We had a wonderful stay at the hotel. Although we had a very late check-in due to late arrival near midnight, food was still available. Overall, the facilities and cleanliness met our expectations.

Hotel is pretty standard Holiday Inn. Has a small car park at £20 per night. Restaurant has a varied menu of simple food. Service was slow and as a group of 10 our meals were delivered over the course of an hour.

Easy to find and get to and had parking. Hotel was lovely and clean and staff were very helpful and polite and friendly. Room was lovely and clean and spacious and had air conditioning, was a little disappointed couldn't open a window but still room was lovely. Little disappointed that it was 2single mattresses put together as made it very uncomfortable to sleep but managed to get some sleep. Had a bar and restaurant which wasn't too busy and was a lovely atmosphere. But disapointed there was no jam at breakfast could only find marmite but wasn't the end of the world. Would definitely stay again

Nice clean hotel stayed for 1 night.
Beds weren’t the most comfy and took a while for the air con to kick in so toasty for a while.
Was a good stay for the price, but a few frustrations like the hairdryer didn’t work and the worst coffee ever at breakfast but I still wouldn’t be put off.
I would work with google to pick up the local tube station as google maps made us get off 2 stops too early and after a long day in London, the extra 15 minutes was a bit much

Checkin took way too long, no automated process, despite 3 people being at the checkin desk they had to spend more time doing admin tasks than dealing with customers then their printer failed, so a que of 3 people took over 30 mins to wait. Not good when you are in a hurry.

Great little hotel, very clean and comfortable. Only down side was the dodgy vending machine without giving product and the evening meal of basic quality. Breakfast was included and was good.
