Nice hotel.
I liked the hotel. The staff were accommodating and the hotel was quite smart apart from the lobby chairs which were stained. The bed was very comfortable and the room was good. My only problem was with the breakfast. The way the room worked was that foot traffic travelled around a central area in a clockwise direction with food and drinks/toasters etc on both sides of a walkway about 3-4 foot wide. When I arrived the coffee machine was broken so a backlog of people were waiting in this area whilst other guests were trying to pass through collecting their breakfasts meaning that it was extremely cramped with people shoving into other people and leaving no space for anyone else to wait or pass through the area. I sat down to wait for 10 minutes and tried again but it was still exactly the same. I got barged into twice whilst in the queue for a coffee. I sat down again and waited another 10 minutes. When there was finally enough space for me to pass there were no croissants left. I asked a staff member if there were any more and she said no. I looked around the carousel. 1 rasher of greasy bacon. 2 hash browns. No eggs, no beans no sausages. I decided to just have a piece of toast but when I walked round to the toaster it had been turned off. The coffee machine had also been turned off and the pancake maker so I ended up with NO breakfast or coffee even though we’d arrived in the breakfast area at 9.25am. This was a very poor show. Shame, could have been avoided.

A perfectly average hotel, nothing particularly special, nothing particularly bad. Handy for supermarket, fast food and motorway. This obviously brings traffic noise, uninspiring surroundings.

Great stay prior to flying from Luton, if you don’t fancy staying in hotel for drinks then the Colney fox is a short walk away. However the hotel drinks are reasonably priced and nice seating area to the front.

Ideal for a couple, not for families. We have a toddler and a 9 month old, we had to have a pull out bed for the toddler and a cot for the baby. We barely fit into the room it was so so small. There were empty bottles in the bathroom, the bins weren’t emptied. The rooms aren’t soundproofed at all, heard every person coming and going in the hallway and heard the people next door. Barely any tables to sit at in the restaurant, and most of the food facilities were broken. Food was dry and overcooked, could be due to it being a buffet. No food for the children. No milk either so had to go to the shops to get some. Shopping and petrol station 1 minute away which was ideal. Parking was ideal too as free. There was a young gentleman on who was absolutely lovely and helped us out with everything. Ideal checkout time as you can finish your breakfast and go to the room to finish packing. To summarise; great for couples, not for families. Cleanliness isn’t all that great and breakfast was not enjoyable.
