The Barrington Hotel

The Barrington Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location. Walking distance to everything. Busdepot is right next to the hotel. Airportbus # 320 drops you off right at the hotel. My room was spacious and very clean with a city view ( Queensize) I loved their indoor swimming pool. They don’t do the rooms every day. I stayed there 8 nights and they only did my room one time. This was ok with me but if you want everyday housekeeping this might not be the hotel for you. I would recommend this hotel to family and friends and I would stay there again. I just hope they will improve the coffee which is provided in the room,"

"The rooms were great and the beds were very comfortable. We appreciated the coin laundry on our floor. Breakfast is a buffet but they have somebody serving it to you so it's nice and clean. The coffee is phenomenal! They have Nespresso pods in the room and at the breakfast. The only issue was very minor and that's just rush hour traffic can make it a bit time-consuming to get into the hotel parking lot depending on time of day, but usually that's not even an issue."
