Lovely hotel, ideal for early flight out and we stayed there on the way back home too. All staff were lovely and accommodating, even at 2am in the morning! Rooms big, clean and have what you need. We did not hear any noise from other guests and had a peaceful sleep. Breakfast is lovely too!

The hotel is very convenient if you are flying from Stansted Airport. It offers a light breakfast if departing before 6am and a full hot English breakfast thereafter. They also offer a transit shuttle ( £4.00 per person to and from the airport. No stress, everything is straight forward. We have stayed at this hotel and used the shuttle 3 time. Excellent organisation.

Staff were lovely but checked in for 4 people. The sofa bed was the most uncomfortable you could possibly imagine. None of the sockets were working and we called reception and they told us they already know about it. They switched us rooms and this room smelt badly of smoke, the carpet's are filthy and stained and the bed had big stains on the sheets.
