Didn't like the treatment when we had dinner. Didn't like the tone of one member of the staff and having to order from the bar every single dish or drink and rushed to pay immediately like we we're some sort of criminals trying to steal a meal. Definitely very disappointed. Never happened to us before in any other hotel.
We were really pleased with this hotel. Clean, comfy, quiet. Not fancy but everything you need in a stopover convenient to Stansted. The shuttle was also a big plus. It’s. Ice that they include breakfast, tho before 6 it’s pretty spartan. Still grateful for it tho!

Staff very friendly and worked together servicing the guests.
The room was well equipped, clean & comfortable. The early start for breakfast was excellent as we had an early flight. Meghan the front desk receptionist was excellent & sorted out a problem I had with a double booking. I would recommend this establishment to my family & friends without hesitation.
