Daventry Court Hotel

I liked this hotel. I stayed here as part of a big event with work, so there were quite a lot of us here.
Other folks were going on about the place being a bit dated, but I didn’t see that at all! It seemed absolutely fine to me.
I liked my room — while it was nothing remarkable, just a standard hotel room, it was perfectly nice really, and the bed was huge and comfortable. The temperature controls could have been a little bit better — it was just one big radiator which took a while to respond, and seemed to be set to come on and off at certain times not of my choosing. So I was a little cold when I went to bed (quite late). But it was fine and warm in the morning.
Everything in the room worked, and it also had a fridge (useful to know for future). The lightbulbs were the old style incandescent ones which is also good — no horrible fluorescent or hideous energy saving ones like so many hotels nowadays. And there was free wi-​fi, without having to do any tedious log in thing, so that was convenient and helpful.
We had dinner at the hotel, and I thought the staff coped reasonably well. There were at least 50 or 60 of us so it was a big group to all get served at once. Some colleagues were remarking that the menu was a bit ‘1980s wedding’ but I guess if you’re going to choose prawn cocktail, some sort of chicken and gravy thing, and profiteroles, then yeah, it might seem that way! I was happy with how they catered for me (vegan and gluten free) — I thought they did well. I had roasted tomato soup, then a baked pepper with a tomato sauce, and other standard veg — baby potatoes, broccoli, green beans, mushrooms. I enjoyed it, and I was fine afterwards, so I know that there was no untoward ingredients! I didn’t go down to breakfast the next day, so can’t comment on how that was.
Overall, I was happy to stay here, and would go back again.

From 2013 this hotel is named Daventry Court Hotel within Puma hotels collection.
The hotel is a bit worn and dated, but perfectly ok. Rooms are clean but very very hot during days with high temperature. Good thing we could leave the windows open day and night. Also a table fan is provided.
For the price we paid (£76 twin room incl breakfast per night) I cannot complain.
Friendly front desk staff and smooth check in.
We were here during an event so I guess the hotel was almost fully booked, leading to waiting time in bar and tables were left uncleaned for hours. HOURS.
I must say I was rather surprised that one of the girls at front desk did not know what the power sockets in her own country looked like. We were asking for adapters the entire weekend and the night before we were leaving they finally said «Yes, there are plenty of them, which one do you need?» First of all one that fits in UK sockets. At the moment i didn’t remember what they looked like and grabbed two US sockets and asked her — does these fit in your power outlets? Yes she said… and guess what… they didn’t…
But unprofessional staff in bar and restaurant. During the dinner held by event organizers there were too many mistakes made. I don’t know if it was because staff not being used to too many guests at a time.
I would definitely stay here again. The bus stops just outside entrance and there is a restaurant and bar just 15 min away, walking distance.
They accept AMEX.

excellent hotel, chambre spacieuse, propre, cadre agreable, personnel acceuillant.
pas contre, né pas compter sur la restauration le soir.
