I would stay here again
This hotel is located in a quiet, residential neighborhood, although it is on a major street with frequent buses. As a woman, I felt safe walking there alone at night. The building is modern with a wonderful gym, pool and whirlpool. This is not right in the heart of Oxford, but it is an easy walk. The room was large and comfortable. The only downside was that our room was over the lobby and there was some noise from the bar at night, though it did not last late on a Friday night. This is a major wedding venue and that may be factor on a Saturday night. A very nice hotel and I would stay there again.
Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay
Go to the Oxford Tourist Bureau and get a good map. The people who work there are very knowledgeable and helpful.

Fine place to stay
This represented an interesting combination of mid-range American motel and more typical English small hotel. The price was fair, the room clean and pleasant, and the service mostly gracious and accommodating (even if they remain baffled by American’s thirst for ice). The location is very convenient to the important bits of Oxford. Be aware that many--most--British and European hotels don’t use top sheets or supply blankets. You may have to take apart the heavy comforter to get a decent night’s sleep (they apparently assume that every room temperature will be a uniform 30 degrees). And at this hotel, stay away if you can from the internet service. Their supplier, Swiss Telecom, seems to be running a scam (billing for services not ordered or authorized), and of course the hotel used the Sergeant Shultz defense.

beds uncomfortable, have to pay for internet
My husband and I have stayed at this hotel twice and overall it is a good value for the money. The first time we stayed we had a very comfortable room and the bed was nice, our only complaint was having to pay for internet access. I really feel in this day that should be included in the price of the room. Also, they don’t tell you that you can actually get free wi-fi if you sit in the lounge/bar area, and we found that out by accident after paying for 1 day of internet. If you are providing free internet in your bar, why should I have to pay for it in the room?? This time the room we had was not as nice, and the bed was downright uncomfortable. My back was really complaining after the 4 nights we spent there, and it was a relief when we switched to the much nicer airport hotel. The decor is a little dated. The staff are very friendly and helpful., and it is nice to have access to the gym/pool. Overall it was a good value for the money, but I think I would look for another option next time I stay in Oxford (I travel to the UK often). Still, if you get a good deal on the room, it’s a pretty solid good choice.
