Hotel 0 Rama - Something Old, Something New

While doing some research I stumbled across a new hotel previously off the list. This week's contest will pit the Mad Hatter against the Hart House.

The Mad Hatter is a Fuller's Hotel, so it is similar to the Sanctuary in that it has a pub downstairs, but it has the benefit of being much cheaper approx $150 a night versus $250.

The Hart House we've seen before, it was the only contest we had that ended in a tie. To be honest, I had to think about why the hotel was on the list - but it seems to represent good value for your money. Nicer than it's peer group for the rate and in a decent neighborhood. It also received good reviews - its about $200 a night.

My guess is the rooms at Hart House will likely be a bit quieter, and better appointed, nicer sheets, blankets etc, just an all around nicer room while the Mad Hatter will probably be a little noisier, linens a little scratchier, maybe rooms run down a bit - but not a dump by any means. Most of the reviews are in the "Hey nice little hotel, I got a great rate, and the hotel was good enough" arena. Although it does have its ardent fans and a couple haters as all hotels seem to have over there.
