Lovely spot and delicious breakfast
Pros:

The hotel is lovely, with a nice garden, and a short walk to the center of St Albans. The breakfast is generous with cooked to order options and a continental buffet (ours was included). The staff is friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The wifi is very weak, making it difficult to do work in the room. And the rooms could use a bit of a refresh, but are very nice for the price.
