Stayed before but coach parties given preference
Pros:

I’ve stayed at the hotel many times before and have Best Western rewards membership but this trip was dire as preferential treatment was given to the four coach parties staying in the hotel .
Coach parties are always a bad thing if your an eco traveler and single person.
I booked dinner bed and breakfast and the person who was Spanish on reception was lovely but things went downhill rapidly after that .
Room 329 I was given was a downgrade and my evening meal was poor and breakfast was worse as a restaurant member misgendered me .
So my room upgrade was a downgrade of what I booked and a lot of bigotry from restaurant staff towards LGBTQ I+ people which is a community I belong too .
Nice quirky round Bruitalist hotel but restaurant staff could do with equality and diversity training around LGBTQI+ people and they way they address people and their pronouns

Damaged car and small rooms.
Pros:

DO NOT USE THIS HOTEL.
We got there and had to change rooms because we never had enough room for our cases. After changing rooms we were left with a room you could only get out one side of the bed.
We left our brand new BYD and the parking company damaged the wing and bumper and because we didn't spot it when we got back because it was dark and raining ,they said it could have already been there.
We got 3 parking tickets plus admin charges off our lease company every time, this was despite being told to leave the car outside the door because there wasn't any parking.
You have been warned.
Now we have to pay to correct the damaged wing and bumper.

Perfect pricing and beautiful rooms
Pros:

I can't thank the team enough for helping me out at the last minute. They managed to get me a room on very short notice and made what could have been a stressful situation completely hassle free.

A special thanks to Milagre and Jose Rangita, who all went above and beyond to make sure everything was sorted. Their professionalism, kindness and willingness to help really stood out. It's rare to come across customer service like that these days.

I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. Thank you again!

No clear route from terminal to hotel
Pros:

Okay for one night, very comfortable bed

Cons:

Would have expected a shuttle service due to name of hotel. When asking reception how to get from terminal to hotel was told use local bus, black cab or Uber who quoted me £38 for 1.5 mile trip!

Hotel was priced well and convenient for overnight stay before early flight from Heathrow.
Pros:

Price was good. Proximity to Heathrow and availability of inexpensive airport shuttle. Very convenient to bus line to provide connection to trains into London. Friendly staff. Allowed early checkin. USB C phone charging port in conference room

Cons:

There were no wall adapters available to loan to staff. Staff should be aware of phone charging ports in conference room. Facilities smell musty/mildewy. May need thorough cleaning and AC system cleaning.

Pros:

I had a reservation, paid in advance, and upon arrival asked clerk at desk if he had it reservation, before releasing our taxi. It was just after midnight. He said yes. I told taxi he could leave, but please pick us up at 6:00 AM. We went back to desk clerk and he said yes, and I said I would like to check in to my room. He said he doesn't have a room for us! I became upset and asked what he meant...he had just told me he had my reservation. He said yes, he has my reservation, but no room for us.
The level of disappointment can not be meadured!
We layed on the curb for over an hour, until another taxi returned to take us back to airport. It picked us up at near 2:00 AM.

Cons:

No room to match prepaid reservation.

Avoid this hotel at all cost !!
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The breakfast was like feeding time at the zoo . With people just piling in like they hadn’t been fed , then fill their bags with anything they could get .
My daughter left her glasses in the room by mistake. When she tried contacting the hotel she got no answer as the number cut out . She phoned the main office for best western who struggled to get in touch with them .
When she eventually got to speak to them the staff member was rude and unhelpful.
I will never stay in this hotel or any Best Western hotel ever again . It has the worst customer service ever .
