Mrs Purdy, Hertfordshire
There was excessive street noise from outside our bedroom which went on until 4.30am. Then a council dust-cart arrived to wake us at 7.45am. The hotel made no effort to move us, listen to us or alleviate our distress in anyway. We had no sleep at all, except for 2 hours between the outside noise abating and the dustcart arriving. The hotel should warn guests beforehand that there is excessive street noise from two pubs outside the room. This hotel wanted our money and cared about nothing else. The reception staff just said sorry, smiled and did nothing.
Liked: Excellent breakfast.
Disliked: Street noise from our room was excessive.

Liked: Good location, garage for car, friendly and helpful staff.
Disliked: Used to stay here regularly for conferences 30 years ago. Sadly the hotel is beginning to show it's age. While the location is great, facilities need an upgrade.

Definitely not worth the money
Liked: The location was excellent
Disliked: The room looked as if it has not been decorated since the seventies, the furniture was tired and the draws and cupboard doors were broken/ill fitting. The paint was discoloured and stained. The shower was extremely difficult to operate with the temperature gauge broken meaning that on my first morning I had to have a cold shower!!!

Disappointment!
Liked: The location was great.
Disliked: It was not clean at all. The place needs a refurbishement.The pub of the hotel is causing a lot of noise. Book a Premier Inn or an Ibis, it‘s better and cheaper.
