Mid 3* hotel in Watford
The hotel is next to Watford Junction rail station which is great for the city. There is limited Parking at the back of the hotel for £7 per night which is comparable with the Rail station parking. This is a standard budget Holiday inn Express. We paid £158 for two nights, It provides the basic needs in a modern hotel, but with limited extras. The room was on the 5th floor with two working lifts. Room was spacious with the desk and sofa, good Wifi and modern bathroom. Minor quibbles were the shower water pressue was weak, and the Aircon quite noisy. Breakfast is included and adequate but you have fight your way through 30 other people wanting access to the buffet. I would stay here again for its convenience to London.

You are booking here probably because you need to attend a ceremony nearby, so perfectly fine for a short stay. It has a certain kind of familiarity to it. No air-con but we were here in November so not a problem at all. 30 or so spots of parking, no lift to 2nd floor, no complaints.
