Nice place waste of resources with the small soap bars that get thrown away after one use. Not great for the environment. Only one bath towel with no face/hand towel and no shower gel. Lucky, I always bring my own!! Reception person was lovely. Hairdryer was broken in my room and she dealt with me immediately and was very welcoming and friendly

The hotel looked good on the web but I had some doubts, partly from other peoples comments. I shouldn't have worried, it is one of the best places we have stayed in during months of travel. Unlike some chain hotels there's no deferred maintenance. It's really tidy and everything works well. It was a great base with park and ride and the M11 both very close. The staff were really great and felt like old friends over our four day stay. Thanks to Sarah and Darren (the breakfast team) who looked after us and gave us some helpful travel tips. Overall it was like a home from home.

The bed was really uncomfortable. It was too soft. My husband could feel the wires inside the bed. Other than that it was fine.
