Overall it was a perfect base for our trip.
Pros:

Location was perfect for Harry Potter Studios. Located near Watford junction so London was easily accessible by train.
Breakfast was good. Staff very friendly.

Cons:

Air-con very noisy.
Carpet in room could be replaced.
Breakfast finished at 9:30am prompt! Everything was taken away, not ideal when you have tired small children who have been up later exploring the city.
