Decent stay but dreadful breakfast
Lovely staff. Comfy bed. Breakfast was terrible. It was cold, and I’ve no idea what the eggs and sausage was made of.

We stayed at this hotel two night, both before and after flights. Excellent value for money as hotel is very reasonably priced. Area is a little sketchy but there's little the hotel can do about that. Parking is limited but plenty around it. Good breakfast with veggie options. Generally a very good stay for an excellent price.

Does what it says on the tin, clean and tidy accommodation with a comfortable bed - close to Luton airport which is convenient. 24hr check in is also useful, we arrived at midnight and left at 5am.

Overnight stay before flight
We had an overnight stay before early flight from Luton. Rooms were ok, carpet was very stained in the room and general wear and tear visible. Bathroom and bedding was very clean. Reception and eating area downstairs was very nice. The hotel area outside is not the best, would not venture out late at night. Lots of people hanging around outside along from the hotel. The noise outside in the middle of the night was terrible. Sounded like gangs passing past. We had an early flight so got up at 4am we were very quiet in the room but the person in next room stared banging on the wall then came and kicked on our room door. Terrifying experience. I phoned reception and they sent security up and they sorted it out immediately. They staff and security were very helpful and apologised and advised the person would be removed from their room. Would not stay again due to area.

Decent for what it is
It’s nothing special but great value for short stay with early morning flight. Staff are friendly and helpful and sort early taxi for you. Only thing to improve is soundproofing windows as lots of noise from external areas
