Just had an enjoyable stay at the Aviator Hotel in Farnborough. I think it is the best hotel room we have been in so far. (The Dome House in the Lake District doesn't count as that was a B&B)

We did have a missing dinner reservation on Saturday but that was the only glitch as they squeezed us in straight away and nothing else was an issue.

Having joined up communications really does lift the service element. How else did they know to have candles lit and the lights on in the room ready for us as we opened the door. I doubt they would leave candles burning away all day long in the hope of catching us at the right time. How else did they know to do our room whilst we were at breakfast so when we returned it had all been done?

They do have online specials and I probably waited two years to get the right deal at the right time, but worth waiting for. We booked one of the Aviator Studios facing the airport but got upgraded to a Sky Suite, although they didn't say but I compare the facilities listed on their website. It might have been the fact that they had a big party on the Saturday night in their Sky-Lounge and moved us further across.

Anyway, the room was cavernous with a large walk-in wardrobe with a mini-bar stocked with a good range of soft drinks and water. The bathroom was as large as some of the smaller hotel rooms I have stayed in. A large L-shaped sofa that I would gladly have in my home.

This was the lounge part of the room!

That was on the breakfast bar. Rude not to have partaken in some!
