Friendly staff, convenient location, but room uncomfortable as temperature we were told was hotel based and 23.5 degrees at night was too hot. The staff provided a fan but that didn't help much and was noisy. So not the most comfortable stay.

Good location

Very comfortable had a twin accessable room plenty of floor space to suit any disability. Large wet room fitted with all the hand rails etc. One of our main reasons for staying is the location close to rail service for our trips into central London. Good quality food at breakfast and a menu selection in the evening. Would recommend to family and friends.
