Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was good, the staff were very friendly and we will be staying there again.
Our second stay at this property. Chose it for its location as we were taking our granddaughters into London by train. Train station a ross the road with frequent direct trains to London. Free parking at the hotel a bonus. A nice pub nearby and a nice walk along the canal. Rooms clean and sufficient. Staff friendly.
