Decent

The hotel itself was nice, with a small modern breakfast and seating area. The room was rather small and a bit worn, but it was decent. It was generally a decent stay.

Good location

Very comfortable had a twin accessable room plenty of floor space to suit any disability. Large wet room fitted with all the hand rails etc. One of our main reasons for staying is the location close to rail service for our trips into central London. Good quality food at breakfast and a menu selection in the evening. Would recommend to family and friends.
