Pros:

Beds were comfortable, good sized room

Cons:

Plastic Glasses in bathroom, no bin bags in bins, which I find bizarre, 2p for 2 bin bags, can imagine this would save Housekeeping time washing out Bins, room would be cleaned quicker

Excellent value to money l. Especially as breakfast was included. Comfortable room. Clean. Parking available but pricey
Pros:

Location to station. It’s right next door. Perfect for easy trip to Wembley Stadium

Cons:

It was quite warm. No obvious aircon in the room. Limited opening for the window. Can imagine it would be very uncomfortable in a heatwave!

Brilliant stay
Pros:

Breakfast had a good selection, the room was clean and bright. Great location to the bus service to the Harry Potter studio tour.

Cons:

We had an adjoining room and the other families who used it made it hard to sleep. Thankfully they were quiet from 10pm. But if you are a light sleeper it would be a hard room to stay in.
