Breakfast Good, Parking NOT good.
Nice hotel, Great Breakfast and breakfast staff really friendly and food was hot and delicious.
Room ok, standard with tea & coffee supplied.
Clean and fresh.
Very handy for Warner Brothers Studio tours. Only 15 minutes away.
Car parking was horrendous. No disabled spaces and only about 30 spaces, very tight to get in and out. Council parking is available a few minutes away, but when you need disabled spaces, you need it for a reason.
Ideal for business trips.

The wrong plot for a hotel so ok given this
The general location is excellent, it is clean and well maintained. The staff were also great.
The location is down some dark narrow streets with a scruffy site next door and a parking area that is poorly lit and also with crumbling walls and old hoardings. I found another way to walk back on St Albans Road that was better lit.
The bed is small and the air con noisy or with the window open there is significant train noise.
The breakfast is ok.
