Handy location and nice public areas. After that things fall down a bit..|The rooms are incredibly dated and worn, just did not feel great at all. Maybe if the hotel would like to respond with when they were last updated??? …

Superb service in restaurant. Abeer is fantastic. Even gave me a complimentary beer as I’ve just had a new baby with my wife. Food gorgeous and service exceptional. Can’t fault it. Rooms outdated but other than that all good. Food - Scotch Egg, Beef Wellington, Apple Pie. Cheap and delicious 10/10

We've just finished staying for 3 nights and couldn't have been happier with our stay. Rooms and hotel are lovely, modern and clean; bonus points for the large fridge in the room! Staff were all lovely, polite and efficient. Food was great, we had breakfast here ever morning (kids loved the pancake machine) and had a meal here one night (the steak was great and kids loved their meals too!) and the deal we got for here and Legoland was fantastic. Will definitely recommend and be back again. Great stay!

I had too much luggage and it was too heavy. Fortunately, Mr. Aman S responded quickly and helped me carry it downstairs. At the same time, the parking problem was solved smoothly. Excellent staff must be praised. Because of you, I will definitely choose to stay in the hotel again. Thanks again.
