Red Lion Hotel, Hillingdon

Nice room, it faced the back so was very quiet, nicely furnished and a good size, nice ensuite. The bar and restaurant was nice with helpful staff, though food a little on the pricey side, though the meal we had was very good. Breakfasts were very sizeable (could have done with half the amount for half the price!)

- Breakfast is NOT included, but this was not flagged up at the time of booking, so an extra £10 per person per night to pay on arrival if we wanted breakfast (or £12.95 if you didn't pay in advance but decided on the day). We heard plenty of other guests being surprised that breakfast was not included too, so it clearly needs to be spelled out better. Currently, it feels as though this fact is hidden, and a bit scam-like / hard-sell techniques on arrival. - Too hot to sleep - the duvet provided was a thick winter one despite it being a warm period in autumn when we stayed. (We're still using a 4 tog summer duvet at home.) Even wearing nothing in bed it was too hot, so we had to turn the air con on to cool the room down (which is noisy, so we didn't sleep well) but it was still too hot in bed. It would be better to provide a thinner duvet with a bedspread / throw on top which people can use as an additional blanket if needed, so guests can more easily tailor the bedding to their required sleeping temperature.
