Excellent Service!!!

We had a little issue at check in with the room type, but the lady at the check in counter was kind and accommodating. And after a long flight that was very nice. Its a convenient location to stansted airport, with a shuttle that runs 24/7 for those ridiculously early flights. Would definitely recommend.

Awful stay

We had booked a standard room and the picture showed a double bed however we arrived and I got into the room and it was two single beds for me and my girlfriend, I went to ask if we could get a double bed as I said there was no option and they said a standard room gives you whatever there is available, when we got into the room the air conditioning did not work and it was far too hot in the room and we had to keep going outside just to get some fresh air and cool down and we got barely any sleep because of this.

My stay

Good food, breakfast was way better than I expected, the doors could do with some soundproofing where the door meets the frame as there’s quite a gap for noise to enter the room but other than that very happy with the room and Hotel.

Room was ok if a little dirty. It had a sofa bed I could not put away which took up most of the space in the room and the bathroom shower drain kept making gurgling noises all night even though I did not use it.
