Good location, nice clean rooms, front desk service was great. Close to shops, pubs, and food. We really enjoyed until housekeeping woke us up in the morning.Loud talking and they had a door latched they kept letting slam over and over for hours.Really great value for a hotel though, we’d consider staying again if we weren’t right next to where housekeeping kept the supplies.

Very friendly service, a special shoutout to Belle in the restaurant and bar - such a fabulous asset to the hotel. Really clean rooms, comfortable bed, very nice and accommodating staff throughout. Really beautiful aroma of fresh cotton when you enter the foyer - so fresh and welcoming.Breakfast is extremely good, very delicious. We ate at the restaurant each evening as it was so handy and the menu was varied. We had a few issues one evening with food not being right but it was sorted by the very capable and unflappable Belle. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel, especially if visiting the Warner Bros Studios Harry Potter tour located nearby. The hotel is just a short walk from the shuttle bus pickup point at Watford Junction. Looking forward to staying here again sometime in the future.

Great stay here for 1 night. Check in was easy and the car park is located near by (CitiPark Sutton) and a good price as the hotel discounts the fee (just put in your registration at reception). Easy check in and check out and the rooms were clean and comfortable, with tea/coffee facilities, TV and iron available
