Stayed for just one night ahead of a conference. I was in Room 6, which had a bedroom on the floor above the lounge area, and a bathroom downstairs. Check-in was easy and a short walk to the courtyard where the room (more like a small chalet) was. I wasn't expecting much from this place, I knew it was mostly a golf/sports retreat, but I was very impressed (and I have very high standards - see my other 200 reviews!). Yes, its not Coworth Park or the Grove, but it's rather excellent in it's own rather unflashy way. The room isn't designer driven 'wow' - but very smart and functional, spotlessly clean, so many plug sockets I didn't know which to use, and the lighting and air conditioning perfect. The internet was super fast, and I loved the ipad thingy to order everything. Room service was fast and utterly delicious, and the bed super comfy after a nice bath in the big bathroom. There are no rooms around you (you hear nothing from the semidetached room on the other side), and the service at breakfast was super. I really wasn't expecting to be so impressed, but it goes to show that get the basics perfect and you don't need to stay at the Dorchester!
