Washington Central is by far the best hotel to stay in Workington. Point. However, this has to do more with the fact that the city itself does not provide really comfy and luxurious accommodation, than Washington Central being awesome. A frequent business traveler, I can definitely say that the hotel's pricing is a bit too high for its service scopes. But hey, if the other hotels in town are worthless, then they can enjoy their monopoly status, right?
Positives: very good service, helpful reception, nice breakfast, swimming pool
Negatives: overpriced, the gym is in poor condition (old machines, carpet floors etc.)
