The Bridge House Hotel

I've stayed in this hotel quite a few times over the past year and although I'm the first to admit that it needs quite a bit of TLC, it also has a few good points; The positives: 1) spacious rooms (the double rooms, that is) 2) it's conveniently located right off the M25, 3) there's plenty of free parking 4) it's only one mile from Reigate station and Holmesdale where there a number of takeaways and an excellent Chinese restaurant, the Five Spice, 5) It suits my budget. 6) The staff on the front desk are helpful (within limits) and some are even attractive. This hotel used to have a dinner option but there weren't enough takers for it. They have recently introduced a Breakfast option. I haven't tried it as I usually just get up and go on my way. The negatives: 1) The entire place is in need of refurbishment 2) on my last visit I had a mattress that was past due for replacing. (I emailed the hotel about this and they said they were looking into it. Hopefully something will happen. 3) some of the clientele are not exactly top-notch. On my recent visit there was a guy polishing off 4-5 cans of Fosters while sitting outside. 4) Note that the single rooms are fairly small and with thin walls on some of them.

So far I've been able to put up with the shortcomings. However this time it's one of the hottest days of the year and they assigned me to one of the hottest parts of the hotel with no fan or A/C. I asked them at the front desk for a fan or to assign me to another room, but I got the usual 'all rooms are full 'bla bla bla' that I've heard several times before. Presently I've propped the door open with a chair to try to get a bit of cross draft. Not exactly something you want to be doing in a hotel. I would have given a better score, but this takes the cake

Pretty basic hotel. Not many staff and completely unhelpful on where to hide a bike. Restaurant not open. Room was okay but shower was very low pressure. Bargain basement, and you get what you pay for. I wouldn't stay here again.
