Best Western St Pierre

I feel smug.  

You know when you stumble across something that it a gem and you feel really smug that you discovered it?  Well I feel smug!

I stay in a lot of hotels, here and there, and they are all pretty much of a muchness.  The good ones are expensive and have no soul, and the bad ones are just BAD!  I have stopped in some right shit holes in my time, but I have also had the fortune to stay in some really swanky ones too.  Swings and roundabouts.

I am working in Wakefield at the moment (did I mention?) and I have tried couple of hotels.  The first was the Waterton Park Hotel which I can thoroughly recommend as it is a lovely hotel, but always fully booked!  However, the one I am smug about is the Best Western St Pierre which is located in a place called Newmillerdam in Wakefield which is about 3 miles from the city centre. 

The reason I feel so smug about it is not that it is the best hotel in the world, but for the fact that for the price, I cannot fault it.  The staff are really friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and large and the food is excellent.  If you do get bored of the menu there are a few pubs and restaurants you can walk to in 5 minutes, some of which I have written about before, see Italian halloumi, Cuban tapas and broken glass & Welcome -to Wakefield?.

The only thing I can think that ‘some’ people might not like it for is that is hasn’t got a gym, but you are right near the country side and Newmillerdam Country Park so you can go for a run or walk in what is a beautiful place. 

So, if you are ever in West Yorkshire and need somewhere to stay, look them up. And don’t forget to tell them I sent you.  I might get a freebie!
