Checked in late but room was really good for the price. Really (exceptionally) friendly staff from start to finish. Great little breakfast and a good night's sleep (bed a little hard and small but only one night it was ok). Overall would recommend and stay again.

The breakfast and overall service were excellent. The bed was quite uncomfortable and mad sleeping difficult (even after a bottle of red wine!). I was also disappointed to find that my IHG “points” were not applied because I booked through Expedia! I may have missed this when booking but, if it wasn’t made clear, it should be!

It was a good value stay before our flight from Stansted. The room was clean but a bit worn. The staff were friendly. Breakfast was decent, though there was a shortage of seating as all the guests showed up at the same time. Would stay again.

Hotel in a quiet location. Friendly staff. Rooms are outdated but regularly cleaned. High-quality towels and excellent mattresses and pillows. TV channels limited to free-to-air channels only. Excellent Wi-Fi stability. Unfortunately, the breakfast menu is always the same, but it is fresh and tasty every morning, as long as you don't have to stay for more than one breakfast. This hotel is only suitable for one or two nights. The evening bar is good and has an excellent selection of beers. The instant coffee machine at breakfast produces instant coffee, which is more unpleasant than tasty.
