    We have stayed in eight different Wetherspoon's hotels and each one is individual and unique and they all seem to feature art work from local schoolchildren. We have always been very impressed by the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms and the service is second to none! We would recommend them as excellent value for money and as a drinker of real ales there is always a good choice available and at redicuiously cheap prices!

    Weatherspoons have cracked the code. They get it right. They can take a wreck of a building and turn it into a gem. The local themes they use are a delight to behold. Their senior staff at their headquarters are extremely professional, very courteous and also friendly to deal with.

    2 or 3 years ago I did a really long hike and spontaneously decided to book into a Wetherspoons hotel instead of getting the bus home. For just £35 I was over the moon for a basic clean room... it was inside a Tudor building, looked like an attic room with a tiny little window, that you had to crouch on the floor in the corner of the room to see out of. After hiking nearly 20 miles I didn't care. Happy memories!!

    I don't think you can ever criticise Weatherspoons for the value for money they offer. The food may not be Michelin Star quality but I'm always amazed at how people moan about it considering how cheap the food actually is. I think the girl in the video was absolutely spot on when she mentioned a couple of times "for what it costs"

      It’s more to do with the pay and conditions for staff. Not about the value. The owner of the brand Tim Martin is a v shady character in hospitality and a supported of brexit. When I worked at their big Llyod’s collab pub in Camden we put out brexit beer mats in favour of brexit. Brexit had destroyed ties between the UK and many EU / International brands/ supply chains and more much of which hospitality and the bar industry rely on!

      I think you'll find Wetherspoons pays it's staff above the norm for bar/ hospitality work. I would also suggest, if you are unable to accept the result of the democratic Brexit result, this is not the place for you to cry about it! Try the Guardian.

      @@Drummerladd257 I see, you were you claim once a part time, I guess student casual staffer at Lloyds, which all you can recollect is putting out beer mats - or in fact did you just pop in and this is your imagination? . Martin is not the 'owner of the brand' he is the Chairman of a Public Company in the hospitality retail sector. Wetherspoons have the best pay and conditions in the pub sector. They train their staff, give them career opportunities and proper paid holidays and pension arrangements. There is nothing shady about Tim Martin. So of ALL businesses in the UK which supported Remain quite hysterically, you single out one that did not. Business for Brexit was the most successful. of the campaigns
      The rest you have to say about the EU is nonsense. Nothing about the pub sector relies on E supply chains and Martin stopped selling EU wines a long time ago because he found New World was preferred by customers . Withdrawing from that price fixing anti-competitive anti-democratic racket is NOT 'destroying' ties, the ties should never had been created. You know NOTHING about international trade, especially between UK and EU which the UK now has its biggest export figures to ever and we have reduced over-priced low value imports from there.

    The weatherspoons Hotel really was nice!
    Beautiful Windows in your Family Room & a lovely view outside of Great Yarmouth!
    I loved the bed being a whole double bed & not two shoved together!
    The Bathroom had a luxurious Bath & roomy shower, it all looked clean as you said Tim, not even any Hairs in the Bath!
    The sofa looked ok.
    The spaces in the room looked abit empty but I suppose a Cot could go there for Casper I did notice although it is a family room there didn't seem to be a sleeping place for Casper.
    Just re-watched & you got the Cot for Casper, Goodo!
    The TV was nice on a stand instead of been stuck in an inconvenient place on the wall.
    As you said Tim it did feel more like a living room in that TV corner.
    Shame the Windows were draughty & the Air Conditioning was that type I don't like where it blows stale air out.
    I prefer good old Radiators!
    I would love under floor heating never tried it!
    The Pub downstairs looked lovely, all clean lots of sitting places & the best thing about Wetherspoons no music!
    So you can have a conversation with each other without shouting!
    I've had the Gormet Steak Meal that Gaby had, I have medium steak & I've got to admit it can be a little chewy & tough at times!
    I might try medium rare like Gaby had next time!
    My local pub is a Wetherspoons.
    Weatherspoons often buy big old Buildings & convert them.
    My Wetherspoons used to be a Chapel, & it has beautiful stain glass windows, I always go & sit upstairs which is where the balcony of the chapel.used to be.
    The only thing I will say is that the maintenance of my Wetherspoons Chapel hasn't been kept up, it was renovated into the pub in about 2005 but the plasterwork on the ceiling is starting to come down now.
    And there is either condensation or damp showing thru on the ceiling too.
    Before it was renovated the Chapel was all boarded up & was a A&M Bargains.
    But Wetherspoons don't seem to be maintaining the Building now which is a shame.
    It's still my local tho so I'll keep on going there!

The only problem was the drains were a tad 'niffy'. Not sure why that was as it was all very clean. The food was the standard fare served up throughout the Country. Steaks can be hit and miss. I would definitely stay in one of their pubs again. Decent quality and good value.

    Wow wasn't expecting a Wetherspoons hotel to look that good, that's very impressive and for just £79 too.
    I wonder what the hotels are like in the older Spoons where a hotel has been retrofitted in unlike your purpose built one.

    I've only eaten once in a Wetherspoons and that was in October when I went back to the UK to visit family and friends. The food was very cheap indeed, but it was very so-so and nothing to write home about. The pub we went to was massive and it was packed, on a mid week evening. So I can see how popular they are. I thought the hotel was pretty good actually. A very big family room. The main bed looked very small though - was it a double? I'd definitely stay in one if the opportunity arose next time I go home.

    I stayed in our local 'Spoons hotel, The Yarborough, in Grimsby when we were having a major house refurb. I was amazed how good it was. The double room was huge with a separate seating area. Generous bathroom. It's right next to the railway station but I didn't hear the trains in our room. If you like draft beer, the Yarborough has a decent selection. I'd definitely recommend it

    Impressed they actually find someone to keep the outer windows clean. For a lot of hotels that I stayed and let you open the windows, you can find lots of spider webs at the corners, so I would rather keep the windows shut.

    I remember years ago staying in The Globe hotel in King's Lynn and it was always really nice. 'Spoons get a lot of bad rep but other than aged furniture in the downstairs bar area it's overall a quality venue with some excellent quality toilets. Food isn't too bad either (other than their "toast" which is dry floppy heated bread!).

      I'm sure that it's different nowadays but when I worked the doors in lynn back in the early 90s the globe and the maydens head the other side of the market place were a bit strange, lunch time full of business types eating scampi and chips and old ladies having shepherds pie. Come 9.00pm both of those venues turned into roadhouse, although probably more so the maydens head. The other thing about the globe is that a lot of famous actors stay there because of Lynn's historic buildings a lot of period films and television dramas are filmed there.

    Both of you chew fast I must say
    Edit…. The spoons in my town is called “The Leyland Lion”
    It’s in the old main post office but it’s got it’s name from a bus Leyland Motors used to build years ago.
