A HUDDERSFIELD town centre hotel has been given three-star accreditation.
The Huddersfield Central Lodge, Beast Market, has been upgraded from Guest Accommodation to 3-Star Metro Hotel following “incognito” overnight inspections from the AA and tourism body VisitEngland.
The criteria which must be met for this award is the same as other officially accredited 3-star hotels. The only difference is that where a full restaurant facility is not available, there must be a wide and varied selection of restaurants within a 10-minute walk.
Joe Marsden, who runs the hotel with his brother Johnny, said guests who didn’t wish to eat in town could choose from an extensive room service menu throughout the evening. To provide the service, two extra staff had been employed, one part-time and one full-time who worked at the George Hotel until its recent closure.
Joe Marsden said: “We are delighted with our new accreditation.”
The demise of the George Hotel means Huddersfield Central Lodge is the only 3-star hotel in the town centre.
