The Dakota Baginton

Credit to Trip.com sorting this out for me, I'm happy with their service but use this hotel at your peril. The hotel is unattended. You are supposed to receive an email or SMS, or something, with an entry code and your room number. I didn't receive this (and yes I checked, double and triple checked - spam folders, and so on). After all there wasn't much else to do sitting in the hotel lobby trying to find out how to get my room. They leave a mobile number to call - I called, it went to voice mail. I called again, nothing. After a while I had to book another hotel nearby. It looks okay from the outside, location is next to the airport, convenient for the NEC, quiet location I think. Trip.com refunded the costs after trying to contact the hotel. I So, use this hotel with care. If for any reason you don't get a message you'll not be able to get in, and from my experience no way to speak to anyone to get help.

Stayed midweek as I work in Coventry but live about an hour away, and had some long days so wanted to stay close to the office for a night. Check in was easy (lockbox) and communication by the host good, parking is a squeeze round the back (once you’re in the car park it’s fine) so just be careful if you have a larger vehicle. The room was a single and fine for my needs for 1 night but I’d probably book a larger room for any longer. Noise wasn’t a problem for me but I was in a smaller building next to the main building. The street itself is a quiet residential one. Tea, coffee and shower gels were provided as were towels. The shop opposite is no longer open which is a shame as I would’ve liked to get some soft drinks but this isn’t the fault of The Dakota. There is a pub about a 5-8 minute walk if you turn out of the property to the left and keep walking. I’d stay again if the price was right as my needs were met.

We stayed here a couple of weeks ago & it was amazing absolutely fantastic the whole place looked so modern & fresh, the room was to a very high quality & absolutely spotless could not of asked for more it was just perfect, we will definitely return 😀

Reviews all said clean and comfortable and deserved of a high review score. Found the place to be dirty, radiator in bathroom had a good inch of filth, bathroom shelf dirty and blood on the bath mat. Bed was like sleeping on a block of wood. If looking for a place to stay then carry on looking.

A spotlessly clean room, in an excellent location, within easy access to Coventry & Warwickshire. This was our first time staying here, so the peculiarities of having no one on site, was a little daunting prior to arrival, but the information we received ensured there was nothing to worry about. The access code allowed easy entrance to the building and our room (room 7) was spacious and spotless. There is ample parking in front and at the rear of the property and we found everything to our liking. One special mention needs to be the ease of access in to Coventry from here, with the route through the new "JLR access road" meaning that there is no need to go on to the busy A45 at all, as it brings you out at the London Road, so the CBS Arena and City Centre are easily accessible, as is Kenilworth/Leamington & Warwick plus Rugby and the M45 is only 15 minutes drive. All in all we were really pleased to have found this little gem, with a couple of pubs & restaurants within walking distance, it is very good value for money.

You get what you pay for. The property looks very new and on first impression looks very clean. Big fan of the mirror that you can connect Bluetooth too in the bathroom to play music whilst showering. Host was polite by message and gave clear instructions to enter the room. The TV didn’t really work and was quite small but I had my laptop to watch a movie. Did the job for an overnight stay but found the room noisy overnight with thin walls so you could hear all the other guests. There was also a dirty pillowcase on one of the four pillows available.

Easy check in process (the guesthouse isn’t staffed). Parking is sufficient but a bit of a squeeze between 2 close buildings. Wifi does not work in room 11. Very very noisy. The walls are paper thin and you can hear everything from the nearby rooms. The doors bang really noisily. Reasonably clean but extremely basic.

Room nice, reasonable price. Shower good. A big shame about the other inconsiderate people in room opposite.Very noisy until gone 2 in the morning, did not get much sleep. Had an early start plus a very long drive to do the next day, so not great!
