The hair dryer is missing . And the radiator is not working. We message the host around 11pm. We appreciate that it’s a bit late in the night but no response until we check out. Also there is dust on the wall, not as clean as other guests commented However the bed is quite comfortable.

Hotel is located on a quiet street in a small village just outside Coventry airport and the outer ring road. Chinese takeaway next door and convenience store across the street (although check opening hours; it was shut when I arrived about 5pm). Also a pub about 5-10 min walk down the road. Plenty of parking at the rear and access codes to the front door and your room are sent shortly before arrival. Room had all usual amenities - storage, telly, kettle with plenty of tea and biscuits, shampoo/body wash/hand cream in the bathroom. Extras of essential items were available in the main entrance, along with a vending machine for snacks and drinks. WiFi worked well, bed was very comfy, room was a good temperature, and although some noise was audible from other rooms, people were very considerate about trying to be quiet. Shower was a bit cosy, particularly for anyone over 5'10". Room was generally clean but had a few stains on the carpet and hard water marks on all the bathroom sanitary ware. Still very good value for money, though, and would definitely stay again.
Tea and coffee station next to the telly.
Toilet and heated towel rail.
Shower stall was a bit cosy, particularly for anyone larger than average.
Amenities provided in the bathroom.

I was at The Dakota for four nights and two of them were a bit of a challenge but the managers were amazing. Brilliant communication and were able to help me. They offered suggestions for where to eat too which was a bonus. It was a nice and quiet location and the rooms were quiet too aside from some banging doors from other guests but that’s to be expected. The key lock boxes were fabulous and I felt very safe as a solo traveller. There was the odd few cobwebs and the bathroom smelled a bit damp but nothing major. I would stay there again.
