Stayed here on 14 Oct 2022. It was not my first. Before the pandemic, I stayed here twice. The experience was good for the price. This third time was the same. Room quite basic. For the price I paid, the room was decent. With a queen bed and an extra single bed, the room was still quite spacious. And quite brightly lit, unlike most other hotels. Room clean, even though I saw a crisp wrapper on the floor. Bed comfortable. The extra single bed was already set up even though I was alone. Tea and coffee provided in-room with a kettle. Plus a hairdryer. Bathroom clean. But no rails on the wall for elderly to get in and out of the bath shower safely. I didn't like showers in bath tubs for safety reason and I was told this hotel did not have rooms with stand alone shower cubicles. The extraction fan was rather noisy. Service at check in and check out was fast and easy. Only 1 lift was in operation. So had to wait a while.
We spent 3 nights, with two kids. We felt very comfortable. Good breakfast. Lovely staff. And very cheap car parking deal. It is 20 minutes away from London, but good train connection.
Worth the money we pay. The staffs were really friendly, especially the girl at the reception desk. Breakfast was good for that rate. Would definitely recommend. Will come back for sure!
Excellent value. Modern building, good quality rooms. Decent restaurant. Reception can have queues for check in but no worse than more expensive hotels. Parking £10 per day but on street parking is free nearby from 5.30 pm to 09.30am and is £2.40 per hour inbetween- but only via app.
2nd stay at this hotel, first since February 2020 and I have to say in all fairness to the staff, that most of them still remembered us. Geoffrey the manager is a very nice person and I was astounded to see so many bad comments on him in these reviews. Comfortable beds, accessible showers and baths, always cleaned to perfection whenever we asked. Overall friendly staff, the buffet for breakfast is 10/10, overall just a top class hotel, in a friendly location aswell. Would definitely recommend to a family who are looking for a cheap hotel.
