We had a wonderful time at the hotel with its comfortable rooms and lovely pool area, although breakfast service was a bit disorganized. The staff was friendly, which made our stay more enjoyable. On the downside, the noisy neighbors during our second night were unfortunate, and the room could have used some minor cleaning improvements.

This hotel has a convenient location but unfortunately has seen better days. The rooms were spacious and clean, but some of the amenities and dining experiences left much to be desired. The service was variable, with some attentive staff members but also instances of inefficiency. Although there were some positives, like the cleanliness and comfortable beds, overall, it did not provide the luxury experience we were hoping for.

I had a lovely overnight stay here with my family. The room was spacious and perfect for us, especially with the fold-up beds for the kids. The swimming pool was an added touch, and breakfast was simply amazing. However, I did find the dining options in the sports bar to be limited, and the restaurant was quite formal for our taste. Overall, it was a great experience with some minor drawbacks.

I had a lovely overnight stay at this hotel while visiting family. The room was spacious and the bed was extremely comfortable, which made for a restful night. Breakfast was good, but the queue was longer than expected. Though I didn't get to try the pool or spa, they looked inviting. Overall, it's a nice hotel, but during busy times, a bit more help in the dining area would have made things smoother.

The McDonald Botley Park Hotel and Spa has some friendly staff and a nice spa that offers great treatments. However, the experience was marred by poor dining options, inadequate cleanliness in the facilities, and overall, it did not meet the 4-star expectations. It felt more like a budget option for the price we paid, and many aspects were quite disappointing.

Rooms

The room was dated and basic, lacking the charm I had hoped for. It felt quite cold at first, but I managed to get the air flow working eventually.
