"We were staying only for one night as early flight from Luton airport. Location is perfect close to the shops and Main Street only few minutes walk from the train station and bus station .
Hotel was lovely for what we’ve paid only thing it was very hot day and night and you don’t have air conditioning in the rooms but at least they give you air cooler
Beds were comfortable only thing I would say is the pillows they are to hard the rest very good . Staff very friendly we’ve been offered early breakfast as we would missed the breakfast due to early checked out so we got lots of croissants 😄😄free hot drinks available at the reception,perfect ! No fridge in the rooms"

"i travelled down from Hull on the train for a solo trip, having stayed here before to catch a flight so use this hotel as my main go to, i always have an enjoyable stay, the rooms are always clean, warm enough and i get a good nights sleep. if parking then it can be paid via the app, signs are clear in the car park. check in and check out process is very straight forward, lifts are available. i have not tried the food here so cant comment on this. but as a stay for 1 or 2 nights its great. Highly recommend."
