allocated and we had not managed to remove the smell prior to your arrival. Thank you for bringing some of the housekeeping issues of your room to our attention, these matters for this particular room have been attended too as part of our quality audits. We would of course like to see you visit the Hotel on a future visit so you can see the continued improvements we are making too the quality of our bedrooms.. And I hope to personally meet you on a future visit to the hotel

“Nothing special.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

people found this review helpful

I stayed here with my other half, and we weren't overwhelmed. We had no problems checking in, staff seem alright (but be warned, they do pre-authorise your card which I wasn't aware of) and headed off to our room which we in a separate building just next door. Although it was New Years Day, the place was like a ghost town - absolutely no one except a few people at the bar! We didn't see or hear anyone in the building with all the rooms.

The rooms are very spacious and decorated simply but tastefully, with a decent sized bathroom and the bed is quite comfy. There is a small television in front of the bed with a good number of channels. However, there are definitely a few signs of wear and tear - patches in the wall paper, limescale on the shower and a few marks on the walls; nothing too bad but it is definitely noticeable. The room and bathroom were very clean and the shower was very good.

Overall our stay was very average, it is in a good location though and I can imagine becomes busy for the rugby. With a few touch ups in the rooms, it could look really lovely but for now shows a lack of maintenance.

“Much much better!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011 via mobile

Further to my last review I have returned here and am pleased to say that the service is significantly (vastly) improved. Attentive staff who were focused on making sure everyone was attended to. Breakfast is really good value. Well done!

“Average Stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011

My husband and I stayed at this hotel 3rd December for one night. It was an OK bedroom but the rooms and the hallway could do with a refurb. The breakfast was well cooked but took about 10 minutes for our order to be taken (I would not say the dining room was packed!).
This hotel needs to buck-up its ideas especially with the soon to open Travel Lodge just around the corner.
Pluses: Close to Teddington rail station and in walking distance to Twickenham Rugby Statium (takes about 40 minutes).

“Disappointing.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

My husband and I have just returned from a one night stay at Park Lodge whilst visiting family in the area. We have stayed at Park Lodge before and all was fine otherwise we would not have returned a second time. Our bedroom in the main building was very cold there was a type of storage heater and a convector type of heater neither had been switched on. The convector type was very noisy so we could not leave it on all night. The room itself whilst reasonably clean is badly in need of some TLC as is the bathroom but a jolly good "scrub" here would be an improvement. To breakfast - well what a shambles.
I ordered porridge which did arrive after 30 minutes. The porridge itself was very nice but it was in a stone cold dish so by the time I got to the end of it the porridge was cold. We ordered a cooked breakfast which again took an age to appear I had ordered scrambled egg but it was more like a mashed up omlette and the bacon was so burnt well black in fact it was I think I can safely say the worst breakfast I have had and again as the plate was barely warm the breakfast was luke warm. My husband did not get on much better although his two poached eggs were cooked exactly as he likes them. We did think we ought to have sent both meals back but having regard to the fact we had already waited an hour we decided against this but on checking out we did make the receptionist aware of our dissatisfaction but her response was not what we had expected. I would say in the hour or so we were in the restaurant we saw two people who had been waiting so long for their breakfast to appear get up and leave clearly they had more pressing engagements and just could not wait. Personally I don't blame them. The restaurant was not full by any means and in other hotels in which my husband and I have stayed breakfast is usually one of the swiftest meals to be served. Buck your ideas up Park Lodge!
