A stunning venue with outstanding food but!! having chosen the grandest room in the hotel "The Duchesse D'Orleans, Dorothee" Which has great bones ie stunning oak paneling in both the room and ensuite on closer inspection there were old drill holes everywhere, missing bits of trim, and lots of watermarks from leaks, drinks and stains on the fireplace shelf. As an antiques dealer / Furniture restorer this room could have been so much better with some care and attention! Then there was the totally inappropriate furniture!! Cheap and nasty Modern chipboard wardrobe, dressing table, and chest of draws which I'm sure were far more expensive than going to a local auction house and getting some period correct furniture that would have complimented the room and given it a grand feeling and opulence. The corridors had more grandeur than the room. Then you have a shower that didn't drain away the water. It was my 60th birthday and we were there to celebrate and we had a really nice time but if you are going to charge these rates for a VIP room, I suggest the management visit Coomb Abbey in Coventry and see what a real VIP Feature room looks like.
