“Good Basic No Frills Motel”

For a no frills stay this is a good hotel. Rooms a little on the small side but adequate for short break stay. A 15 minute walk into St Albans. Breakfast offering a good selection on the buffet style. Good size car park.

“would repeat”

The factors that decrease the comfort were a fairly hard bed, and too much heating in the room at all times, which I even saw online in other clients reviews, meaning the hotel does nothing after a negative review about the heating. Luckily in room 307, we had the possibility to open the bathroom window, not like my daughters 302, where they suffocated.I must also mention a very dubious stain on the beds comforter.

“Great Budget Hotel”

Some parts of the Hotel still require modernising, but they are clean and the remainder of the hotel that has been refurbished is excellent. The staff were extremely helpful and the reception team first class. Facilities ie Pool and Gym superb

“Not bad”

Stayed here with work, rooms are clean and fairly standard, staff are friendly and helpfull. The pool is excellent!

“Inexpensive and sufficient car parking space”

This hotel is not high end, or particularly modern. But it's clean, and enough car parking spaces for all its guests (more than can be said for the St Albans Comfort hotel). In the summer the rooms overheat and no fans are provided. But I do return here week after week because it's inexpensive and good enough. The restaurant food is nice enough - but I've been eating there for a month, and they've not yet changed the menu.

“Nice hotel in a good location”

Hotel was very nice and helpful. Short and safe walk into town or to train made getting around easy. Room was small but for single traveler just fine. I would look to go back if I'm in the area

“Will stay again”

Close to town center, good meal, pleasant and helpful staff.

“Not a "North American Experience"”

The hotel does not provide the comfort level of a Holiday Inn. The room was plain, clean and "very functional". The en suite bathroom was not up to North American standards for a hotel in the same category. The hotel is a little poky. It is funny to walk along a corridor and have the lights activated by movement! The dining room made claims to being a bit grander than it actually was. The Food was excellent and the fixed price menu good value by English standards. The bar was well stocked. The buffet breakfast was nothing short of excellent, but more expensive than our dinner! That was an absolute first. There was excellent wifi service at a cost. Nice swimming pool and fitness room. Very nice location 15 minutes walk from the cathedral in downtown St. Albans or a reasonable enough taxi fare.

“Better than expected”

Lovely staff, food was good value and well presented. Shower wall needed a clean and the hose leading to the shower head was a bit leaky. Overall though good value- I didn't realise breakfast was included in the room rate so that was a pleasent suprise. I had a cold at the time of visit so didn't get to explore the pool/gym. Easy to park car. Bit concerned the windows were a bit flimsy, and as a female staying alone was suprised to be at the front on the ground floor. Would definitley stay again, but not first choice.

“Never again”

Worst place we've stayed in 40 years of travel in England. Small, dark, dirty room in older part with frequent noise from trains right behind hotel. Bedspread and blanket old and stained. Sheet had old blood stain. Bed wasold and uncomfortable. Had to get spare pillows from cupboard to lie on to try and pad the springs. Bathroom, small with mold around bath etc. Tiny semicircular sink. Couldn't even brush teeth properly! Long walk to station, restaurants and attractions. Parking in rear good and breakfast very good.
