We stayed at The Huddersfield Central Lodge for just one night in November 2006 so that we could attend our son’s Graduation Day. After negotiating Huddersfield’s one-way system we found the hotel which is located right in the middle of the town..Check-in at reception was easy. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our son stayed in room 34 in the main part of the hotel. I did not see his room but, even though we paid for a single room for him, his room apparently had three beds in it. My husband and I stayed in room 42 in The Mews. This room was very well equipped with all the usual: TV, hairdryer, coffee/tea making facilities but also included an iron and ironing board. Also, to my surprise, the room had a little kitchenette with microwave and hot plates. I think it even had a fridge. We also had our own private terrace with table and chairs and a patio gas heater. I think this room would make a great base for anyone holidaying in Yorkshire. It was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was adequate. There was plenty on offer but not very excitingly laid out. My only gripe was that the curtains in our room were rather thin. Our room overlooked an inner courtyard and the secure car park all of which were very well lit right through the night. Because of the rather thin curtains, our room was very light and I spent half the night awake because the room was not dark enough. On top of this, I heard a distant church bell chime every quarter hour. Had the room been dark and I was able to sleep deeply, I think I would not have heard the church bells. The hotel had a very large and very secure car park with electronic gates. We were able to leave our car there (for a charge of £4 for the day) after we had checked out and they allowed us to use the reception toilet to change in to for the Graduation Ceremony.
